Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do the movers take time off for lunch? Do I need to
provide lunch for them?
A: Moving is a physically taxing job, and the crew needs time
to eat during the day. Since you are paying by the hour, any time
that they spend eating will be deducted from your bill. As for
providing lunch, you are welcome to contribute monetarily to their
lunch if you wish, but it is not required.
Q: I'm scaling down to a smaller home. I know my furniture will
fit. Does that mean I'm all set?
A: Unfortunately, possibly not. Many people overlook the space
that smaller items such as knickknacks, photos, CD collections, books,
spare clothes, etc. will take up. If in doubt, you may wish to consult
with an interior decorator or other professional with experience in
evaluating space.
Q: Can the moving company dispose of excess trash?
A: Yes, but there is a charge for items taken to the dump,
both for labor involved in driving to and from the dump, as well
as a disposal fee imposed by the management of the waste disposal
location.
Q: Is it possible to move during inclement weather?
A: Professional movers are prepared to move during rain, sleet, or
snow if need be. They come equipped with supplies to keep your belongings safe
from the elements. However, in an effort to keep costs down, you
may wish to shovel or rake or otherwise clear the access in
preparation for their arrival rather than paying your moving
crew their hourly rate to remove such obstacles.
