Move Guidelines

  1. SAVE MONEY -- let the movers move the largest bulky items and you take the small ones in your car. (Only small items in sealed boxes will be moved by the movers).
  2. PLEASE BE AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE -- because your move is priced according to the points that you give us when you set up your move. The points can be changed up until the day before the move without penalty simply by calling the office during normal working hours. Points added the day of the move are at double the normal rate. No reductions or credit will be given for fewer points on the day of the move.
  3. THE MOVERS CARRY NO TOOLS -- anything needing to be disassembled or disconnected must be ready before movers arrive. (Items that are not ready will be excluded from the move without refund.) You should leave only clothes in drawers and they should be taped shut. All reasonable efforts will be made to get large items out of / into your residence. If this is not possible the item will be left at that location without refund.
  4. TRAFFIC, WEATHER, ETC. -- please allow (and be at home) one hour on each side of the scheduled move to allow for these variables. The schedule should be considered firm but is subject to availability of crews and equipment. There will be an extra $30.00 charge for same day customer requested rescheduling, per half-hour of mover waiting, and for customer no-shows.
  5. CONTROL YOUR MOVE -- you should stay at the move loading location and then lead the movers to your new location.
  6. EXCEPTIONALLY FRAGILE OR VALUABLE ITEMS -- you should move these items in your car. (Example: jewelry, china, crystal, lamps, shades, plants, pictures, mirrors and glass tops/shelves.) If this is not possible please ask for special arrangements if necessary.
