Moving Company Dubai

Moving Company Dubai: Following our story on a moving company that charged a man double what they originally quoted him for a cross-country move, KT News is examining your rights when it comes to choosing a mover.

UAE County Consumer Fraud Attorney Jason Roach says the key is to document everything, and do your research before you spend your money.

“You need to be very careful with who you are dealing with, who are you looking at,” says Roach.

Any moving company Dubai performing interstate moves has to be registered with the U.A.E. Department of Transportation. You can run a search by clicking here.

If they’re not registered, that’s a major red flag.

“Make sure you know what you have is in writing, you pay with a credit card, and there’s a fixed fee,” adds Roach.

You also have the right to request:

1. Complete written estimates;

2. An Order of service confirming all of the services you requested;

3. A “Bill of Lading” contract with terms and conditions; and

4. A Shipment Inventory to record the condition of every item that was moved.

Be aware that your items could be damaged as the movers travel with them. Full Replacement Value Protection is the best level of protection your could request from your moving company, but it could drive up the price of your move.
