There are hundreds of movers in Colorado but selecting the right mover can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. 123Movers works with qualified movers that are registered with the Transportation Section of the Public Utilities Commission (PUC).

PUC is responsible for investigating illegal operations, collecting safety related records, and validating inspection.

The PUC also educates consumers on the right way to move. Here are some tips:

• Find a respectable moving company. Contact the Better Business Bureau of Colorado (303-758-2100) for complaint history and more.
• Check to determine whether the mover is registered with the Public Utilities Commissionand has proper insurance. To obtain this information, call 303-894-2000 (Denver metro area) or 1-800-456-0858 (outside Denver metro area).
• Collect written estimates from multiple movers and compare costs. Be suspicious of movers offering estimates that are significantly lower than the rest.
• Beware of estimates provided only over the phone. Most movers will need to see your goods in order to make an accurate estimate of moving costs.
• Do not sign blank or incomplete documents. Get everything in writing, including signed estimates including additional services.
• Find out what the mover’s responsibilities are for damages that may occur to your belongings.
• Know which company is actually providing the move. Some companies that advertise moving services are simply brokers that do not move goods. Obtain information about how to contact the mover before, during and after the move.
• Be present when movers arrive at your house and stay until they are finished.
