Better Business Bureau Offers Tips For People Hiring Movers
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - From cleaning up the neighborhood to finding a brand new one, moving season is getting under way.
New York's Better Business Bureau wants to make sure everyone moving gets a fair deal.
They make a few suggestions:
1) Get a cost estimate, and get it in writing.
2) Don't just get one, get at least three estimates to make sure you get the best price.
3) Find out if your mover is licensed and insured. To check if a mover is licensed in New York call (518) 457-6512, or e-mail nymoving@dot.ny.gov.
