How can I ensure that special items will treated with extra-special care? You can move some of the items that have high sentimental or monetary value yourself. If you prefer to let your movers complete this task, make sure you clearly indicate which items you would like them to take special care with during the move.
Can I schedule a move even if my home is currently under construction? You can, but we highly recommend that you wait until your home is completely finished. Construction can increase the timeframe and possibility of damage on moving day.
What should I do if I haven’t finished packing by my moving day? If you realized you won’t be finished packing by your move date, make sure to inform your moving company as soon as possible. You may be able to hire professional packers to help you finish the job or move on a different date. Your movers may be able to pack up a small amount of items, but you will end up paying more for the move.
Will my movers clean my home once my move is complete? Most professional movers will clean up any mess they have made during the actual move. However, they don’t perform general house cleaning so you must hire a professional cleaning service or perform this task yourself.
What should I do with kitchen items that I need to use? We recommend that you pack up all your items or have the movers pack them and prepare to dine out or use paper plates for a few days prior to your move.
What is a moving kit? This is a kit that has been designed by professional packers to include everything you need to pack an entire home or apartment.
What are some examples of “extraordinary value” items? Although the list will differ for each person, your crystal, furs, jewelry, china, silverware, art or coin collections, crystal, antiques, precious stones and Oriental rugs will often fall under this category.
Can movers transport my hot tub or spa? Yes, but moving companies will charge extra because these items require a special dolly and flatbed truck.
How long will it take me to move? Your actual move will depend on many factors including the weather conditions, size of your shipment, time of year, distance to your destination and time required for loading and unloading.
