Quantcast
"You Load/We Drive" moves are usually much less expensive than full-service moves. You control your moving costs by loading your items yourself within the space you reserve. Charges are based on space used and distance traveled; weight is not considered. Because you load your own shipment, you are primarily responsible if scratches, dents, and breakage occur, although your shipment is covered for damage caused by company negligence or catastrophes.
Full service moving companies do the loading, driving, and unloading for you and also pack your items if desired. However, these moves are usually much more expensive than self-moves. Charges are based on the weight of the shipment and distance traveled. Items are covered for damage caused by company negligence or catastrophes and you can also buy enhanced valuation coverage for scratches, dents, and breakage from the company.
Auto transport companies These auto transporters own their own trucks and have their own drivers. They are not brokers that would shop your move to the lowest bidder and keep you waiting until someone agrees to move your car. If you ship your car with them, you can talk to the driver so you will always know where your car is. They are not cut-rate operators, but reviews show that they have performed very well for customers at reasonable cost.
Auto transport brokers do not own their own trucks. They book your car with the actual carrier and charge a small fee (typically $150-$200) to do so. A good broker with many contacts can be very helpful. However, choose one like ProStar that works with high-quality carriers and will not just place your car with the lowest bidder. The broker should also stay on top of your move so you know where your car is and when it will be delivered.
International moving companies arrange for your goods to be seen and measured, packaged, moved to port or airport, transported internationally, and delivered. For safety, be sure that any company you contract with is licensed by the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC).
MovingScam-Approved Companies There are many good moving companies besides the few companies that are formally endorsed by MovingScam. The following companies are properly licensed and insured. They have numerous excellent, believable reviews and few or no complaints, showing that they are committed to providing high-quality moves. They have each assigned a person to help MovingScam customers with any problems that may arise.  
 
In view of this, MovingScam has given these companies its seal of approval. This seal of approval is a step below formal endorsement only because, as van line agents, they are not able to control every move from start to finish, although they are able to control moves that they do using their own trucks and drivers. Especially for the latter type of move, MovingScam.com recommends these companies with confidence.

Champions Movers has one truck, and has only been licensed since June. That's a too-small, too-new company to use for a coast-to-coast trip.

We serve such states as California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Florida, Massachusetts, and Texas as well as everything in between. We make cross-continental trips on a weekly basis.

The first sentence I can believe, but if they truly make cross-country trips on a weekly basis, then their truck is NEVER home to make money lcoally. What kind of a business plan is this? This cannot be true.

Or maybe they only make cross-country trips because they do not have a Cal-T license to perorm moves within the state of CA. They CAN'T operate locally! I can't find them under either Champions or Kadesh. If someone finds them, please post the number here. Their website does not list the CA number, only DOT/MC.

Their address of 47000 Warm Springs Blvd. Suite 260 Freemont, CA 94539
is a postal mailbox. The other address listed is 453 QUEENS LANE in San Jose.

My point is that, in my opinion, they are not worth your move. Please keep looking!

Ashley - DO NOT USE this company or you will be scammed!

If cost is a concern, please consider using an ABF ReloCube that holds up to 2000 pounds. You can get a quote from www.upack.com and see many rave reviews here on our ABF U-Pack review thread.

455/453 Queens Lane is a large warehouse. They're just next-door to each other.

I just posting this information to all the pepole that getting a quotes from "champions movers".
my name is Ashely and i also recived a quote from "Champions Movers" and its look very attractive- however i find out that this company and "ASAP RELOCATIONS" is the same company, ASAP (blacklisted here-IN THE TOP 20).

After researching these two i find similarities in the owner of the company:
Maoz Kadesh from "champions movers" and mike kadesh from "a.s.a.p relocations " is the same person!!
They just change the name of the company!!!!!!!!so watch out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also i want to send many thanks to MusicMom and Diane which saved me from this SCAM,

Thanks again for the fast response,(i choose to go with Allied) Wink

You got it, Ashley! I hadn't caught that Maoz is Mike. There are so many scammers and their aliases to keep track of, my memory can't hold them all anymore. I will update the Blacklist with this new alias.

[I haven't added Champions to the Blacklist because Ashley has not provided conclusive evidence that the Maoz/Mike is involved with both companies, right now it's all suppositions and one person's word]

Bingo! Thanks for confirming our suspicions, Ashely! They can run, but they can't hide!

Wait, I need some help. Ashley, can you post the link where you found Mike Kadesh with ASAP Relocations? Maybe my brain is befuddled by the blizzard we just had, but I'm only seeing Roni Hayan. I need to be able to prove it. Thanks!

[still waiting on proof from Ashley- without it, we can't conclusively link ASAP and Champions]
