What is a moving kit?

Can my movers transport my barbeque?
Yes, but they can’t transport any propane tanks. You must remove any tanks attached to the barbeque grill before the day of your move.

Can I schedule a move even if my home is currently under construction?
You can, but we highly recommend that you wait until your home is completely finished. Construction can increase the timeframe and possibility of damage on moving day.

Will my moving company get rid of any extra trash?
Yes, but they will charge you for any items they need to take to a waste disposal location, including the time required to drive to and from the area and the management fee required.

How are fees calculated for interstate moves?
Your moving company may charge you a set fee which depends on the inventory of your items and delivery timeframe. They may also charge you based on the weight or volume of your items.

What is third party service?
This is a service contracted out to people other than the movers. It may include waterbed service, household cleaning or appliance servicing.

What are wardrobes? ?
These are special boxes that are designed to hold your clothes. Some come equipped with a hanging rod and can fit clothing from up to 3 linear feet of closet space. 

Do I need to provide lunch for my movers?
Your moving professionals will need to eat at some point during the day. You don’t need to provide lunch, although doing so will reduce the time they require to drive to and from a local restaurant which will save you money.

What should I do with kitchen items that I need to use?
We recommend that you pack up all your items or have the movers pack them and prepare to dine out or use paper plates for a few days prior to your move.
