An Honest Mover!
March 8, 2010 by admin
Filed under Moving News
You know I love it when I am looking at other movers and I find a completely honest mover. Believe it or not, this is sometimes a rarity. But, today in looking through Craigslist I found a co0mpletely honest mover…
Okay, actually he is not a mover but a moving laborer (he does say he works for a moving company.) Still, it is refreshing to see this on Craigslist. While there are many movers that advertise there that are honest the number that are dishonest far exceeds our small click.
Anyway, here is Bill’s ad that he posted in the Battle Creek Craigslist:
Are you looking to move. Let me Help you with that. Loading / Unloading / Packing I can handle it
PACKING SERVICES…….WHAT A PAIN….. LET ME DO THE PACKING FOR YOU……… I DO NOT UNPACK THOUGH
I currently work for a moving company which I can not disclose on here but I definately [sic] know what im doing
YOU SUPPLY THE U-HAUL AND I WILL TAKE CARE OF THE HARD PART
I am willing to drive the truck for you but i will not be renting them for you
Maybe you only have a couple of items and maybe its a whole house. Either way is fine.My Rates:
$75.00 per hour with a 2 hour minimum
$25.00 traveling and fuel charge
EMAIL TODAY
I am uninsured so i cant offer coverage on the items but i will do everything in my power to keep you and your articles safe and happy.
SEND ME AN EMAIL OF WHAT YOU NEED MOVED AND I WILL EMAIL YOU A QUOTE BACK
TO MUCH TO LIST….. I OFFER FREE ON-SITE SERVICES- JUST SHOOT ME AN EMAIL — MY NAME IS BILL
I can forgive the grammatical errors for the fact of his complete honesty.
I do think his rates are a bit high for just a laborer, but heck, if he gets the business then more power to him. I love the fact that he comes right out and tells you that he is NOT insured. Some many would have not done this.
Although he refuses to tell what moving company he works with I would hazard a guess to say it is Greater Michigan Movers as they are the only one is Battle Creek. (If I am right Bill I promise I won’t tell Mike.)
Just thought I would write and talk about this.

Learn How A 40/yr Old Out-Of-Work Man Created A Successful Moving Business Starting With No Cash, No Equipement, No Trucks And No Luck And Turned It Into The Fastest Growing Moving Business In Michigan Using Only His Skills With Internet Marketing In Only 8 Months!
I know it sounds like one of those cliche internet marketing get-rich-quick schemes…But, truth of the matter, it is all true! Every last word.
Just want to thank Jae Burnham for his help. He shared some great insight and gave outstanding advice and direction for my website. Look for some changes to it soon. Jim Mahan
I guess I should introduce myself: I am Jae Burnham, and yes I created the fastest growing moving business in Michigan starting from scratch…I did it only in 8 months.
When I say I had nothing; I mean it…I had nothing. I am a 40yr old man that had been recently unemployed ( and I was living with my 70yr old father…yikes!). I had no phone, no computer…nothing. Yet I created a highly successful moving business
So, how did I do that? Great question. I used online marketing to accomplish it.
You see the internet is a powerful tool if you know how to use it. There are so many tools and do-dads that you can create tons of traffic to your business if you just knew how to utilize it. And I did. Of course I learned even more as time went on and I got better and better at driving in traffic to me; traffic that hired me to do their moving for them.

Are You Designed To Move? A Moving Company Review
February 22, 2010 by admin
Filed under Moving Company Reviews
Can you trust Design To Move?
Company: Designed To Move
Grade: A+
City: St Clair Shores/Detroit/Port Huron
I first learned of Design To Move from James Height when he wrote to me on FaceBook. Apparently he liked my website and the fact that I exposed the moving scammers that prey on unsuspecting customers. he wrote:
James Height hey just wanted to say I love your web site! calling out the scammers on craigslist is what needs to happen. Its hard for legal movers like us to get ahead with people like that out there. Check out my page its Designed To Move MI and become a fan if you want. if I get any moves in your area I cant fit in I will send them your way.
So I thought that I would review his company. Seems fair doesn’t it?
So let me say this. I LOVE THIS COMPANY!
What a professional moving company. I know that Designed TO Move and James have more than just a Craigslist presence as James, as I said, found me via FaceBook. As a matter of fact I have never seen Designed To Move even advertise on Craigslist. So that is a step up from the rabble and the moving scams. I don’t know if they are also on Twitter but they may be. It would seem logical.
This company is licensed and insured. I have verified this with the government website. So you can rest easy in knowing that would be taken care of in that regard. They are also part of the Michigan Movers Association which has stringent requirements to be a member. So this is another plus-point.

Bekins Van Lines: Bekins Moving Company Review
February 21, 2010 by admin
Filed under Moving Company Reviews
Company: Bekins Van Lines
Grade: F
City: Nationwide
More often than not the perpetrators of moving scams are licensed and insured moving companies, and the majority of those come from the national vanliners. It is unfortunate but true.
I did an informal study a while back where I investigated the complaints of moving scams that were on the internet. I took these reports and looked into the moving companies that were said to have committed these scams, what I found shocked me! I found that almost 80% of the moving scam complaints were not committed by unlicensed and uninsured moving companies but licensed and insured ones…scary huh? Of those, I found that 75% were committed by nationwide vanliners…And Bekins Van Lines was at the top of the list.
Bekins Van Lines or Bekins Moving Company is a national van liners with offices (or hubs) in every state. What these specialize in is moving people across the country. They have set up their operations similar to a franchise. A local moving company becomes and authorized agent for Bekins and they sell Bekins moving services in their state and/or region. Bekins can factually go all over the world to move you. This not a bad business model.
However, Bekins is the worst company out there and should be avoided.
IN going online and googling Bekins I found that not one of the consumer rating websites rate Bekins very high. While Bekins do have their fans and fair share of positive ratings they have far more negative ratings.
J.D. Powers and Associates, a leading consumer rating agency, rated Bekins as one of the worst companies several years in a row.
Many of Bekin’s authorized moving company agents have horrible ratings themselves, including bad BBB reports. The authorized agent for my state of Michigan that operates out of Fraser is a prime example. I personally know that they are being sued by one company for name infringement and yet sued another company for the very same thing. Talk about “talking out of both sides of your mouth.” And I personally know that they spend THOUSANDS to make sure that they have a good BBB report. Yet the BBB freely admits that they have the highest amount of complaints of any moving company in Michigan and far above the normal for a company of their volume…so what does that say?
So in my opinion I would never use Bekins Moving Company…instead I would maybe Mayflower or Movex.
