Booking & Costs
Q: What days of the week and times of the day are available for booking?
A: Moves are booked Monday thru Sunday either in the morning (9am arrival) or the afternoon (2-4pm arrival). For afternoon appointments, we guarantee arrival but we are unable to guarantee a specific time as it is dependent on the duration of the morning appointment. Moves with time constraints or elevator reservations should book a morning appointment. Reservations are first come first serve.
Q: How many movers will I need for my move?
A: It depends. Two movers can be utilized for most smaller sized properties (1-2 bedroom apartments). Larger properties may require additional movers to complete the job efficiently. We will determine the number of movers needed after assessing the details of your move via the Quote Questionnaire.
Q: Is there an hourly minimum?
A: Yes. There is a 2-hour minimum for the cost of a single service.
Q: Is a booking deposit required?
A: Yes. For local moves, a two-hour minimum booking deposit is required. For long-distance moves, a 20% booking deposit is required. The booking deposit is fully refundable if you cancel your scheduled move 72 hours prior to your reservation. If you need to reschedule your move, your booking deposit will be applied to the new date/time.
