What do I need to do on moving day?
If you are doing the packing, finish the packing and have all boxes sealed and labeled. Remember the lamps, shades, pictures all need boxes as well. We can pack those if needed.
Any money, jewelry or important documents should be moved in your car. We cannot move these items.
Strip the beds and pack the sheets, blankets. (If you need last minute boxes let us know the morning before your move) empty and disconnect all the appliances such as the refrigerator, washer, and dryer. Have your Flat screens disconnected and off the wall. If you still have the original box, have that ready for us if you are unable to pack it.If you need a TV crate, we have them available.
Cribs must be disassembled by the owner; our liability will not cover disassembly/assembly of cribs
Weight sets, Universal gyms, treadmills, etc. must be broken down to sizes we can carry and fit through doors.
Shed or garage items should be organized into what goes and stays. Tools need to be packed, large tools like table saws should have the motor secured and the blades removed and packed. Any sharp tool should have the blades removed or covered in cardboard to protect your furniture and your movers.
Hot tubs have to be drained and disconnected.
Gasoline and similar products should be drained from lawn mowers, snow blowers, etc.
We cannot move propane tanks but are more than happy to disconnect them and place them in your car.
Gun cabinets and safes, must be empty. You must move your guns and ammunition.
How is payment made?
We accept Mastercard, Visa, bank checks, money orders and cash. If you want to pay by credit card, please call our office to arrange this, keep in mind we are not in the office on Saturdays. Why the hassle? For your security we want to protect your credit information, so ...one place and no extra eyes.
Should I tip the movers and how much?
Tips are not required but are much appreciated by your movers. On a local job, most customers are tipping $20-$30 per mover. On a long distance job, you have movers that typically are there to help load and the driver and possibly a couple of other actually deliver your items. Tip the helpers as you would a local move and save a few extra dollars for the crew that delivers.
Can I ride with the movers?
No
Will the movers place my furniture and boxes where I want?
Yes, everything will be placed where you direct us to.
Will they set up the beds and attach mirrors to dressers?
Yes we will, but there are conditions. If we did not take it apart, we will make every effort to assemble it but no guarantees if there are parts missing. Sometimes we find the bolts or screws have stripped and are unsafe to use again.
I have a huge appliance, cabinet, "thing" that needed extra workers, cranes, and tools to get into the house. Will you move that?
Call us please so we can figure out the best solution, please do not surprise us.
What else should I be aware of?
The movers may ask for your cell phone number so they can call when they're getting close to the off load.
The movers may ask if they can take your picture. This is for a photo testimonial and it helps them get the recognition they deserve from the office.
The movers work for BD Movers and if they accepted a job on the side, would be fired.
All our workers have been in my house, I trust them in yours as well. Have a great move and thank you!
Tony Baumer, Owner
