Paying an advance to confirm a booking is normal, but it is also where moving scams happen. Knowing what is reasonable keeps your money and your move safe.
How much advance is normal?
A modest advance to confirm the booking is standard, with the balance paid on delivery or as agreed. Be cautious if a company demands a large upfront payment before doing anything.
Red flags to avoid
- Pressure to pay a big advance to a personal account.
- No written quotation or proper receipt.
- No GST registration or office address.
- A quote that seems far too cheap to be real.
Pay safely
- Pay to the company's official account or verified UPI, not a random personal number.
- Always get a receipt for any advance.
- Keep your written quotation and booking confirmation.
Verify before you pay
Confirm the company's GST and address, read genuine reviews, and call the office number directly. A registered mover is transparent about payments.
