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

No, moving labor is just one component of the overall moving expenses. In addition to labor costs, there are other factors to consider, such as packing materials, transportation, and potential storage fees. At Cheap Movers LA, we provide transparent and detailed estimates, covering all aspects of your move. This ensures you have a comprehensive understanding of the costs involved. Trust us to handle your move efficiently and affordably. Contact Cheap Movers LA for a detailed breakdown of your moving expenses.

How can I keep my costs down during my move?

Keeping costs down during a move is possible with a few smart strategies. Firstly, declutter and donate items you no longer need, as fewer belongings mean lower transportation costs. Plan your move during off-peak seasons if possible, as rates tend to be more competitive. Opt for a mid-week moving day, and consider flexible dates for better pricing. Pack efficiently on your own or hire professionals for cost-effective packing solutions. At Cheap Movers LA, we work with you to find budget-friendly options for a smooth and affordable move. Contact us for personalized advice on minimizing your moving costs.

Should I hire a professional mover or do it myself?

Deciding between hiring a professional mover or undertaking a DIY move depends on various factors. If you value convenience, time savings, and reducing stress, a professional moving service like Cheap Movers LA is a great choice. Our experienced team ensures a smooth and efficient relocation, handling all aspects from packing to transportation. While a DIY move may seem cost-effective initially, hidden expenses and the physical demands of moving can add up. Professional movers offer expertise, efficiency, and peace of mind. Contact Cheap Movers LA to discuss your specific needs and let us make your move hassle-free.

Is valuation (moving insurance) necessary?

While valuation, also known as moving insurance, is not mandatory, it’s highly recommended for added protection during your move. Most standard moving contracts provide minimal coverage, and opting for additional valuation ensures your belongings are financially safeguarded against unexpected events like accidents or damages. At Cheap Movers LA, we prioritize the security of your possessions. We offer various valuation options to suit your needs, providing peace of mind throughout the moving process. Contact us to explore the best valuation choices for your upcoming move.

How far in advance should I schedule my move?

To secure your preferred moving date and ensure a smooth relocation process, it’s advisable to schedule your move at least 4-6 weeks in advance. This timeframe allows ample time for coordination, efficient planning, and addressing any specific requirements you may have. However, we understand that moving circumstances can vary, and we strive to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. Contact Cheap Movers LA today to discuss your moving timeline and secure the best available slot for your upcoming move.

What days or dates are the best for moving?

The ideal days for moving can vary based on your specific needs and preferences. Weekdays, especially midweek (Tuesday through Thursday), are generally less busy than weekends. Additionally, avoiding peak moving seasons, such as summer months, can help secure better availability and potentially lower costs. To determine the optimal moving day for your situation, contact Cheap Movers LA, and our team will work with you to find a convenient and cost-effective solution tailored to your schedule.

Contact us to discuss the ideal timing for your specific move and secure the best possible experience.

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

For a smoother and safer move, we recommend emptying dresser and desk drawers before moving. This reduces the weight of the furniture, preventing damage and ensuring the safety of both your belongings and our movers. If the items are lightweight and non-fragile, you may leave them inside, but heavy or breakable items should be packed separately to avoid any issues during transit.

Are movers obligated to move my goods for the estimate they quote?

It depends on whether the estimate provided is a non-binding or a binding estimate. A mover is not required to provide an estimate to a shipper. However, if a shipper requests an estimate over the telephone or Internet, and the mover calls it an “estimate”, it must be in writing. The mover may provide a non-binding or binding estimate and the estimate itself must clearly state whether it is non-binding or binding.

What do the following estimate terms mean: non-binding estimate, 110% provision/rule, binding estimate?

Non-binding Estimate
A non-binding estimate is only an approximate cost, it is NOT binding. It is based on the weight of the goods to be transported and the distance they will be moved. Since a non-binding estimate should be reasonably accurate and provide the shipper with a general idea of the cost of packing and moving the goods, a mover should physically review the household goods (by scheduling an onsite estimate) to be transported. Non-binding estimates should cover the goods and services listed on the estimate. If you add items or request additional services, the mover may void the estimate or revise it. The non-binding estimate must be in writing and state that it is non-binding.

110% Provision/Rule
If the final charges exceed the non-binding estimated amount, the mover must deliver the household goods upon payment of the estimated amount plus 10% of that amount. The mover must then defer the balance due on the charges for 30 days. However, the mover may collect payment for unexpected charges or services upon delivery.

Binding Estimate
Binding estimates must be in writing and are usually based on constructive weight. Movers may use other terms to designate a binding estimate or set price, but all such estimates shall have clearly indicated on their faces that the estimate is binding on the mover.

