Learn moreMoving Myths: True or False?
A lot of what people expect on moving day is not quite right. Six quick questions; see how you do.
- You have to empty every dresser drawer before the movers come. False. Not always. Light, soft items like clothes can often stay in sturdy dressers. Take out anything heavy, fragile, or valuable, and ask your crew on the day.
- Movers can take your propane tank and gasoline cans. False. No. Flammable and hazardous items like propane, gasoline, and paint thinner cannot go on a moving truck.
- On long moves, houseplants should ride with you, not on the truck. True. Yes. Moving trucks are not climate controlled, so plants travel best in your car.
- An itemized quote should list the crew, the truck, and the services. True. Yes. A clear quote lists what you are paying for, not just one number.
- The cheapest quote is always the best deal. False. Not necessarily. Check licensing, what is included, and how stairs, travel, and heavy items are charged before you compare prices.
- Labeling boxes by room on two sides makes unloading faster. True. Yes. The crew can see the label from any angle and take each box straight to its room.
