When
should I call Allways Moving and Storage?
If you need
to move today, we can probably do that. If you require a written in-home
estimate, you should call about 7 days to 2 weeks before your move. We
generally just ask you to give us as much notice as you can.
How
long does Allways Moving and Storage need for an in-home estimate?
Usually no more than an hour.
What
are my responsibilities?
In brief ...
- Be present during
the packing of your belongings.
- Take personal responsibility
for jewelry and other high value items.
- Check and sign
the inventory of your belongings.
- Ensure that no
prohibited items are packed.
So
what can or can't I take with me?
Generally speaking, dispose of all flammable items, liquids, foods and
other items that should not be shipped. Anything that can deteriorate
should not be shipped. If you have a question about something, just call
and ask.
Anything
that is definitely a no-go area?
Well, mainly those things you might expect - drugs, alcohol, weapons,
ammunition. Shipping certain high value items or collections may require
you to purchase extra coverage.
What
about my car?
Most of the time we can take your car(s), truck or SUV with the rest of
your belongings in the trailer or container. If this is not possible,
we can arrange for an alternate method. We do not transport cars as part
of a regular local move, however.
Suppose
I pack myself?
Why not? But be aware of the potential problems. For instance, valuation
coverage will not pay out on goods packed by their owner, unless the exterior
of the box is damaged.
How
long will Allways Moving and Storage take to pack my goods?
Every home is different but we can normally pack a home in 1-2 days.
Can
I leave my clothes in their drawers?
Yes, you can. Just be sure not to leave anything solid that can damage
the piece.
