The Packed Rabbit
Is my moving quote a scam?
Paste the quote. In a second you'll see the hidden fees, the big deposit, money due before pickup, weak coverage and the signs of a broker, each with what to ask.
What it looks for
- Paperwork fees, like a "binding estimate fee"
- A deposit that's too big, and money due before your things are even loaded
- The weakest coverage already ticked for you
- No USDOT number, or signs you're dealing with a broker instead of a mover
- Pressure to book today, and a pickup window measured in days
