How far in advance should I book a residential mover?

We recommend booking a mover at least 6-8 weeks before your move date. The earlier the better, and if you can avoid peak season, you’ll end up saving a lot of money. It’s a good idea to book your move far in advance so you have plenty of time to pack up without stressing over everything, anyways.

How can I estimate the cost of my residential move?

Depending on the mover, you can get a complete estimate by using their online utility, calling in, or with an in-home estimate. Movers will need a complete idea of how much stuff you have to move and how far everything has to travel before they give you a quote. The more accurate the information, the more accurate the price.

Should I opt for full packing services, or can I pack myself?

It depends on your preference and budget. Full packing services offer convenience, while self-packing allows you to save money and have more control over your belongings. Keep in mind most movers actually require you pay for their packing services if you want their full-coverage insurance as well.

Are there any items movers won’t transport?

Moving companies typically won’t transport hazardous materials, perishable items, and items of high personal or sentimental value, like important documents or cash. Check in with your movers ahead of time to see their no-go list.

Is it necessary to purchase moving insurance?

While reputable movers provide basic insurance coverage, purchasing additional moving insurance is recommended if you’re moving valuable or fragile items. Full coverage insurance comes at a higher price, but it’s important peace of mind.
