A lot of criticism about movers has to do with how claims are handled. Moving companies require considerable documentation before paying a claim. Do you know why? It’s because so many people file bogus claims.
Many people don't know, but the (US) military pays for professional movers of this caliber. I used to know a guy who would ship 10 busted tv's (cathode ray tube) and put in claims for all of them every time he changed duty stations. It was an easy $2000 check each time. Apparently the movers can't turn on electronics before or after a move due to the potential for condensation to damage the electronics. This was a while ago, so I don't know if this is actually true or not.
