Complaint Resolution Index (CRI)

Complaint Resolution Index (CRI) Explained The Complaint Resolution Index (CRI) is an indicator on how responsive a company is in addressing and resolving customer complaints brought to their attention by BCA. If they are considering doing business with the company, consumers can use this indicator to forecast the likelihood of having their issues addressed if a problem arises. CRI measures the company's customer satisfaction abilities through BCA’s complaint mediation process.

A variety of factors are considered when calculating CRI. This includes how quickly a company responds to complaints, the number of complaints against a company, whether the company addressed complaint allegations, and the outcome of the complaints. CRI is just a subset of the overall rating for the company. Consumers are encouraged to take into consideration the company's CRI, their overall BCA letter rating and other relevant information about the company so they can make a well-informed purchasing decision.

BCA's Summary and Analysis:

Complainants allege the company fails to honor quotes, does not inform the customer of increase until their items are fully or partially loaded on the truck, do not provide weight certificates or conduct reweighs upon request, and the company holds items hostage demanding additional payment. Complainants also allege damages and missing items, failure to respond to calls and emails requesting delivery status or to discuss billing issues, unauthorized charges, and difficulty settling claims.

The company generally responds to complaints by stating additional charges were incurred because the customer had more items than initially stated or items weighed more than estimated, and customers are informed of additional charges at pickup. In additional, the company frequently refers customers to file claims for refunds, damages, and missing items. In some cases the company processed claims, issued partial credits or delivered missing items.

Licensing

Companies offering to move household goods within the state of California are required to register with the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC). For the most up-to-date information regarding licensing status, consumers may contact the PUC by visiting their website at http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUC/transportation/ or by calling (800) 877-8867.

For businesses outside of California, please check with the agency that regulates this industry.

For moves between states, movers are required to register and be licensed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). For the most up-to-date information regarding a license status, consumers may contact the FMCSA by calling (800) 832-5660 or by visiting their website at http://li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov/LIVIEW/pkg_carrquery.prc_carrlist

Comments and Analysis

We suggest that consumers insist on a written binding estimate in advance of the move. With a binding estimate, the actual moving costs may not exceed the estimate. Be certain that the estimate is very specific concerning the goods to be shipped. It is advisable to purchase additional valuation for lost or damaged goods since the statuatory liability is only .60 cents per pound. If you obtain a non-binding estimate and you are moving between states (interstate) and the final invoice exceeds the estimated amount, customers are required to pay only 10% over the original estimate when the goods are delivered, with a balance due in 30 days. You can file a complaint or verify licensing by writing to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration located at 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590, or calling (800) 832-5660 or visiting their website at www.safer.fmcsa.dot.gov.
