“Because anyone with a truck and a website can claim to be a mover, our industry is plagued by con artists who don’t adhere to standards for honesty and ethical conduct…”
This sad-but-true statement from American Moving and Storage Association president, Linda Bauer Darr, is a harsh reality about which your Denver area movers educate would-be victims of rogue movers on a daily basis. What is a “rogue mover”? If you have ever moved and have no clue what a rogue mover is, you are very fortunate! A rogue mover is a relocation service provider that operates dishonestly and at the expense of its customers. Disreputable movers often quote a low attractive price for a move over the phone, only to refuse to unload their moving truck at a customer’s destination until they pay a price much higher than what was originally estimated. With your furniture literally held hostage, you have little choice other than paying the inflated price that the dishonest mover demands simply because you didn’t do your research before hiring the company. Professional moving companies try their best to inform people who are planning to move of the difference between the two types of relocation service providers, but we cannot reach everybody. If you have not yet moved, you can easily avoid a moving day disaster by simply researching a mover before you hire. Organizations such as the Better Business Bureau and AMSA are devoted to protecting consumers from encounters with rogue movers. Don’t become a statistic!
Your Connecticut local movers here have seen many interesting and unusual things over the years moving people in Connecticut and beyond. But a recent finding has made it obvious to your Connecticut mover that we haven’t seen it all. The proud owners of a rather extravagant home in Manhattan are one of a very few who have the luxury of a full blown swimming pool in their own living room! Your mover here imagines that the occupants of the stunning house are huge fans of swimming and get to enjoy an indulgent swim or lounge by the pool all year round! It is no surprise that this is the first living room pool that your Connecticut movers here have seen, it is not very logical to assume that any home-owners with a pool and a television in the same room would have any desire to relocate to another home! Living room pools… What will the come up with next!?
The Corpus Christi Police have recently acquired some high-quality video production equipment, and the intended results are presumed to benefit both the department and Corpus Christi locals alike! Corpus Christi PD, using seized drug money, has purchased video equipment which they are currently using to film and edit both training videos and demonstration videos. Training videos will provide a standardized curriculum for new officer education, and will also enable officers who would otherwise be on the job training new cadets to be on the job serving and protecting Corpus Christi.
Your Corpus Christi movers are excited about the new police video projects and about what they will do for the local area! It would be a lot of fun for your movers in Corpus Christi here to produce more videos both for training and for peace of mind for views who are nervous about upcoming moves in Corpus Christi.
Moving with pets can be a hassle, and moving with fish is even trickier. To move with fish locally is not too difficult, but sometimes fish owners have to handle to daunting task of moving long distance. Yikes! You can consider selling your fish prior to moving and acquiring new fish upon setting up the tank at your new home after your moving day, but sometimes fish owners develop an attachment to their fish which makes replacing the prized swimmers not an option. Moving long distance is stressful, but not near as stressful on you as it is on your fish. It is extremely important to adequately prepare for moving your fish for their safety. Be sure to consult your local aquarium for advice well in advance of your move so that your gorgeous fish can continue to add beauty to your home after you move to your new house.
If you have a sharp eye on the stock market, you may have noticed a surprising increase in JC Penney’s stocks (JCP) to the tune of five dollars per share! The previously flat-lining company has a bright future ahead of them which they are moving to quickly thanks to the addition of Ron Johnson; JC Penney’s new highly regarded CEO. You may never have heard of Ron Johnson, but you have surely become very familiar with his many successful works. Johnson is the man responsible for transforming Target stores’ image into what they are now. More notably, he is the man behind the undeniably huge success of Apple’s one-of-a-kind in-store aesthetic. JC Penney is a project which Ron felt confident enough about to leave Apple so, moving forward, the famous department store is without question looking forward to great things! Your movers in Charlotte here are expecting many requests for assistance in moving newly-purchased JC Penney’s appliances and furniture to the homes of our mutual customers in the very near future!
If you have just moved to the Chicago area, once you are mostly settled in to your new home you may want to do some sight-seeing around town. Taking a stroll through Downtown Chicago, you may be startled by first glance of the giant steel bean that serves as the unsurpassed focal point of Millennium Park’s AT&T Plaza. Entitled “Cloud Gate” and resembling a gigantic moving glob of mercury, the impressive work of art by Anish Kapoor is a gawk-worthy land mark which is truly unforgettable. There is quite a bit of extraordinary architecture in Chicago, moving to Chicago’s downtown area would be quite the treat for your senses!

Your Baton Rouge professional movers here want to remind everybody that it is Flag Day today. Many of our moving trucks proudly display an American Flag decal all year round! Your Louisiana relocation experts here are rather patriotic, and hope that you’ll fly a flag or display it somehow to commemorate the holiday! If you happened to pick today as your moving day, your moving pros here with the Star Spangled Banner on the sides of our moving truck couldn’t be more appropriate of a transportation provider for your household items considering that it is Flag Day.

The term “throwback” has been used quite a bit lately. It seems to be a hip concept that has been thrown around a lot and also utilized as a marketing ploy; the throwback technique aims to garner new business by using nostalgia to sell people on how great a product is. If you watch television on a regular basis, surely you have noticed TV commercials here and there that seem to have been produced fifteen or twenty years ago. Vintage style logos from yesteryear have graced cans of popular soft drinks, and even professional sports team jerseys to move the audiences that view them nation wide; and the throwback technique has definitely worked. The nostalgia concept in advertising has been used by more companies than you would believe recently, and it works so well likely because of how great things were years ago.
I must admit that the throwback ads are fun to watch, but this mover in Atlanta here feels that the throwback campaign shouldn’t stop at logos. For us, the same classic qualities that have always run deep in this Atlanta moving company have and will never change; old fashioned care will always be prominent characteristic of the relocation services in Atlanta we provide. So while the “throwback” memories and logos may be around only for a limited time in many cases, you can always count on your Georgia movers in Atlanta here to provide the same good ole’ throwback treatment that we always have; and that goes beyond the classic logo!
One of the tastiest trends in Austin is the ever-versatile food trailer. If you are familiar with Austin, surely you have noticed the countless restaurants-on-wheels that swarm the area and provide delicious –and affordable– meals for all. What a brilliant business plan! A restaurant in a trailer can move to new locations effortlessly, and with low overhead cost can provide delicious meals at a low price to customers that will undoubtedly return again and again. Affordability is one of Austin’s most attractive perks. As many Austin residents are the starving-artist type, the low cost of living –and of just about everything– is an obvious advantage that beckons many to move to the capital city. The ample food trucks are a great first taste to experience, but won’t likely be the last of what you love about Austin!
