FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Choosing the right relocation firm can make your future move almost carefree if you ask the right questions before hand. We have a lot of experience and have compiled our most frequently asked questions from customers for you.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
Most interstate movers have the same rates filed with the government. Cost is based on weight, travel distance, packing, and other services. We'll give you an estimate after we've visited your home and discussed your special needs.
IS A MOVE TAX DEDUCTIBLE?
Chances are it will be if you are paying for any part of it and are moving to take a job with a new employer or were transferred by your present employer. Plan now to itemize all costs connected with your move such as travel, hotel, meals, etc., as well as the moving expense bill. Ask our representative for a "Moving Kit".
COULDN'T WE MOVE OURSELVES?
Possibly, but consider the costs and risks. Renting the proper equipment (trucks, dollies, handcarts and pads) is expensive. Amateur loading can seriously damage the furniture you worked so hard to acquire and you can seriously injure yourself by lifting and carrying.
WHAT IF OUR NEW HOME ISN'T READY FOR OCCUPANCY?
Not to worry, storage facilities are available wherever you are going and at reasonable costs. Your household effects will be held for any length of time in clean, safe keeping until you are ready to take delivery. Just remember that all charges must be paid before goods are released.
HOW WILL OUR BREAKABLES, CLOTHES AND DELICATE PIECES BE PROTECTED?
Specially constructed cartons ranging from dish barrels to wardrobes to mirror packs are utilized by expert packers to keep your possessions safe from damage. Crating is available at your request for unusual and hard to protect items that must be safeguarded. Your auto can travel with your household goods too! Ask your relocation consultant for more information.
WHAT ABOUT SERVICES AND QUALITY ASSURANCE?
