Should I hire a professional mover or do it myself?

Hiring a professional mover like Royal Moving will result in reduced stress, more efficiency, and less chance your possessions will get damaged. Royal has specialized moving equipment and experienced movers who take all of the emotional and physical drains out of the process. If you add up everything involved in a move, you will often find that hiring a professional mover is less expensive than a DIY transition to a new residence.

Do I need an estimate for my moving needs?

Royal Moving charges a flat, hourly fee, so that there are no surprises at the end of the move. Royal covers the costs of everything from packing, moving, and unpacking in one low hourly rate. If you call us, we will be able to give you a good idea of how long your move will take, so that you can plan your budget accordingly.

Is moving labor the only moving expense I should expect during my move?

Yes, with Royal Moving, labor represents the entire cost of the move because Royal charges an hourly rate, and that hourly rate includes packing supplies, such as shrink wrap, blankets, and tape, as well as fuel expenses, and other charges that you will often find on your bill when using other movers. There are no hidden fees with Royal Moving, just one, flat hourly rate for all of the work you need Royal to do on your moving day.

How can I keep my costs down during my move?

Moving is a science, and Royal Moving is both the scientist and the artist. Each move is different, but we have seen everything. The best way to keep your moving costs down is to be as prepared as possible when Royal's movers arrive on your doorstep, which will reduce the amount of time that your move will take. If Royal Moving is not packing and unpacking your belongings for you, make sure that your boxes are properly taped, labeled, and ready to move when Royal arrives. In addition, Royal will be happy to disassemble furniture that will not fit through your doors and remove doors if required, but if you are looking to cut costs, you could do those things before Royal arrives.

Is valuation (moving insurance) necessary?

The moving crews at Royal Moving are efficient and expert movers who keep your possessions safe during your transition to a new home. In the case of unexpected damage, which is rare, Royal Moving's insurance will protect you. Therefore, there is nothing to worry about because, in one way or another, your belongings are safe.

How far in advance should I schedule my move?

Moving companies with solid reputations like Royal Moving stay busy, so we recommend that you schedule your move as soon as you know your move-out and move-in date. It is very important that you at least contact Royal two weeks before your move, but two months is better.

What days or dates are the best for moving?

The lowest demand for moving is during the middle of the week and in the middle of the month. Most people move at the end or the beginning of the month, and the most convenient days are on the weekends because people do not have to miss any work. Schedule your move well in advance if you are moving on a weekend or at the beginning or end of a month because the demand is high and the schedule fills up quickly.

Will movers place my possessions in the room in which they belong?

Yes, label all of your boxes and belongings to ensure they end up in the room where you want them to go. A simple labeling process is sufficient, such as "Kitchen", "Living Room", "Garage", and "Master Bedroom". Label your boxes on the tops and sides.

Should I remove clothes and other items from dresser drawers and desk drawers?

You can leave items in drawers during your move unless the items will roll around or shift while the moving crew transports the piece of furniture, which can result in damage. In addition, if the dresser is large or heavy, it is best to empty the drawers.
