When should I call Movin’ On? Moving and Storage?
If you need to move today, we can
probably do that. If you require a written
in-home estimate, you should call about 3
weeks to 6 weeks before your move. We
generally just ask you to give us as much
notice as you can.
What are my responsibilities?
In brief ...
- Be present during the packing of your belongings.
- Take personal responsibility for jewelry and other high value items.
- Check and sign the inventory of your belongings.
- Ensure that no prohibited items are packed.
So what can or can't I take with me?
Generally speaking, dispose of all
flammable items, liquids, foods and other
items that should not be shipped. Anything
that can deteriorate should not be shipped.
If you have a question about something, just
call and ask.
Anything that is definitely a no-go area?
Well, mainly those things you might
expect - drugs, alcohol, weapons, ammunition.
Shipping certain high value items or
collections may require you to purchase extra
coverage.
What about my car?
We transport cars as part of a regular local or long distance move.
Suppose I pack myself?
Why not? But
be aware of the potential problems. For
instance, valuation coverage will not pay out
on goods packed by their owner, unless the
exterior of the box is damaged. If you need
boxes, see our supply page for the best value
in packing supplies.
How long will Movin’ On? Moving and Storage take to pack my goods?
Every home is different but we can normally pack a home in 1-2 days.
Can I leave my clothes in their drawers?
Yes, you can. Just be sure not to leave anything solid that can damage the piece.
How am I covered in case of damage?
Your things are covered by valuation.
On local and interstate shipments you receive
valuation coverage of 60 cents per pound per
article at no cost. You may elect to purchase
more valuation coverage by declaring full
replacement valuation for your goods. You are
charged a premium on the declared amount. The
premiums vary with your type of move.
