1Where it livesIs it the real company's or person's own address or number?

A mover that shows its USDOT number, so you can look it up.

A site with no USDOT number anywhere.

Book a free visit, and pay by card when your things arrive.

Send $556 by Zelle or Cash App before anyone has seen your home.

3How hard it pushesIs there a deadline, a threat, or a surprise charge?

No deposit, free to book.

RememberLook a mover up on FMCSA before you book, and never pay a deposit by Zelle, Cash App or wire.
