Tipping is not mandatory, but it's a very common and appreciated gesture for a job well done. Think of it like tipping your waiter. A good rule of thumb is to tip $20 to $40 per mover for a half-day move, or $40 to $60 for a full day. You can also tip a percentage of the total move cost, typically around 5-10%
Most professional moving companies do provide packing materials like boxes, tape, and bubble wrap, but there is usually an additional cost for these supplies. If you want to save some money, you can buy your own supplies or even source free boxes from local stores. If you'd prefer the convenience, ask the mover for a "full-service" option that includes all materials and packing labor.
This is a concern for everyone. A reputable moving company should have insurance to cover your belongings. They should also provide you with a "Bill of Lading," which is your contract and receipt. If damage occurs, you'll need to report it to the moving company as soon as possible. Always ask about their claims process before you hire them.
Life happens! Cancellation policies vary from company to company. Some may charge a cancellation fee, especially if you cancel within 48 hours of the move date. Others may be more flexible. Always read the terms and conditions of your contract and ask about the cancellation policy before you book. Being upfront about this can save you a headache later.
This is a key distinction. Typically, a local move is defined as a move within the same state or within a 50-100 mile radius. These moves are usually charged by the hour. A long-distance move is usually interstate (crossing state lines) and is typically charged by the weight of your shipment. For a local move, you'll work with a local crew who knows your area, which is exactly what you'll find in our network on ZoopGo.
