To make your move as smooth, stress-free, and cost-effective as possible, we need the right information from you upfront. The more details we have, the better we can plan, prepare, and price your move accurately—avoiding surprises and complications on moving day.

Even small details can make a big difference. Missing or incorrect information may lead to logistical issues or unexpected charges. To avoid that, here’s exactly what we need from you:



📍 Pickup & Delivery Addresses

Please provide the full and accurate addresses for both your current location and your destination. This allows us to plan routes, assess accessibility, and estimate time and cost precisely.



📞 On-Site Contact Information

We need a reliable contact person at both the pickup and delivery locations. On moving day, the crew foreman will reach out when they’re nearby, so it’s crucial these contacts are available and responsive by phone.



🏢 Accessibility Details

Tell us about:

  • Stairs or elevators at both locations.

  • Whether a semi-truck can access the property or if we’ll need to use a smaller vehicle.

  • The distance from the nearest legal parking spot to your front door.

These details help us prepare the correct equipment, vehicle size, and crew.



📄 Certificate of Insurance (COI)

If you’re moving to or from an apartment, your building management may require a COI before allowing movers onsite. If so:

  • Ask your management for their specific COI requirements.

  • Send those to us at least one week in advance, so we can prepare and submit the certificate on time.



📦 Itemized Inventory

An accurate inventory list of what you’re moving helps us give you a fair and realistic quote. We’ve created a helpful guide on how to prepare your inventory—be sure to check it out!



🔐 Special Packing Requirements

If any of your items require custom or regulation-specific packing, please let us know ahead of time so we can bring the right materials.



🏋️ Heavy, Bulky, or Delicate Items

If you’re moving particularly large, heavy, or fragile items (like a piano, safe, or artwork), tell us in advance. We’ll reserve the right space in the truck and bring the necessary tools and padding.



📦 Storage Needs

Need storage? Let us know:

  • Whether you need short-term or long-term storage.

  • The earliest date you’ll be ready to receive your items.

This helps us coordinate delivery timing and storage space accordingly.



🧠 The Bottom Line

The more we know, the better we can serve you.

Providing these details upfront ensures:

  • A smoother moving experience

  • An accurate, transparent quote

  • No surprises on moving day
