FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions What is a short haul move? This is a move that is less than 450 miles. Make sure to inquire with your moving company as you may have to pay long distance charges even for short haul moves. What is a local move? This usually refers to moves that are less than 100 miles and within the same state. What is an intrastate move? This refers to a move of more than 100 miles within the same state. What is long carry? You may be charged an additional fee if the moving van can’t come within a certain distance from the entrance of your destination. This is generally 75 feet, but you need to check with your particular moving company. ? Can my movers disconnect my gas? No, movers are not licensed to disconnect gas so you will have to hire another professional to perform this service. What is overflow? Movers may have to leave some of your belongings behind if there is insufficient space in the moving van or truck. If this is the case, make sure to leave the least essential items for the next truck that will be heading to your area. What are some examples of “extraordinary value” items? Although the list will differ for each person, your crystal, furs, jewelry, china, silverware, art or coin collections, crystal, antiques, precious stones and Oriental rugs will often fall under this category. What should I do with my plants? We recommend that you move your plants yourself as they can suffer from a lack of light and water and temperature extremes in the truck. Please note that some countries will not allow the import of plants or other agricultural items if you’re planning an overseas move. What is in interstate move? This refers to a move to another state where you cross another state’s border. What are the options for coverage of any lost or damaged items during transit? You can choose your type and level of protection from the following: cash value liability, full replacement liability or weight based liability. Can I pack and move some smaller items before the movers arrive? Yes, you should spend your time packing boxes and have friends and family members spend their time carrying the boxes to the moving truck. How can I ensure I will be finished packing by my moving day? Many people tend to underestimate the amount of items to pack and the time required to do so. They may also expect more people to help on the actual moving day, even though some people may not be available. Avoid this by following an organized packing plan and allot more time than you believe you will require for packing. Will my movers clean my home once my move is complete? Most professional movers will clean up any mess they have made during the actual move. However, they don’t perform general house cleaning so you must hire a professional cleaning service or perform this task yourself. |
