ESTIMATES - all online estimates are approximate, and not guaranteed. We base them on our aggregate experience serving the similar residencies. Every move is unique in nature, and therefore we do not provide flat-rate estimates. We do provide all-inclusive flat-rates estimates only upon visual inspection of your household.

SERVICE MINIMUMS - Our Los Angeles Moving Company has set minimums that must be met for service to begin. Most of the sub-peak days require 3 hours minimum in order to be scheduled. Saturdays and jobs in certain cities, and peak-days require 4 hours minimum. Ask our booking agent what we dates we can offer you in order to qualify for 3 hours minimum.

CANCELLATION POLICY - Please see our revised cancellations policy here.

DOUBLE DRIVING TIME - Moving companies charge double drive time (DDT) between the loading and unloading points to avoid confusion that may arise from charging drive time to and from the company’s office. The CPUC (California Public Utilities Commission) has made DDT the standard way of charging for local moves. This charge covers the cost of movers traveling to the location of pick-up and back to the office from the drop-off location.

It is available at California Public Utilities Commission website for free.

PARTICLE BOARD FURNITURE - Our movers will maximize the protection of your furniture during the moving process. However, we cannot be held responsible for any damage done to press-board or compressed particle furniture, because furniture of that type was not built to stand up to vibration and pressure that occurs during the move. Items that are notorious for damage when transported as a whole (assembled) unit include particle-board furniture manufactured by Ikea. Additionally, bulky bed frames, TV/entertainment centers, and kitchen cabinets are prone to damage, unless taken apart. The only safe method of transportation of such furniture is to dis-assemble it to individual pieces.

It is customer’s responsibility to arrange delivery of equipment to our warehouse, unless you are re-ordering us for the subsequent move.

PAYMENT - Payment is due in full upon completion of the move. Our movers accept cash or credit/debit cards. Our hourly rate continues until we are paid in full, so being ready will save you money.
