Moving Questions, Answered

Explore answers to the most common questions about moving costs, budgeting, and planning your move.

It’s best to book at least 4–6 weeks before your move date, especially during peak seasons like summer. This gives you better availability and pricing.

Most moving companies offer **optional full or partial packing services** for an extra fee. You can choose to pack yourself or have them handle it.

The cost is usually based on **weight/volume** of your belongings, **distance** of the move, and any **extra services** (packing, storage, specialty items).

Be aware of potential charges like **long-carry fees**, **stair fees**, or **shuttle services** if a large truck can't access your street. Always ask for an all-inclusive binding estimate.

Document the damage immediately and file a claim with the moving company as soon as possible, usually within **9 months** of your move. Review your valuation coverage options beforehand.
