Q When is the best time to move
A If there is a choice, most moving companies suggest you select a time other than summer, the end of the month, or the end of the year. The heaviest demands are placed on our drivers, equipment and moving consultants during these periods.

Many factors are involved in making the decision - they may include -

  • Whether the move must be made immediately
  • Transferring children during the school term.
  • Separation of the family while the move is under way.

If the move can be scheduled for a time when our vans and trained personnel are more readily available, we will be better able to meet your needs.

Q Can my goods be stored temporarily?
A If you are unable to take immediate possession of your new residence, your belongings can be stored in our warehouse. However, you are responsible for the storage charges, as well as warehouse handling and final delivery charges from the warehouse.

Q When should I call?
A The sooner the better. The more lead time you can give, the more likely we will be able to meet your pick up and delivery needs. All moving companies, for their usual type of service, require alternate pick up and delivery dates.

We'll do our best to comply with the dates you prefer or the nearest possible alternative.

Quick Tips

  • Call Early
  • If possible have alternate pick up and delivery dates in mind.
    Plan on a date for our moving consultant to come to your home and visually survey your household goods to be transported.
  • Keep in mind the household goods surveys are only guidelines. On interstate shipments, you must pay the total charges as determined by the actual weight of your shipment, the distance traveled, and the services performed.
  • Charges for local shipments are generally calculated on an hourly basis. There may be a minimum number of hours required.

Q Insurance - Are my goods protected?
A Yes, but how much protection you have and its cost to you depend upon the valuation program you choose - Full Value coverage or Depreciated Coverage......

Quick Tips -
All articles of "extraordinary value" (items having a value of more than $100 per pound) in your shipment must be listed on a High Value Inventory form which will be given to you by our moving consultant.
