Should I trust movers with my equipment?

Do I need to pack my TV? How do I pack my computer? Can I trust movers with my equipment?

We always hear these questions from customers. And, honestly, answering them can feel overwhelming because there's so much information out there and so many moving options out there. This is why we created MovingWise!

MovingWise is an app that helps you stay on top of every step of the moving process. You can request bids from several different moving companies, compare costs and ratings, see images of their trucks in advance, see how many reviews each company has received and even schedule your move with one click!

You want to make sure that the truck its load on is the truck making the delivery. A lot of times a local crew will come and pick up your stuff only to take it  to a warehouse unload it and a another drive will load it then deliver it to you or possible to another warehouse local crew who will deliver it to you. No matter what you decide over kill on the packing a must. Make sure every box you shipped is on their inventory. They're are good moving companies and bad moving companies. It all comes down to the driver and his helpers.

Good Luck

Just mark all your boxes "Cash & Jewlery", see if you get any delivered.

As someone who has moved more often than I'd like....NO. NEVER. ABSOLUTELY NOT. NYET!

We moved about 500 miles two years ago.  The moving industry is one with a lot of "bad actors" and ripoff artists.  First of all, I'd get three quotes and insist on a "not to exceed" estimate, and reject an open ended, or fixed price estimate.  I had a really good experience with my movers, a very legitimate company in the DC area.  I bought the insurance and provided them with a list of the high-priced items as part of the process of obtaining that.  I also packed all my equipment in the original factory cartons and was on premise for both the loading and unloading.
