Pre-move Preparation

1. You are all set for the move day if you paid the deposit and signed the contract electronically.
2. We always ask all clients to double-check all the information in the contract, such as addresses of the origin and destination (and all extra stops), contact information, moving date (VERY IMPORTANT), arrival window, inventory, all the notes, etc.
3. Choose the coverage for your move (read more)
4. If you are moving to or from an Apartment complex, check with the management of the building if they need the certificate of insurance for movers (COI for moving) , and if yes, please provide us with the requirements at least 72 hours before the move.

We are fully insured and  with our moving company certificate of insurance we can enter practically any apartment complex in US. However, we issue a movers certificate of insurance tailored for specific move and requirements of the building, if the COI is needed. 

5. Make some arrangements for the movers: reserve parking for the truck at both locations and reserve the elevator if necessary.
6. Start packing; read more in our guide for packing

2 Days Before The Move

Our Customer service specialist will call you to confirm the details of your move are current and correct.

1 Day Before The Move

Our system will automatically send you a reminder one day before the move. Please, check all the important information again, and if there are any changes, please, let us know.

At The Destination

1. Walk through at the destination. When movers arrive at the destination, they will review with you where everything should go and how you would like to set up and layout all the furniture. They will use the protection for the house as at the origin.
2. Unloading the truck. During unloading, movers will ask for directions on where everything goes. Labeling all the furniture with blue contraction tape is the best preparation method. It is a universal tape that does not stick or leave marks on walls, furniture, or glass. The boxes will be placed in the respective rooms and where you want them to be. Remember that good labeling will save a lot of time at this point.
3. Unpacking the furniture. We might leave some furniture pieces padded until the end to ensure protection during unloading, while others are immediately unpacked. The moving blankets will be removed as items are safely situated and then returned and folded in the truck.
4. Furniture Reassembly. If items need to be assembled, such as beds, our team members will put them together and finalize their placement.
5. After unloading – the final walkthrough. Once everything is off the truck, we’ll make the final walkthrough of your home with you to ensure everything is in its place. Our team can make in house moving and adjust the location of items.  You can also check the truck inside that it is empty and all your belongings are delivered.
6. Payment options. When all the furniture is set up, the truck is empty & ready for the next job; the Foreman will stop the time, assemble all the numbers, and return to you. He will explain the contract and the payment options.  

If you pay with a card, he will collect the card number, expiration date, and security code (remember that all cards are subject to a 4% processing fee). 

If you pay with cash, he will include a cash discount. 

If you make a Zelle Transfer, our Foreman will provide you with the phone number or email for the transfer.

7. Receipt and contract. We will email you your contract and payment confirmation.
