If you use a credit card there will be a 4% service fee, so please budget that into your expenses. We do NOT accept checks of any kind.

TV PREPARATION PROTOCOL

Please note that as TVs have gotten thinner and thinner, they have also become WAY more fragile and prone to damage during a move. For this reason we require that you prepare your TV in the following way:

• IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING: Order a TV Box Kit from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/TVMovingBoxFoamScreen/dp/B08FZ4WLGY/ref=sr_1_6crid=2MOW5PZZE8YZ9&keywords=tv+box+kit+moving+box&qid=1682974612&sprefix=tv+box+kit+moving+box%2Caps%2C95&sr=8-6

or Uhaul: https://www.uhaul.com/MovingSupplies/Boxes/Electronics-Boxes/Flat-Panel-TV-Kit/?id=16343

• Leave your TV plugged in until the movers arrive. As soon as they arrive, turn it on, and show them that it’s in working order, and then as they load the truck, pack your TV carefully in its TV Box.

• When the TV comes off the truck during the unload, please plug it in immediately to make sure that it has not been damaged during the move.

This is the only way that we can safely move the TVs being manufactured today. Our insurance does not cover damage to TVs that have not been properly packed in boxes, nor does it cover TVs that we have not inspected prior to / following the move. Please let us know if you have any questions.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN ESTIMATE BASED UPON THE INFORMATION YOU’VE PROVIDED, OUR EXPERIENCE, AND OUR BEST JUDGEMENT. THIS IS NOT A QUOTE OR GUARANTEE.

TO DO OUR JOB RESPONSIBLY: We ask that everything is boxed as best as possible prior to the move. We ask that all contents of furniture be emptied prior to the move for the structural integrity of the furniture and safety of the crew. Loose and unpacked items may add time to the job.

ELEVATOR RESTRICTIONS:

You must notify us of any elevator time restrictions prior to confirming your move with us. This will ensure that we can meet those time restrictions to the best of our ability. If we are not notified of the time restrictions prior to confirming your move we will not be held responsible for meeting the time restriction.

We will also need a fax or email in order to send the Certificate of Insurance to the building.
