A verified professional will get in touch.
Not sure what you need? Describe the move, and a professional can suggest the right kind of help.
A move within the same area, often priced by the hour.
A move to another state or region, usually priced by weight or volume and distance.
The mover packs, loads, transports and unloads.
Labor only, with you providing the truck or container.
Short or long-term storage, before or after a move.
Pianos, antiques, artwork and other items needing extra care.
How many rooms and how much you own.
How far, and whether it is a local or long-distance move.
Some movers charge by weight, others by time.
Packing, unpacking, storage and assembly all add cost.
Stairs, elevators, long carries and parking can affect the price.
Busy periods and weekends usually cost more.
For interstate moves, look up the federal USDOT number yourself. For local moves, check your state's requirements.
And is it binding or non-binding.
A quote without an inventory or a survey is a warning sign.
How much, when, and what you get back if you cancel.
And what extra protection costs.
Check independent sources, including your state consumer agency.
We'd rather connect you with the right provider once than flood your inbox with a dozen you'll never call back.
Binding and non-binding estimates work differently, and the difference affects your final bill. You hear what each means.
Hidden charges, large deposits and goods held until you pay more are known problems. You hear how to spot the warning signs.
You can ask questions and compare, and nobody pushes you to commit on the spot.
The most reliable quotes come after the mover has seen your belongings, in person or by video. Be wary of a firm price quoted over the phone without any inventory. Give an honest list of everything, including attic, garage and storage items.
A binding estimate fixes the price for the items and services listed. A non-binding estimate is a guide, and the final cost can change with the actual weight or the services used. Ask which you are being given, and get it in writing.
Interstate movers must be registered with the federal government and have a USDOT number, which you can look up. Local moves are usually regulated by your state. Check complaints with your state consumer agency and read recent reviews.
Be cautious. Reputable movers don't normally ask for a large deposit before the move. Ask what is required, when, and what you would get back if you cancel.
Basic coverage from a mover is often limited and may be well below the real value of your belongings. Ask what is included, what extra coverage costs, and how a claim works. Check whether your own insurance helps.
The dates, the services included, the price or how it is worked out, the coverage, and what happens if the move is late or changed. Read it before you sign and keep a copy.
This is a known scam. Be wary of movers whose price rises sharply on moving day, and of those who won't show a written estimate. If you are in this situation, contact your state consumer agency.
Be flexible on dates where you can, since busy periods cost more. Decide what to take, sell or give away before you get quotes, and pack some things yourself if you wish.
Where you are moving from and to, the date, the size of the home, and whether you need packing or storage. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.
