FAQ

Should I opt for professional moving services or manage the move myself?

Choosing professional moving services like Fixed Price Movers significantly reduces stress, increases efficiency, and minimizes the risk of damage to your belongings. Our team is equipped with specialized moving gear and boasts extensive experience, ensuring a seamless transition to your new location. Considering all factors, professional movers often provide more value and savings than a self-managed move, especially when you count on our comprehensive solutions covering the greater Los Angeles area.

Do I need to get an estimate for my move?

At Fixed Price Movers, we pride ourselves on transparency and affordability, offering a straightforward, flat, hourly rate for our services. This approach ensures there are no surprises when it comes to billing. A quick call to our team at (888) 290-5103 can provide you with an estimated duration for your move, allowing you to budget efficiently for your moving, packing, and storage needs.

Are there additional expenses beyond moving labor I should anticipate?

With Fixed Price Movers, the answer is straightforward: our hourly rate encompasses all your moving expenses, including packing materials (like shrink wrap and boxes), fuel costs, and other typical charges. Our commitment is to offer a transparent, all-inclusive service with no hidden fees, ensuring your move within or from the Los Angeles area is as smooth as possible.

How can I minimize costs during my move?

Maximizing preparation before our team’s arrival can significantly reduce the time and cost of your move. If you’re packing yourself, ensure your boxes are well-organized, labeled, and sealed. While our team can disassemble furniture and manage bulky items, handling these tasks yourself can further reduce costs. Remember, our goal is to make your move efficient and stress-free.

Is valuation (moving insurance) important?

Our skilled moving crew at Fixed Price Movers is trained to handle your belongings with the utmost care. However, we also offer comprehensive insurance coverage for the unexpected, providing peace of mind that your items are protected throughout the moving process.

How far in advance should I schedule my move?

Given the demand for reliable moving services in the Los Angeles area, we recommend booking your move with Fixed Price Movers as soon as your dates are confirmed. Ideally, contact us at least two weeks in advance; however, two months’ notice ensures the best preparation and scheduling flexibility.

What are the best days or dates for moving?

Mid-week and mid-month moves typically see lower demand, potentially offering more flexibility and convenience. Weekends and month-begin/end dates are peak times due to work schedules. Early booking is advised to secure your preferred slot.

Will movers organize my belongings in the designated rooms?

Yes, clear labeling of your boxes and items as per room designation ensures our team places everything exactly where you want it. Simple labels like “Kitchen” or “Master Bedroom” on the top and sides of boxes streamline the process.

Should I empty drawers before the move?

It’s best to empty drawers of items that may shift, roll, or break during transport. Light, non-fragile items in sturdy furniture can remain. For heavy furniture, emptying drawers can prevent damage and make moving easier.

What items cannot be moved by your crew?

We adhere to safety regulations and cannot move hazardous materials, including propane tanks, firearms, paint, and aerosols. These items pose risks of ignition or explosion in transit.

What if I’m not ready by my moving date?

Contact Fixed Price Movers as soon as possible if you anticipate delays. We can discuss solutions, such as additional packing assistance or rescheduling, although these may affect your move’s cost.

Can my family or friends assist on moving day to reduce costs?

While we appreciate the eagerness to help, our professional movers are trained to handle the move efficiently, equipped with the right tools and techniques. Assistance in preparation, such as packing or disassembling furniture, is where family and friends can be most beneficial.

Can I travel in the moving truck with my belongings?

For safety and liability reasons, customers cannot ride in the moving truck. You can follow the truck to your new location, ensuring you arrive together.

Do you offer cleaning services for my old home?

Fixed Price Movers ensures no mess is left behind, with additional cleaning services available upon request. Contact us to discuss these options and any associated fees.

What happens if there’s bad weather on my moving day?

Our crew is prepared to move under various weather conditions, equipped with materials to protect your belongings. We only delay moves if safety concerns arise, ensuring your move is as smooth as possible, regardless of the weather.
