Your movers should have been here a long time ago but there\u2019s still no sign of the moving truck coming down the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And although you may feel like screaming at the top of your lungs, <em><strong>Help! My movers are late!<\/strong><\/em>, the best thing you can do under the circumstances is to resist the urge to press the panic button and weigh your options carefully while keeping your head cool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, there is always an alternative solution to each difficult situation, no matter how complicated it may be. Failure to see the right answer right there and then doesn\u2019t mean that there isn\u2019t a way out of the tight spot you currently find yourself in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what to do if your movers are late? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what if your movers don\u2019t show up at all? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What options do you have? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to find out what to do when your movers are late. Really late!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"What_To_Do_When_Movers_Are_Late\">Believe it or not, there are a bunch of things you can actually do when your moving company is late for the appointed day and time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, your recommended course of action will depend on whether your movers have failed to show up for pickup or whether your movers are late for delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"My_movers_are_late_for_pickup\">Your movers are late for pickup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what you should do if your movers happen to be late for pickup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Remain_calm\">Step 1. Remain calm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Panic is a always bad adviser<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The very first thing you should do is to take a deep breath, count to TWENTY, and try to keep your cool even if that seems like an impossible task at that overwhelmingly anxious moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that sudden spikes of stress and anxiety may prove detrimental to your health, so be careful not to expose yourself to unjustified health risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Look_for_a_logical_explanation\">Step 2. Look for a logical explanation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-aspectratio=\"450\/306\" width=\"450\" height=\"306\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/dog.jpg\" alt=\"Movers are late\" class=\"wp-image-41637 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/dog.jpg 450w, https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/dog-300x204.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>You can ask your pet to warn you when your movers are arriving. A single bark (or meow) means <em>A vehicle is approaching!<\/em>, while two happy barks (or meows) will mean, <em>I see a moving truck! Our movers have finally arrived.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Your movers missing in action but there\u2019s no need to panic simply because there may be a logical explanation as to why your movers are not where they were supposed to be by now (your home) and doing what they were supposed to be doing (moving your household). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the first and most widely used excuse of <strong>getting stuck in road traffic or having a flat tire on the road<\/strong>, there can be other valid reasons why your movers haven\u2019t shown yet, such as <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>technical issues with the moving truck, <\/li><li>the moving vehicle being pulled over for inspection, <\/li><li>movers having gone to the wrong address, <\/li><li>a rare mix-up of the moving schedule, <\/li><li>a severe understaffed problem due to health issues, and so on. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And there\u2019s only one way for you to learn what really happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Call_your_movers\">Step 3. Call your movers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, regardless of the reasons behind your movers\u2019 lateness, the final outcome remains unchanged \u2013 you are left stranded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, don\u2019t hesitate to pick up the phone and call your moving company\u2019s office. If you don\u2019t have the phone number at hand, check your moving contract (aka Bill of lading), visit the moving company\u2019s website, or just Google your movers to find their contact information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give them a call and do your best to get some specific answers without letting them take you for a ride &#8211; demand to know what is going on and when exactly you can expect the moving team to arrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of their late arrival, receiving confirmation from the office that the moving crew will make it to your home is good news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Be_ready_for_bad_news\">Step 4. Be ready for bad news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The bad news would be to find it impossible to reach your moving company on the phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that turns out to be the case, try to first find an alternative phone number online (a cell phone number rather than an office number) where you can hopefully find the elusive answer to your relocation mystery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case all your communication attempts fail, then you are left with only one choice \u2013 to find a replacement moving company to get you out of this difficult situation and find it more quickly than a bolt of lightning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, something has gone terribly wrong and your movers are not coming after all.

