Show Thursday, September 15, 1994 D Page C8 The Park Record D Section C 1 Moving is a much easier task for those who are properly informed 1 Very few people seem to know that interstate movers are now deregulated. That means that they, like airlines and other deregulated industries, can charge as little or as much as they want for their s services. A survey by Consumer Education Research Center, a national advocacy group founded in 1969, found that most people assumed that costs for moving from one state to another are regulated and determined by the federal government. When they were ready to relocate, they simply looked in the yellow pages, called the first name that seemed familiar, and paid whatever was asked. This could have cost them hundreds of extra dollars according to the Henry P. Constantino, a relocation specialist for one of the country's largest companies. Constantino has authored a book for the organization that should save consumers a considerable amount of money. The 208-page book, How to Save $$$ on Your moving Costs can be obtained by calling 1-800-872-0121 or by writing Consumer Center Moving, 350 Scotland Road, Orange, N.J. 07050. The book costs $4.95 plus $2 shipping. Constantino says knowledge is the key to a safe, economical and hassle-free relocation. He explains that regardless of the rates they have filed with the government, movers are allowed to give discounts and even bargain with customers who hold out for lower prices. Two people can ship the same amount of furniture to the same place and one pay hundreds of dollars more. In his book, he explains in detail the numerous things you should know before calling a moving company. The First Security ioiriri 1 ii tiityi Ti Tip CD Is On Un :ie Up And.
