USMPOUnited States Moving Protection(USMPO) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, created as a preventative resource to protect consumers against moving scams, independent from the DOT/FMCSA

Collaborating For Safety

The U.S. Moving Protection Organization (USMPO) is dedicated to improving transparency, consumer protection, and fair competition within the household goods moving industry. One of the major challenges facing legitimate moving companies is the growing number of rogue operators who use lowball estimates and deceptive tactics to attract customers. These unethical practices create an unfair competitive environment, making it harder for companies committed to transparent pricing and ethical business practices to secure new customers.

We invite you to join USMPO's Register Your Move initiative, a proactive solution designed to address these challenges by educating consumers and eliminate fraudulent competitive quotes from rogue movers. By participating, your company can boost conversions, eliminate fraudulent estimates, and contribute to an overall safer industry.

Problem

Unfair Competition Using Deceptive Practices & Bait-and-Switch Estimates

The moving industry has been plagued by rogue movers who lure unsuspecting customers with unrealistically low estimates. As a result, ethical movers face a significant challenge in competing on price alone, as consumers are often drawn to the lowest bid without understanding the true cost or risks involved.

This not only confuses potential customers, but also decreases conversions and increases lead generation costs for legitimate movers who have to work harder to win over customers in an unfair environment. The challenge is clear: legitimate movers are forced to compete with rogue operators who use deceptive tactics and pricing.

Solution

USMPO's Register Your Move Initiative

USMPO's Register Your Move initiative directly addresses the challenge of unfair competition by educating consumers before they engage with moving companies. Through this program, consumers are informed about the risks of fraudulent movers and are encouraged to choose USMPO-verified carriers that meet strict standards of transparency and ethical pricing.

By registering their move through USMPO, consumers receive guidance on what to look for in a mover, how to verify estimates, and how to avoid common scams. This levels the playing field by directing informed consumers toward verified carriers who operate with integrity.
