We encourage all our clients to meet with a consultant to discuss additional planning or equipment. In the meantime, check out our list of moving tips that we’ve compiled to help you prevent moving day drama that comes with disappointment, delays, and extra fees:
1. How Many Stops are in Your Quote? Adding an additional stop to pass off furniture to a friend or family member can cost you time and money! While we think it's generous for you to give away some items to another family member or friend, all stops should be discussed and planned out prior to moving day.
2. Have Your Booked the Elevator? Our team understands how busy moving day can be, however, if you live in an apartment, one of the greatest setbacks that can plague your move is failing to book the elevator! This is very time consuming for our movers and your building manager to rectify on the day of.
Although we do our best to make you aware of limitations or fees beforehand to avoid any confusion, unexpected requests made on moving day are both costly and time consuming for yourself and our crew. Determining additional stops and pre-booking parking space or elevators helps us get you settled faster!
