1. Where to find movers?

Typing on your internet search “movers near me” or “local movers near me” is definitely helpful unless you want to end up with interstate movers San Diego.

2. How many movers do I need?

How many movers you need depends on a lot of different factors, such as size of your home or office, stairs, heavy items etc. That is why sales representatives in your chosen local moving company will ask you many questions in order to find out what kind of relocation they can expect and to recommend the number of movers that will do the job efficiently and safely.

3. Why tip the movers?

First thing you should know is that you are not obligated to tip the movers, but that kinda became a part of our culture.

4. Are movers liable for damage?

Unfortunately, not every local moving company is licensed and insured, so you have to be cautious when it comes to scheduling your move with anyone.

This is something that depends on a company’s policy that your movers have.

Every professional local moving company can offer you packing assistance as well, usually you just need to request it because it is not a part of their standard service. Packing is a very time-consuming task and that is why most of the clients decide to delegate it to a moving company.

Whatever the case is, your movers should explain it before you decide to book your move.
