Why Larger Moving Companies Take Credit Card Payments.

Why Are Companies Moving Away From Credit Cards?

For some relocation brands, accepting CC for payment is a risk and a hassle. Given the nature of shipping, there is always a chance that a potential mishap may occur. As a result, consumers who use credit cards for payment tend to dispute the entire transaction. This is a risk that smaller long-distance moving companies often prefer not to take.

In some cases, it's normal for movers to avoid CC for payment. But at times you may be dealing with a shady mover. The content below this photo will tell you what you need to know:

Here's a further explanation of why some movers may not want to accept credit cards for payment:

Going Negative.

Your long distance moving costs are not all company profit. A significant portion of your charges will be allocated to fuel, materials, labor, and tolls. If a customer decides to dispute a transaction for any reason, the moving company can potentially lose the dispute. If the mover you hired is a small brand or an independent carrier, he might not have the time or resources to dispute your chargeback. Even if they did—fighting a chargeback is a hassle many movers prefer to avoid.

---

Increased Estimate.

Some estimate increases are legitimate—while others may be deceptive; either way, a consumer is naturally upset when their costs change. This makes a consumer more likely to dispute the charges, something many business owners prefer to avoid.

---

No Merchant Processor.

Some fly-by-night moving companies don't even have a merchant processor. A merchant processor is a credit card terminal that enables a business to accept credit and debit cards. Surprisingly, some relocation brands don't have this. So, they won't be able to take your credit card for payment, even if they want to.

---

Deceptive Business Practices.

If you hired a poorly rated moving company that has a history of delivery delays, billing disputes, and damaged furniture, they are likely not to take your credit card. This is because they know the level of moving services they provide is subpar and will likely result in a chargeback that they will lose.
