Household Goods Moving Associations

Posted by David Piotrowski

People often ask what organizations represent the household goods moving and storage industry. There are many state and local organizations that movers can belong to. For example, California has the California Moving and Storage Association. On a federal level, many movers belong to the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA). This organization is discussed in further detail in an earlier blog post on AMSA. An organization representing the household goods industry on a nationwide and global scale is the Household Goods Forwarders Association of America (HHGFAA). The HHGFAA is discussed in an earlier blog post here.

The Household Goods Forwarders Association of America (HHGFAA) is a global association of forwarders and movers committed to providing customers with the highest level of service available. Their membership includes 1,800 companies from more than 160 countries and territories.

I have embedded a 5 minute video that discusses the HHGFAA and what it does and how it provides a valuable service to the houshold goods transportation industry.



The HHGFAA has something to offer to all household goods shipping companies, regardless of the size of the company. From someone who has attended their annual conference for several years, I can tell you the turnout at these conventions is truly remarkable and every moving company should treat the convention as an asset and as a way to network and meet with your peers in the industry.

I recommend that household goods companies of any size explore the idea of becoming a member of the HHGFAA.
