It's no easy job discerning the good from the bad moving companies, in fact it's extremely difficult. The problem is that we're dealing with two worlds: on the one hand there is the real concrete world of moving companies with their offices down the high street and the other world is the virtual one of online moving companies. When you walk into an office and wheel and deal over prices and terms with the company employees facing you, you are in a recognizable environment, but when you decide to access moving companies over the Web you are dealing with unrecognizable entities. Both spheres have their advantages and disadvantages. For example it's not easy to turn down the offers made by persuasive representatives of actual moving companies in an actual office, even though you are not feeling too good about it. On the other hand it's dead easy to reject a firm on the Internet, for that's – how should we put it – inhuman. There is only one actual method of discerning between reputable
and inferior companies prior to the actual moving and that is by receiving first hand recommendations. Undoubtedly this is not easy but if you intend to contract an actual firm in the real world you are in your rights to demand addresses of these people.
