What is the process for handling disputes and claims with moving companies in Oregon?If a dispute arises, first attempt to resolve it directly with the moving company. If that fails, you can file a complaint with the Oregon Department of Transportation using the Household Goods Complaint Form for intrastate moves, or with the FMCSA for interstate moves. You might also consider mediation or small claims court for resolution.

What is the difference between a binding and a non-binding estimate from a moving company in Oregon?In Oregon, a binding estimate guarantees the total cost of the move based on the quantities and services outlined before the move.

Oregon regulations require that any change in the estimate be justified by changes in the scope of the service.

Also, review their ratings and customer feedback on platforms like Google and Yelp.
