The Risks of Hiring Bad Movers

Hiring the wrong moving company can cost you more than just money—it can cost you your peace of mind. At The Pick Up Guys, we’ve seen too many customers come to us with horror stories from bad moving experiences. Here’s why choosing the right movers matters:

1. Damaged or Lost Items

Untrained or careless movers often lack proper packing techniques and handling skills. This can lead to broken furniture, scratched floors, or even missing boxes. Once your valuables are gone or ruined, there’s no turning back.

2. Hidden Fees

Shady companies may offer a low price upfront, only to surprise you with extra charges later. You might be billed for stairs, long walks, heavy items, or even time spent stuck in traffic—things reputable movers clearly explain from the start.

3. Late or No-Show Movers

Unprofessional movers may show up hours late—or not at all—leaving you stressed and scrambling on an already busy day. Reliable timing is crucial when you’re planning a move.

4. Inexperienced Labor

Some companies cut corners by hiring untrained, uninsured workers. This increases the risk of accidents, injuries, and property damage—often with no insurance coverage to protect you.

5. Scams and Hostage Situations

Yes, it happens. There are moving scams where dishonest movers hold your belongings hostage until you pay more money. Protect yourself by hiring licensed, insured, and well-reviewed professionals.


Don’t gamble with your move. At The Pick Up Guys, we’re committed to transparent pricing, safe handling, and punctual service. Your move should be smooth—not stressful.
