How Long Will Packing Take?

Typically, most households can be packed within a day or less.

What Does the Packing Service Include?

Packing services include a team of professional movers who have been approved, scored, and reviewed by the Moving of America Moving staff. They will properly pack your items into boxes and ensure your belongings are securely loaded and padded for safe delivery to your new destination

What If I Haven’t Finished Packing By My Scheduled Moving Day?

If your packing is not finished as your scheduled moving day approaches, then don’t hesitate to contact the project manager assigned to your move. We will promptly send our white glove movers who will assist you with packing all your remaining belongings swiftly, minimizing any delay to your move.

How And When Do I Pay For My Move?

Moving of America accepts Discover, MasterCard, and Visa. Typically, movers require a partial or total payment before your move-in day. At Moving of America, we charge 100% of the total balance prior to the delivery of your items. The costs of packing supplies are non-refundable. For additional information, please see our Payment Policy.

I Have a Lot of Stuff. How Much Truck Space Will I Need?

When you speak with one of our professional Moving Advisors, they’ll conduct a thorough inventory of your residence and ask several questions about items such as that pool table and the pile of antiques stacked against the wall in the basement! The space required on the truck will depend on the items you plan to take, and pricing will be calculated accordingly.

How Many People Will Help Me Move?

Crew sizes vary depending on the items listed in your inventory. For example, pianos, fridges, armoires, safes, and other large items may require more muscle, leading to a larger crew.

What Does the Loading and Unloading Services Include?

Loading services involve properly padding furniture and loading the items into the moving truck at the origin location, as well as disassembling basic items (such as beds, dressers, and mirrors, etc.) and wrapping furniture. Unloading services involve removing all items from the truck at your destination and placing them in the appropriate rooms or areas per your instruction, as well as reassembling standard furniture (i.e. beds, dresser mirrors, etc.).

What Size Are Your Trucks?

Our trucks are fully owned and operated exclusively by us. They measure approximately 53 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 9 feet tall. While they can make it down most streets, please inform your Moving Consultant if a truck this size may have difficulty accessing your home. Based on the needs of our customers, we may also utilize a 26’ truck or portable storage container.

Can The Movers Arrange my Furniture according to My Preference in My New Home?

Absolutely yes! Once the transportation is complete, our expert residential movers will coordinate with you to carefully unpack and arrange all your belongings in your new space to your satisfaction.

What is My Protection Coverage?

Protection Coverage covers repair, replacement, or reimbursement for any items damaged while under the care of Moving of America. More information is available in our Protection Policy.

What About Lost or Damaged Goods? Are They Covered Too?

Your household goods are covered for the entire time they are under the care of Moving of America’s professional movers. Choose from two coverage levels to find the option that best suits your budget and coverage requirements.

How Far in Advance Do I Need to Schedule My Move?

Moving Of America strives to be as accommodating as possible with timing. Short notice moves are certainly possible, but can’t be guaranteed. We suggest you book your moves as early as possible, especially if you’re moving in the summer—the busiest time of year for relocation. We recommend scheduling your move seven or more days in advance to ensure the best available service.

What If My Move Dates are Specific?

When you decide on a move date, Moving of America Moving guarantees to pick up on that day. If you require a guaranteed delivery date, you need to inform your Moving Advisor. Depending on the size of the shipment, there may be an additional charge for a guaranteed delivery date. We guarantee delivery anywhere in the contiguous US within fifteen business days.

Can I Schedule A Move on a Sunday?

Yes. We offer professional moving services seven days a week, excluding major holidays.

My Move Date Changed! What Do I Do?

Don’t panic! If your moving date changes, simply contact your dedicated Moving Advisor. They’ll handle scheduling your new date. Please review our Rescheduling and Cancellation Policies for more details.

When Is the Best Time to Move?

While our movers are up to the task any time you hire us, the ideal period for moving is usually during the months when the weather is mild, i.e., during the Spring and Fall seasons.

Is It Possible to Move During Uncertain Weather?

It is possible to carry out moves in any weather. However, unless the move is necessitated by an emergency, it is not recommended by us to move during stormy or rainy weather. Our first priority is to keep our crew and your belongings safe and secure. If there is any risk, we will promptly inform you of any change in plans

What Types of Materials Are Used for Packing?

Our crews use high-quality industry-standard packing materials. To protect and cushion a customer’s items, our loading service will ensure that items are wrapped with professionally woven moving blankets. We do not use paper pads, which often tear or rip during transport.

What Happens If I Use More Or Less Space Than Estimated?

Our inventory process is designed to accurately determine your space needs before the move. If the inventory you provide is accurate, there won’t be any additional charges for extra space. However, if there are more items than initially listed, resulting in the use of additional space, your moving cost may be adjusted accordingly. This adjustment would be based on the original per-foot rate to account for the extra footage used. To prevent any surprises, please ensure your inventory is as accurate as possible during the booking process. In the event that you decide to leave items behind, you have the flexibility to adjust your inventory up to 5 days prior to your move to guarantee accuracy. Following any updates, your dedicated moving advisor will provide an updated price based on your updated inventory. If you end up using less space than initially estimated and do not notify us beforehand, there will be no changes to your costs on moving day.

