People's Theory: When can the moving industry have a "tight curse"

Source: People's Daily - Opinion Channel Original draft

After moving, sit on the ground to ask for prices, charge fees, physical harassment... These chaos in the moving market not only disrupts the normal market order, but also makes consumers suffer. How to curb such behavior, make the moving industry clean and upright, let the law-abiding enterprises develop better, and let the illegal enterprises have nowhere to stand, is an urgent problem to be solved.

All along, the threshold for moving companies to work is low, the billing standards are not uniform, the market price is chaotic, and there is a lack of relevant industry standards. The price of each moving company is different, and the amount depends on the moving company itself. At the same time, China's laws and regulations on the moving company industry are not perfect, and the supervision is relatively lacking, resulting in the long-term ineffectiveness of the chaos in the moving industry.

In addition, most consumers choose to move companies, relying on Internet search engines. Moving companies rely on the bidding ranking of information websites and choose "hegemonic screen" to attract customers. In fact, bidding rankings also allow a large number of websites that contain or imply fraudulent behavior to participate in bidding, providing a breeding ground for the barbaric growth of cottage moving companies. The cottage moving company first attracts consumers by "rubbing famous brands" and "fake brand names", and then induces consumers to be deceived by the trap of "concealment, deception, pit and blackmail". In this process, search engines and some technology companies are difficult to escape the suspicion of "accomplices". All kinds of reasons are superimposed, and in the long run, it will be "bad money expelling good money", and ultimately damage the healthy development of the moving industry.

In the process of moving, when encountering "soft violence", sitting on the starting price of the land, etc., many consumers choose to be patient because the other party has the home address and is afraid of retaliation after the move company, often "spending money to buy lessons" to calm people; some consumers who protect their rights need to spend a lot of energy and time, often more than they lose. The root cause is that the moving industry does not give consumers enough safeguards and rights protection agencies.

People's livelihood is no small matter. How to regulate the moving industry and ensure the rights and interests of consumers? This is an unavoidable real problem. Only by using strong supervision and heavy punishment can we cure stubborn diseases such as the moving industry sitting on the starting price of the land; only by plugging loopholes, using laws and regulations to restrain moving companies, and clearly standardizing their business behavior and management behaviors can the protection of consumer rights and interests be realized; only by strictly deterring them and putting on a "tight curse" to prevent problems before they occur can the moving industry enter a healthy and orderly stage of development, and the market environment will be improved; only by rectifying one "small stubborn disease" can it benefit the "big people's livelihood".

To make the moving industry clean and healthy, it is beyond the reach of one party, and it requires cooperation in all aspects. Only when all parties work together to build a good industry environment can we make the lives of ordinary people better and avoid the pain of "sky-high moving fees" when moving companies are needed.
