Moving Estimate
When moving long distance the estimate has an important part in planning and executing the move! These are extremely important terms to understand. There are two ways that the United States Department of Transportation allow movers to price their services. Binding and non-binding it is important to understand - Contact Us and we'll make it clear and help you getting stated on your state to state move!
In Home Estimate
An In Home Estimate is useful not only to you, the customer but also to the Moving Company!
We at Move Us believe getting an in-home estimate is important in not only to avoid fraudulent moving companies, but also in helping you get an accurate estimate from a reputable mover.From the moving company’s perspective, an in-home estimate gives them the ability to give you an accurate quote, and in turn give you the best service they possibly can for your money.Did we mention it's FREE!?
Check the Inventory List
An inventory list is an industry term referring to the list of items that will be moved. We’ve found that oftentimes, when some other mover has a much cheaper price than us, it’s because they missed things on the list. I even had one client send me a list which listed around 60% of the inventory I had.
You can see some of our clients inventory lists and prices so you can compare the inventory lists and the prices that it costs - Contact us we'll guide you through the relocation.
Packing
Most full service movers will include at the minimum the use of moving blankets and pads. This is the standard that we hold to as well. However, some items require special packing – TV sets, mirrors, glass furniture all require more than just the standard moving blankets to make sure they don’t break along the way. Upholstered furniture and mattresses also require special packing with plastic wrap for hygienic reasons.
