What a company claims and what the truth is on the ground can be widely apart. This is why, on this board, we don't recommend companies that we haven't personally used. Third party is advertising or inadvertent advertising on behalf of the company. If you sent that guy to Shalom Movers and he got bad service, your reputation is mud because you, in theory, recommended them when in reality all you were doing is advertising for Shalom because you didn't have any first hand knowledge of the company other than seeing advertising on the sides of trucks.Lisafuller wrote: ↑Fri, 26 Nov 2021 1:28 amShalom movers is pretty reputable, I see their moving vans and boxes everywhere, my observation is that it’s one of the more popular moving companies in the country.
SMS, if you read my post carefully, you would see that I never passed a judgment on the quality of their services at all. I was very deliberate with my wording, I simply made an observation that this was one of the companies whose vans and boxes I see more frequently. Not once did I make any mention of the quality of their services, I just thought it would be nice to leave a suggestion and OP can go and do their own research if that’s what pleases them. Understand your point, but I don’t think I was guilty of third-party advertising at all.sundaymorningstaple wrote: ↑Fri, 26 Nov 2021 10:31 pmWhat a company claims and what the truth is on the ground can be widely apart.

If you want to list moving companies, with any comments, e.g., results of a Google search, etc. that's fine, but don't make judgements unless you have actually used them or know somebody who did use them, e.g., friend, colleague, etc.

I understand that, I never said they were good. I said they were reputable (because I have friends who have used them and had pleasant experiences), and that they were popular. Neither adjective is indicative of quality. If you have a better recommendation I’m sure OP would appreciate it.
No. My original post would be akin to seeing McD everywhere and inferring that it must be popular. Nowhere did I make any mention of it being the best.
