FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions What is a short haul move? This is a move that is less than 450 miles. Make sure to inquire with your moving company as you may have to pay long distance charges even for short haul moves. What is a local move? This usually refers to moves that are less than 100 miles and within the same state. What is an intrastate move? This refers to a move of more than 100 miles within the same state. What are additional services? These include services such as appliance servicing, stair carries or shuttle service that you request or are required. They will result in additional charges. What is a non-binding estimate? This is an estimate based on the moving company’s previous experience with similar moving jobs to yours and it’s subject to change. What is an international move? This is a move where your items must cross an international boundary, regardless of actual distance. What is a booking agent? This is the agent you choose as your mover or the member of a van line that will coordinate all dates and services for your move. 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. 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. Should I purchase valuation insurance? Check with your homeowner’s insurance policy to see exactly what is covered. Depending on your particular policy, you may want to consider purchasing valuation insurance in case of damage during your move. How can I lower the cost of my move? Try to book your move Monday through Thursday because weekends are usually busier and more expensive. You may also be able to save money by moving in the middle of the month or avoiding the busy summer months. How can I ensure I will be finished packing by my moving day? Many people tend to underestimate the amount of items to pack and the time required to do so. They may also expect more people to help on the actual moving day, even though some people may not be available. Avoid this by following an organized packing plan and allot more time than you believe you will require for packing. |
