What Services Do I Need When Moving?

Moving companies offer more than just delivering your belongings from one place to another. Here are some services to set up when moving:

Packing and Unpacking

Proper packing takes a lot of time and will require various materials, from specialized wrappers to padding. If your move involves a lot of items or many delicate things (such as fragile objects or high-value heirlooms) or if you lack adequate packing supplies, you can get packing services from your moving company. They’ll safely and quickly pack everything for you and even use custom packing for items that need it.

Unpacking services are also available. With these, your movers will unpack your belongings in your new home and dispose of the packing materials afterward.

Furniture Assembly and Disassembly

Many large furniture items, especially antiques, may need some special care to disassemble and reassemble. Movers can do this for you!

Specialty Items Handling

Large items like hot tubs, pianos, safes, etc. may require special handling. Movers may charge you extra for moving things like these as they can considerably increase the total weight of your shipment, which pulls up moving costs. Your moving company may also have to hire additional movers or use specialty equipment to transport your things properly.

Movers also often have hoisting as an additional service. This applies to bulky items that may not fit through narrow entryways and passages and will require a rigging system to get them in and out of a property.

Appliance Servicing

Many appliances need to be disconnected before movers can take them from your home for transport. If you don’t feel too confident about removing your electrical or gas appliances, your movers may be able to do it for you. Similarly, they can also reconnect these items in your next place.

Stairs, Elevators, and Long Carries

If movers have to take multiple flights of stairs, pile items into a cramped elevator, walk a long distance to get to your location, this will likely be an extra charge. Your movers may have to pick up and deliver your belongings using several vehicles or take multiple trips.

Expedited Delivery

If you need to be in your new home within a certain timeframe, you can expedite your move by getting exclusive use of the moving vehicle. This will typically come as an additional charge.

Extra Pickups or Deliveries

Some of your items might need to be picked up at a different location, such as from a family member’s home, a rental house, or a storage facility. If so, you can ask your mover for split pickup (or delivery) services so they can make the additional stops to complete your move.

Storage

Some movers offer storage services, which lets you keep your belongings in the company’s storage facilities while waiting for transportation. The cost here will depend on how long your belongings are stored and if warehouse staff will require specialty equipment to store and retrieve your things.
