Why is an accurate inventory important?

It is essential that Miracle Movers knows your exact inventory to ensure an accurate estimate and efficient moving process. Knowing the items being moved allows us to allocate the right resources, such as the appropriate size truck and the number of movers, and plan for any special handling requirements. This helps prevent surprises on moving days and ensures that your belongings are handled carefully. Additionally, knowing your exact inventory lets us provide you with the most accurate valuation options and insurance coverage, giving you peace of mind throughout the moving process.

Do you offer junk and unwanted furniture removal services?

Yes, Miracle Movers provides junk and unwanted furniture removal services. We’ll help you declutter by responsibly disposing of items you no longer need.

What insurance or valuation options do you offer?

We offer two valuation options: Released Valuation, which covers items at $0.60 per pound at no extra cost, and Full Value Protection, which covers the repair or replacement of damaged items for an additional fee. Please discuss these options with our team to choose the best coverage for your needs.

Do you offer storage services?

Should I leave clothes in my dresser drawers?

It’s best to remove clothes from dressers to ensure the furniture is easier and safer to move. We recommend packing clothes separately in boxes or suitcases.

Should I use new or used boxes for packing?

While used boxes can save money, new boxes provide better protection and are less likely to have weak spots. For the safety of your belongings, we recommend using new boxes. You can purchase new packing supplies from Miracle Movers and have them delivered to your door for free, just ask your moving consultant.

Should I be packed and ready when the movers arrive?

Yes, being fully packed when movers arrive ensures a quicker and more efficient moving process. If you need packing assistance, we offer professional packing services as well.

How do you charge for packing services?

We charge for packing services based on the time it takes to pack your items and the materials used. This ensures you only pay for the services and supplies you need.

How should I pack my lamps?

Pack the lamp base and shade in separate boxes to prevent damage. Wrap each piece carefully with packing paper or bubble wrap for added protection.

Should I clear the house and walkways of clutter before the move?

Yes, keeping the house and walkways clear of clutter helps our movers work more efficiently and safely. It also reduces the risk of accidents and damage.

Do you offer labor-only services for loading or unloading trucks?

Yes, we offer labor-only services for loading and unloading trucks. Our professional movers can help ensure your items are handled safely and efficiently.

Can I use my own blankets, or should I buy yours?

You are welcome to use your own blankets to protect furniture. However, our professional-grade moving blankets offer superior protection. You can choose whichever option best suits your needs. For all local moves, we provide blankets free of charge.

What is your cancellation policy?

We require a $100 deposit to reserve your move date for local moves and 50% down for long distance moves. If you need to cancel or reschedule your move, please do so at least 48 hours in advance for a local move or 7 days in advance for a long distance move to avoid losing your deposit.

How should I handle moving with pets?

Moving can be stressful for pets. Keep them in a quiet room or with a friend during the move, and ensure they have a safe, comfortable space in your new home. Transport pets in your own vehicle if possible.

Any tips for moving with kids?

Moving can be an exciting adventure for kids. Involve them in the process, keep their favorite toys and comfort items accessible, and ensure they have a safe space to play during the move.

What should I include in an essentials kit for a long-distance move?

Pack a kit with items you’ll need immediately upon arrival, such as toiletries, a change of clothes, important documents, chargers, basic kitchen items, and any medications. This ensures you have everything you need while unpacking.

What items does Miracle Movers assemble and disassemble?