What Causes My Estimated Costs to Change?

Provided we have an accurate inventory and you do not make any changes to the move dates, your estimated costs should not change. In the event of unforeseen “Additional Services” (such as multiple flights of stairs or a “long carry” when the truck cannot get close to your home), these charges would be added to your total move price. The aim of our phone inventory process is to identify and account for any potential Additional Services, thereby ensuring they are included in your total upfront price. This way, there won’t be any surprises. This is all outlined in your Order for Service Agreement.

Who Should I Contact with Questions During the Move?

How to prepare for moving to Edgewater NJ

Welcome to Edgewater – a place overlooking the New York City and a place that’s filled with history. For starters, if you have made the decision to move to this beautiful area, know that we wholeheartedly support your decision. Secondly, know that Moving of America – NJ Movers is always here to help! Today, we’d like to help you prepare for moving to Edgewater NJ so you won’t have to lose your sleep over it. We’ll cover everything – from hiring movers Edgewater NJ to throwing a goodbye party, we’ll leave no room for error.

The first step is always the most important one – finding movers

Any relocation, no matter how far away in the future it may seem to be, calls for professional movers. When you sit down at your desk and start searching for moving companies, you will most likely be overwhelmed with choices. From military moving companies to piano movers and everything in between, the moving industry offers just about any specialized team you could ever need. But what do you need when moving to Edgewater?

Don’t pace up and down thinking how you are supposed to survive this relocation. We got your back.

You need good and capable local movers ready to relocate all of your possessions from point A to point B. Such a company is:

Reputable and has many positive moving reviews.
Affordable and offers competitive prices.
Experienced and has been around for years.

Once you find such a company (or a couple of them,) the only thing you have to do is request a free moving estimate. If the price turns out to be right – great! Feel free to book your moving date as soon as possible. If the price is higher than what you can afford, just keep looking. The perfect moving company for you is just around the corner.

Prepare for moving to Edgewater NJ by purging your home

Any relocation is a good occasion for some good old spring cleaning. But this time, we are not referring to the process of scrubbing every surface in your home until it’s sparkly clean. We are thinking more among the lines of throwing away some items you no longer need. Anything that is ragged, worn-down or shabby doesn’t belong in your new home. And everything that no longer fits doesn’t belong in your closet. That’s why we here at Moving of America – NJ Movers always advise our customers to clean their home before moving in order to get rid of the excess items. Besides, there’s one more good thing about purging your belongings before moving to Edgewater – the price of your move is more likely to be cheaper. Some movers charge based on the weight of the cargo that is being transported, which means you’ll pay a lower price when transporting fewer items.

Get rid of chaos and bring some order into your life by decluttering before moving.

Get familiar with the area in order to prepare for moving to Edgewater NJ

Any time you are moving to a new location, you are basically changing everything you’ve known up until that point. You are not only switching to a bigger or smaller home – but you are also changing your surroundings. That’s why you should learn as much as you can about Edgewater before moving to it. Our suggestion? Visit your potential new neighborhood on a couple of occasions before signing the lease. Nothing will help you get an idea of what your new life will be like better than visiting the neighborhood. Make no mistake – loving the neighborhood and the people in it is as important as loving the house itself. You can always spruce up your home and change the things you don’t like, but you won’t be able to do the same with your neighbors. So, before you can actually prepare for moving to Edgewater NJ, you’ll have to make sure the neighborhood is just right.

Start packing your belongings at least a month before your move

Packing seems like simple enough task sometimes. All you have to do is put up your items in boxes, tape them and you are good to go. Right? Wrong! There is a lot of work to be put into packing up just one box – let alone dozens of them. Not only do you have to prepare your items for packing by wrapping them in protective packaging, but you also have to pad the boxes from the inside if they will carry fragile items, and label them. And then you are supposed to repeat the process for every moving box. Do you now understand why it won’t be possible to do it over the weekend? So, unless you decide to pay for packing and unpacking services NJ, you will have to get to work on time.

When is the right time to start packing? As soon as possible!

We can’t tell you what’s the right and wrong way to pack when moving to Edgewater. But we can give you some insight into what our customers usually do. Start by packing items you don’t often use and pack those items you use on a daily basis last. Usually, the kitchen should be the last one to pack and the first one to unpack. It’s a room of the house that every household member will need on a daily basis, so it should be your top priority.

Are you ready to move to Edgewater? Then go out with a bang!

Saying goodbye to your loved ones should be a mandatory part of any relocation. It’s a chance to reminisce about the good old days and get excited about the future. Plus, it will probably give you the strength you need to emotionally survive the upcoming period, so a goodbye party is always the best idea. Besides, we believe that out of all the things you had to do to prepare for moving to Edgewater NJ, this one will give you the most pleasure. And to throw a goodbye party is easy! All you have to do is invite your friends and family, order some good food and provide refreshments. That’s all you need for a good time!
