The American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA) launched a new consumer protection and certification program called ProMover on January 1, 2009. This initiative is designed to fight imposters, known within the industry as “rogue operators,” like never before by giving consumers an easy way to separate reputable, professional movers from con artists out to make a quick buck at their expense.

AMSA designated Valley Cottage, N.Y.-based Santi Express as a ProMover. Santi Express, a certified woman-owned business, provides quality residential and commercial moving services as well as climate-controlled storage and packing supplies. For more than 30 years, Santi Express has served the New York Metro area.

The new ProMover program takes the worry and the hassle out of moving by helping consumers identify quality professional movers who subscribe to AMSA’s goals and by providing them with information and assistance with everything from finding a mover, to getting an estimate and packing tips, to understanding valuation and insurance.
