Moving Policy

The customer or his representative must be present during the move at all times. We need your guidance! It is the customer’s responsibility to do a final “walk-through” of the premises to ensure we have taken everything. Our time runs continuously until all tools and equipment are back in the truck and payment is completed. Having your cash or credit/debit card ready will save you time and money. Please note: we do not accept checks. For credit card payments, your name and the name on the credit card should match. You will be asked to sign for a credit card payment.

We accept cash or credit/debit card on delivery, Please note: we do not accept checks. For credit card payments, your name and the name on the credit card should match. You will be asked to sign for a credit card payment. For all interstate moves we require a 10% deposit to secure crew and truck for your move (see our policy on deposits, section ‘strict policy’), 50% of the total after the deduction of the deposit is due at the pick-up time, and remaining 50% balance due at the delivery before unloading.

The customer is responsible for requesting moving permits if they may be required. We can only recommend getting permits for all moves as they guarantee to park the moving truck as close as possible to your doorway. Because you are familiar with the parking situation on your street, you must decide if you need one, or if you can manage parking on your own. In most cases, we require 35-40 feet to park the truck. Please get moving permits if you think movers may have trouble parking at your address or let us know, so we can make appropriate arrangements for you. We highly recommend getting permits in North End and Beacon Hill areas. If there is nowhere to park at the time of the mover’s arrival, the crew will start your moving clock while they will be searching for parking. Driver reserves the right to park anywhere at his discretion to better perform services, even if it is illegal and/or he has to double-park. The customer agrees to pay any parking fees or tickets assessed to the carrier for any vehicle under hire by the customer at the time of the charge.

If we are only providing loading or unloading services, we are not responsible for any damages, which may occur in transporting the furniture and are released of all liability after loading the truck before unloading. We are only responsible for items in our immediate care, custody, and control.

For local moves, you must pay in full on the day of the job. Payment for local moves is due before the end of the job by cash or VISA/MC/DISCOVER/AMEX. Venmo, Cash App, Paypal, Crypto.

Any damage claims must be submitted in writing to our claims department. Applicable notes about these damages must be made in writing on the bill of lading on the day of your move before movers leave your premises. Our company standards do assume a full inspection of furniture by both our movers and customers. however, the final inspection is the responsibility of the customer. All of our customers sign a bill of lading upon completion of a move. It reads “The above services were rendered and all goods delivered in good order, except as noted”. For any insurance company, this document is critical in noting charges on the same day, to ensure the damage occurred that day and that coverage could be provided. Unless payment is made in full as is due we are not required to answer or process a claim. Do not assume you may deduct the money from the final bill to compensate yourself in the event of damage. This is ILLEGAL.

We only move empty freezers/refrigerators. Please empty the contents for safe moving. We are happy to load these last and unload them first.

We only move empty aquariums. (This means empty of water and also empty of all living creatures).

You are responsible for removing the pendulum, chimes, and weights.

If you have a waterbed, we will be glad to move it. However, we are not waterbed technicians. We will follow your instructions, but you must make a final inspection before our crew leaves. We will not send men out for later adjustments. If you prefer to have a waterbed company move your bed, please do so.

Please empty all dresser drawers, file cabinets, and desk drawers. Remember that the furniture will have to be lifted and carried, so if it’s overstuffed and extra heavy it will be more difficult to handle. If the furniture will have to be navigated through challenging obstacles, like a winding staircase, it’s usually best to remove everything, even the drawers, as it may be necessary to flip the furniture on its side or upside-down to get it through.

If the move requires work above and beyond the original order for services. We reserve the right to fulfill other obligations before completing additional work. For example, you have originally ordered services for two (2) rooms move only. On the day of the move, you add additional rooms to move, not mentioned at the time of the request, additional pick-ups/drop-offs, etc., which will significantly increase total move time. To make our schedule on time for the next move, we reserve the right to postpone additionally requested services till our next availability and/or after the completion of other jobs that day.

If the piano has lightweight legs (usually the front), we will not be responsible if they will not go back on if we take them off (sometimes the nut is loose inside the piano and will turn when you try to replace the leg). If the customer elects to leave the legs on, we will not be responsible if damage occurs to them.
