It depends on when you are moving and the number of men that are needed for your move. Keep in mind, that there are cost factors beyond just the hourly rate. It is always best to get a complete estimate from your moving consultant.

Keep It Movin’ always assigns the most efficient number of movers to each move. It is usually more expensive to under-staff a move. A smaller crew might charge a lower hourly rate, but they will take longer to complete the move. It has been well documented that when there aren’t enough movers on a job, crews are more likely to rush and to fatigue, resulting in an increase in damages.

All movers must provide a minimum coverage, which is determined by state or federal law. This coverage is limited to $.60 (depending on your state of origin) per pound per article being shipped.

Industry surveys have proven that at the end of the day, when the move is complete, Keep It Movin’ is extremely cost competitive. Many factors, other than hourly rates, can go into the cost of the move. For example, some companies might charge for tape used during the wrapping of your furniture (Keep It Movin’ does not). Some companies might charge overtime charges if the move lasts beyond 5:00 pm or on weekends (again, Keep It Movin’ does not). When all is said and done, you might pay a difference of a few dollars, but the nominal difference will have bought you peace of mind and the best trained and most experienced movers in the business.

Valuable baseball cards, jewelry, original artwork, and the like are considered to be “items of extraordinary value? Items such as those are not covered by cargo insurance. In most cases, the most practical solution is to move those items in your personal vehicle.

Unfortunately, damages do occur sometimes in spite of all the precautions our movers take. Each move comes with $300 of coverage for repairing or replacing your household goods in the event a damage does occur. However, we do recommend purchasing additional valuation coverage. Adequate valuation coverage will ensure that, in the event of a major accident or damage, the replacement costs for any and all items damaged will be covered.

We accept all major forms of payment for local moves including cash, check, credit card, and other certified funds. Cash or certified funds are the only acceptable form of payment for long-distance moves.

We understand that sometimes our customers need to postpone a move due to circumstances that are beyond their control. We make every effort to accommodate postponements but are sometimes unable change our schedule on short notice. To avoid a 1 cancellation charge, we require 72 hours advance notice for postponement and cancellation.

Our trucks are well supplied with quality moving blankets to ensure that every piece of furniture is adequately protected on our trucks. Shrink wrap is used to protect sofas from dirt and to ensure that items such as dressers and entertainment centers stay closed while in transit. We offer shrink wrap and padding at no extra charge. Our goal is to have as few damages as is possible.

Last minute moves are possible but depend on our availability on the day you call.

Generally speaking, inclement weather does not interfere with a move. In most cases, the distance between the front of your house and the truck is minimal thus minimizing the time that your furniture pieces will spend in the weather.

Depending on the speed, size, and proximity of the elevator can have a major impact on the move time. One of the most important time-saving measures a customer can take is to reserve their elevator for exclusive use by Keep It Movin’. One of the most frustrating and time consuming parts of moving can be when our movers have to compete with another mover for elevator usage. This allows one person to occupy the elevator full-time and help load and unload it. A significant number of stairs and/or a long carry distance will definitely add time to your move. We typically like to add an extra mover onto a move that has an elevator or stairs.
