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.

Never use Global Relocations they were/are a nightmare. They picked up my household goods on Sept 22, 2011 and i am still waiting for my cargo!

I paid them in full about $8000. for door to door delivery for 600 cu ft in a 20' foot container. and now i am being charge about another $2000. plus custom fees and THC.

1. on the pick up date they arrive in a truck and they didn't have room for all my items
2. they took my cargo to long beach instead of Oakland where they said they would ship the cargo out from.
3. the cargo didn't ship out until two weeks later.
4. they sent the B/L to the wrong city and i have to pay for the mistake
5. the delay this caused has caused me to have to pay storage fees
6. my cargo was in the ARICA Port Customs for 30 days and i have to pay storage fees.
7. Global Relocations did not pay the Bolivian movers so the cargo stayed in Arica fo 30 days.
8. The bolivian movers Global Relocations hired are corrupt, uncooperative and will not give status reports.
9. i have to pay Capital Trade $500 and they won't tell me what for or why.
10 My cargo is being held hostage until i pay the additional charges.

This company has no authorization to be moving you ANYWHERE. They do not have an FMC license, at least not under that name, and the DOT number listed on their website shows they were put Out of Service by the DOT and no not have an interstate license. They've already violated the Out of Service order, since they were put OOS in July and there's a roadside inspection in Nevada (on an IL-plated truck) from September.

The address above is a house. The FMC will get him.

How did you find them, or did they find you?

1 - Contact the FMC right away. The contact info was in another thread you posted.

2 - The Bolivian mover should be able to supply a receipt showing what he paid - not a bill. If he laid out money, he has every right to hold cargo until he is re-imbursed, even if it is the fault of Global.

3 - If you feel the Bolivian company is lying, pay your bills, and pursue them locally (Court of law).

Do all of this as quickly as possible - the longer the goods sit, the more storage charges will be incurred.
