ASKED QUESTIONS

When It comes to local moving, the do it yourself approach is very popular, because it might seem like you can save money. But some tasks are better left to professionals. Think about it, do you have a group of reliable friends that can safely lift heavy furniture, like a 200-pound armoire? Also, you will still have to rent the moving truck in order to transport all of your items, regardless of the distance between your current and new home. With a moving company, you get movers with the truck, specialized moving equipment, wrapping and padding materials and insurance – everything already included in the price. You will get the team of professionals who will safely and efficiently move all of your sentimental and valuable belongings.
First-hand experience is always the best, so if you know that your mom, sister, neighbor or friend used some moving company – ask them for recommendation. If not, don’t worry, there is another way. The most popular one is to type to your Google search “movers near me” or “moving company Foster city”. After you do that, you should check at least 5 moving companies on top – go through their Yelp reviews, check their website, photographs. If the moving company looks good enough, call them and feel free to ask any question you might have.
As a local moving company, we are getting requests for the same day jobs, jobs for tomorrow, two days from now etc. We are always willing to assist and to try to do our best to accommodate every move and every request customer might have. But, if you want to have stress-free moving experience, you should call at least a week before your move. That’s how you will secure the date that works the best for you, you will have enough time to prepare for the move, to pack your items etc. That is why we recommend everyone to call as soon as they know their moving date. There is no such thing as calling too early.
Sales representatives hired in any moving company are trained to provide you with the best answer to this question. Every move is for itself, so be honest with your sales representative so they can do their part of the job, because that is the only way you will be satisfied with your service.

If you have something extraordinary, it’s the best to tell that to your sales representative so they can double check if they can move it.

Movers Foster city will provide you with free usage of wardrobe boxes. Wardrobe boxes are used for hanging clothes, while the rest of the clothes should be packed in the regular moving boxes.
You should always check if the moving company you would like to use is insured. If they are not, try to find another moving company. If the moving company is insured, then you don’t have to worry. So, no panic, because they will cover any damage based on their insurance policy. If something breaks during the move, call your moving company, ask for a customer care representative and explain to them what happened. Customer care representative is there to help you with any kind of problem you might have during the move.
Every licensed moving company has to be insured. With Movers Foster City, basic coverage insurance is included in the price.
