ABOUT
LIMSA AND ITS MEMBERSHIP STANDARDS
LIMSA was organized in 1933
to build consumer confidence in the Long Island moving industry. While
descendants of some of the pioneer founding companies still manage moving
and storage businesses on Long Island, new companies -- large and small --
become members every year, meeting very high performance standards and as
well as LIMSA's strict Code of Ethics.