Your movers are honest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You shouldn\u2019t worry too much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just contact their head office (you should have the phone number clearly written on your moving contract or if it\u2019s missing there, visit the company\u2019s website to acquire it) and ask them what is going on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will be a valid reason for the delay, in which case you just have to confirm the new estimated time of arrival (ETA). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, waiting can be tough but at least you\u2019ll know that things will be alright in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Scenario__Your_movers_are_dishonest\">Scenario 2. Your movers are dishonest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should probably start worrying a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve done your homework right, then the chances of you hiring the services of a so-called rogue mover are practically zero. And yet, bad luck just tends to float in the air and you may have been the \u201clucky one\u201d to get its bitter taste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, dishonest movers do exist and if you were unfortunate enough to have accepted a suspiciously low moving estimate or to have paid an uncustomary large deposit, then you may be in a peck of trouble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, rogue movers will hold their customers\u2019 household items hostage until a ransom is paid for their release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, all of this is illegal, and if you can\u2019t get in touch with your moving company or if you do hear from them with some bad news, then don\u2019t hesitate to first call the police and then file a complaint against your movers by visiting the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.protectyourmove.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a> or reach the FMCSA at 1-888-DOT-SAFT (1-888- 368-7238) Monday \u2013 Friday 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How_To_Protect_Yourself_Against_Moving_Fraud\">How to protect yourself against moving fraud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-aspectratio=\"450\/300\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/house.jpg\" alt=\"Moving crew is late\" class=\"wp-image-41640 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/house.jpg 450w, https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/house-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>Bad luck could knock you down for a moment or two but it\u2019s up to you to get back on your feet swiftly and prove that the fight is far from over.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, you\u2019ll be reading this article before you have selected a <strong><a href=\"\/moving-companies.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reliable and trustworthy mover<\/a><\/strong> for your relocation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even if you have already had your unfortunate incident, it\u2019s good to know what you can do to make sure you are never again pressed against the wall, wondering what to do when your movers are late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the safety steps you must take to avoid a moving scam altogether. First and most importantly, you should research your movers well before deciding to hire their services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The moving company you end up choosing for your move should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Be well-balanced<\/strong>. Trustworthy movers offer reasonably priced quality moving services, and their written moving estimates and their tariffs should be clear and unambiguous. If you happen to get a very low offer (compared to the other moving quotes you have received) is almost always a telltale sign that something is not right, so resist the urge to opt for the lowest bidder.<\/li><li><strong>Be properly licensed.<\/strong> Legitimate movers and brokers are always registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Make sure you check the movers\u2019 licensing information here, or call FMCSA at (202) 366-9805 for licensing and (866) 637-0635 for insurance information.<\/li><li><strong>Have a good online reputation.<\/strong> Read moving reviews, customer testimonials, and ratings before making up your mind. As a general rule, you should avoid moving companies that have mostly negative feedback. You can access one of the largest databases of user-generated moving reviews on the web: <strong><a href=\"\/\">MyMovingReviews.com<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Be insured<\/strong>. Reputable movers are always properly insured. Be sure to ask the moving companies what insurance options they offer regarding your upcoming move.<\/li><li><strong>Look and sound trustworthy<\/strong>. Reputable movers should have a decent website where you can easily find additional information about their services, their appropriate licensing and insurance information as well as their contact details. Make sure the movers have a valid landline \u2013 dealing with a mover strictly by cell phone is a bad idea and should be avoided if possible.<\/li><li><strong>Not look suspicious in any way<\/strong>. There are a number of red flags to show you that something is not right with a certain mover and to help you keep your distance. Say \u201cNo!\u201d to a moving company that answers its phone with \u201cMovers\u201d instead of its actual company name, demands a cash-only payment (legitimate companies should offer a variety of payment options) or a large deposit before the move (the usual one is 10% to 20% of the final sum), refuses to offer you full value protection for your valuable goods, refuses to supply you with a copy of the booklet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmcsa.dot.gov\/sites\/fmcsa.dot.gov\/files\/2023-10\/FMCSA_R%26R_Handbook_Web_v1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move<\/em><\/a> when moving to another state or makes you sign blank or incomplete documents before or on moving day.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, check out our comprehensive guide below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/protect-yourself-from-moving-fraud\/\">Moving Fraud Prevention Guide: Protect Your Move<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Highlights Your movers are getting late.
