Inventory – What you’re moving?
For a precise moving quote, it's essential to provide an accurate assessment of the items you plan to move. This includes specifying the number and size of boxes, as well as detailing the appliances and furniture in your inventory. By evaluating your inventory together, we can estimate the necessary resources to ensure your move is efficient and seamless.
Distance – Where are you moving from and to?
The distance and travel time needed will factor into the calculation of your moving quote. We can initiate the estimation process once you provide a confirmed destination zip code
Optional Services
We provide various optional additional services, such as piano handling, full or partial packing, custom crating, extra pickups, and more. Kindly discuss your specific requirements with your relocation coordinator, allowing us to incorporate them into your quote.
Move Date
Planning a move during the peak season, particularly in the high-demand summer months, often results in higher moving costs. Reputable moving companies may be fully booked 2-3 weeks in advance. To secure your preferred date, it is strongly advised to schedule your move well in advance. Additionally, being flexible with your moving dates could potentially lead to discounted rates.