Is Cheap Movers LA available for local and long-distance moves?

Yes, we provide services for both local and long-distance moves. Whether you’re relocating within Los Angeles or moving across state lines, Cheap Movers LA is here to ensure a smooth and affordable moving experience.

What information and paperwork is the mover required to provide?

At the time of the Estimate and/or prior to the execution of the Order for Service:

  • A copy of its written non-binding or binding estimate.
  • A copy of the U.S. DOT publication, “Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move”.
  • Neutral dispute settlement/arbitration program information.
  • Telephone number for the mover for inquires and complaints.

At the time when the Order for Service has been executed:

  • A copy of the order for service after it has been signed and dated by you and the mover.

At loading time at the time of pick-up:

  • A copy of the Bill of Lading/Freight Bill (and scale weight tickets when freight bill has been paid).

At unloading time at the time of delivery:

  • A copy of the completed Bill of Lading/Freight Bill (and scale weight tickets when freight bill has been paid).

  • Declutter and Organize: Moving quickly requires making swift decisions about what to keep and what to let go. Sort your belongings into categories like “keep,” “donate/sell,” and “discard.” This will help streamline your packing process and reduce the number of items to move.
  • Pack Efficiently: Use a systematic approach to pack your belongings quickly. Start with essentials and frequently used items, then move on to less essential items. Label boxes clearly to facilitate unpacking and organization at your new place.
  • Hire Professional Movers: If time is of the essence, consider hiring a professional moving company. They have the expertise and resources to handle quick moves efficiently. Research and select a reputable moving company that can accommodate your timeline.
  • Enlist Help: Reach out to friends, family, or neighbors for assistance. Their help with packing, loading, or other tasks can significantly speed up the moving process.

Finding the best local movers requires some research and consideration of several factors. Here are some steps you can follow to find reliable and reputable local movers:

  • Verify Credentials: Ensure that the local movers you’re considering are properly licensed and insured. You can typically check a moving company’s license and insurance status on your state’s regulatory website.

What is the least expensive day to move?

The cost of moving can vary depending on several factors, including the time of year, location, and demand. While there isn’t a specific day that guarantees the lowest moving costs, there are certain considerations that can help you potentially save money:

  • Avoid Peak Moving Seasons: Generally, the summer months (May to September) and weekends tend to be the busiest and most expensive times for moving. If possible, consider scheduling your move during the off-peak seasons (fall or winter) or on weekdays to potentially secure lower rates.
  • Weekdays: Moving companies often have higher demand on weekends when people are off work and have more flexibility. If you can plan your move on a weekday, you may have a better chance of securing a lower rate as moving companies tend to have more availability and may offer discounted rates to fill their schedules.
  • Mid-Month or Mid-Week: Moving during the middle of the month or mid-week can also work in your favor. Many people prefer moving at the beginning or end of the month, coinciding with lease agreements or mortgage payments. By choosing a less popular time, you may have better access to moving companies and potentially negotiate better rates.
  • Flexibility: Being flexible with your moving dates can increase your chances of finding cost-saving opportunities. If you can accommodate the schedule of the moving company and choose dates that are less in demand, you may have more negotiating power when it comes to pricing.
  • Plan Ahead: Give yourself plenty of time to research and book your moving company. Last-minute bookings often come with higher costs due to limited availability and higher demand.

What Month is the cheapest Month to move?

The cost of moving can vary depending on several factors, including the time of year, location, and demand. While there isn’t a specific month that guarantees the lowest moving costs universally, there are certain considerations that can help you potentially save money:

  • Off-Peak Seasons: Generally, the summer months (May to September) are considered the peak moving season when demand is high, and prices may be higher. To potentially secure lower moving costs, consider scheduling your move during the off-peak seasons, such as fall or winter.
  • Avoid Holidays and Weekends: Moving around holidays and weekends can be more expensive due to increased demand and limited availability. If possible, try to avoid scheduling your move during major holidays or on weekends when moving companies tend to be busier. Opting for weekdays or non-holiday periods can increase your chances of finding more competitive rates.
  • Mid-Month: Many people prefer moving at the beginning or end of the month, often coinciding with lease agreements, rental contracts, or mortgage payments. Choosing a mid-month moving date may provide you with more flexibility and potentially lower costs.
  • Plan Ahead: Giving yourself ample time to plan and book your move can help you find better deals. Last-minute bookings can be more expensive due to limited availability and higher demand. That’s why we, as Cheap Movers LA, offer you more affordable prices.
