FAQs

How far in advance should I book?
Peak season (May–September) fills fast. Aim for 4–6 weeks out; we accommodate rush moves when capacity allows.

Do you offer virtual estimates?
Yes. A coordinator can complete a secure video walkthrough on your phone or laptop in ~20–30 minutes.

What can I do to reduce cost?
Purge non-essentials, self-pack non-fragiles, and ensure close truck access. Combine deliveries when possible.

Will you protect my home during the move?
Yes—floor runners, door jamb protectors, banister padding, and adequate crew size for safe handling.

Do you move pianos, artwork, or safes?
Yes. We bring the right gear, build crates as needed, and follow specialty handling procedures.

What’s the difference between insurance and valuation?
Carriers provide valuation coverage (not an insurance policy). We’ll help you choose a Full Replacement Value option that fits the shipment.

Are there items you can’t move?
Hazardous materials (paints, fuels, aerosols), perishables, and certain plants are restricted. Your coordinator will provide a full list.

Can you store my goods if dates change?
Yes—containerized storage with barcode inventory and flexible redelivery.
