Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to do to prepare for the move?

Be organized and make a list of everything you need to do. You can consult our moving checklist for a detailed list of things you need to do to prepare for the move. The very first step is to call us as EZ Movers, Inc at 1 888 917 8300. Our moving consultant would give you all the information you need for the move. Here are some FAQs:

Do I need to move everything?

No, not at all. In fact, we recommend that you discard all the things that you no longer use and need. You also need to discard all chemical household products responsibly. For interstate moves, we recommend that you consider selling items or donating them instead of moving them.

I’ve removed unwanted goods. Do I have to pack?

No. You don’t have to pack. If you’re a DIY minded person, you can. If not, you can allow our expert crew to handle the cumbersome job. You can choose a full or a partial packing service, depending on your needs and budget. If you decide to do it yourself, you can refer to our moving checklist or packing tips pages for more information.

How long does it take to move?

There’s no clear way to telling you the timeline of the move here because it’s subjective. It depends on where you want to move, the weather, the time of the year, the shipment, loading and unloading times, etc. at EZ Movers, Inc, we like to be prompt but we don’t rush through the move and risk damage to the goods. Long distance moves are less predictable than local ones; the latter usually take about a day to finish.

Do my appliances need special attention?

Yes, that’s why most people don’t bother to ship appliances unless they don’t have any other choice. Most appliances need to be serviced and disconnected properly. All moving parts need to be anchored or removed. You should hire an expert for this. We will provide this service at an extra charge upon your request.

When should I call a moving company?

As early as possible; this is especially if you’re moving during the peak season. This is usually in the summer months as the kids are between grades and the weather is comfortable. If you call well in advance, we might be able to meet the date and time you request.

What happens when I reschedule my move?

Simply give us a call and we’ll check if the dates are available. We’re willing to work with you in that respect.

How long will it take to get my items for a long distance move?

Typically, 3-5 business days from the Requested Delivery Date; not to exceed the appropriate Delivery Spread.

What happens if the moving company does not deliver the items within the Delivery Spread?

A penalty will be assessed for every business day that we are late for long distance moves.

What happens if I go over the estimated cubic footage for a long distance move?

You will be charged the appropriate rate per cubic foot that you go over.

For Local moves:

Will I be charged more if I have more items on the day of the move for local moves?

Since all Local moves are based on time, making small additions will not affect the price. However, adding a
large number of items could increase the time required to do the move; resulting in a higher price.

How much will I be charged if it takes longer than the estimated time for my move?

You will be charged in 15-minute increments based on the hourly rate.
