Payment is the part of hiring a mover where the ordinary customer has least experience and the dishonest operator has most. Knowing what normal looks like removes nearly all of the risk.

Deposits
A modest deposit to hold a date is a normal commercial arrangement, particularly in a busy period. A large one is not.
If a company wants a substantial proportion of the total before any work has been done, that is worth questioning. The industry norm is that the bulk is paid at or after the work, not before it.
Ask whether the deposit is refundable, and by when. Get the answer in writing rather than as a verbal reassurance.
Method matters more than amount
Pay by a method that leaves a record and gives you some recourse. A card is the strongest position, and a cheque or bank transfer to a named business account is reasonable.
Be cautious about large cash payments, which leave you nothing.
And to be completely plain: gift cards, prepaid cards, wire transfers to an individual, and payment apps sending to a personal account are never legitimate ways to pay a moving company. There is no honest business reason for any of them, and a request for one is the clearest warning sign in this trade.
When payment is due
On a local hourly job, normally at completion, once the work is done and you have looked at it.
On a long-distance move, payment is commonly required at or before delivery, which is standard rather than sinister. What is not standard is a demand for more than the agreed figure before your goods will be unloaded. If that happens on a binding quote, it is worth stopping and getting the paperwork out.
Practical protections
Have the price basis in writing before the day. Ask what would change it. Do not pay for work that has not happened.
Get a receipt, itemised, showing what was charged and on what basis.
Inspect before you sign the delivery paperwork, and note any damage on it at that point.
If something goes wrong
Raise it immediately and in writing. Claim deadlines are short and the position weakens as time passes.
Our estimate is free and in writing, and we will tell you plainly what is due and when before you commit to anything.
