Tips and Recommendations

Before the Move

  • Empty furniture/appliances: Please empty drawers, dressers, and refrigerators/freezers. This saves time, prevents heavy-item fees, and makes bulky furniture easier to move.
  • Pack smart: Use small or medium boxes and fill them completely to avoid collapsing. Label each box with the room name and mark fragile items clearly.
  • Heavy items: If anything weighs around 300 lbs and needs to go up or down stairs, inform your sales representative so we can assign the right crew and equipment.

During Planning

  • Crew size: Having enough movers helps complete the job efficiently and prevents overpaying for extra time.
  • Changes: Let your sales representative know if anything changes (added/removed items, extra locations, packing needs, elevator reservations, etc.) so we can plan accordingly.
  • Elevators & loading docks: If possible, reserve them in advance to save time. For high-rise moves, confirm elevator availability and share the reservation window with your sales rep.
  • Parking: Customers are responsible for parking, but please inform us in advance of any restrictions, height limits, or permit requirements.

On Moving Day

  • Be present: Please be at both pickup and delivery locations to guide the crew and confirm item placement.
  • Wait time: Any delays not caused by the movers (e.g., access issues, absence of customer, or payment processing) will be added to total move time.

Insurance / Valuation
