Ask a moving company how much will they pay for lost or damaged belongings and make sure you get a copy of this policy in writing.

Look for both complaints and follow-ups, since how the company handled the complaint is at least as important as the complaint itself. Also find out if the company is a member of the Better Business Bureau. How long a company has been in business is also a good indicator or reputation.
