Questions
What does 'packed and ready to move' mean?
'Packed and ready' means all items fit in standard boxes should be sealed and labeled. We assist with last-minute packing of difficult items like artwork and hanging clothes.
How do your storage services differ from self-storage?
Our storage keeps items wrapped and protected in climate-controlled vaults. You pay only for the space used, with inventory tracking and included liability coverage.
What items can't be transported?
We cannot move flammables, pressurized containers, alcohol, or hazardous materials. Clients should handle these items separately or dispose of them properly before moving day.
How are moving costs calculated?
Costs depend on time, manpower, and distance. We provide upfront estimates with no hidden fees. Local moves bill hourly, while long-distance relocations use weight-based pricing.
What if my move timeline changes?
We accommodate schedule changes by adjusting crew assignments. Rush moves maintain the same budget through optimized manpower allocation while preserving service quality standards.
Do you offer packing material delivery?
Yes, we deliver free packing materials to your home. We also offer competitive pricing on boxes and supplies, with options for eco-conscious clients seeking reused materials.
