As a matter of Maine statutory law, to potentially qualify for a mechanic’s lien the labor you perform must be used in erecting, altering, moving or repairing a house, building or appurtenances. The packing and delivering of a customer’s household goods does not appear to fall within this language. Accordingly, I do not believe you would have the right to pursue a mechanic’s lien in these circumstances. Of course, you can always sue the client based on the written agreement the client signed and you can request an attachment, which if approved would allow you to place a lien on certain property owned by the client.

Online transactions are an unreliable thing but of course every transaction has a record of history after each transaction. But for this case it is unilateral from one party when the customer refuses to pay.
