Question 1

How do you take the stress out of moving?

Accepted Answer

There are two keys to a stress-free move – timing and planning. It is important to start the process as early as possible. Even when you have to deal with a last-minute move, planning is important. When you have a plan set in place and diligently follow it you can rest assured that you have handled everything necessary for a smooth moving process.
Get everyone in the household involved in the move from the first stages of planning. Make sure that everyone has a role. Using the Blue Ox Moving and Storage Moving Checklist is a great way to ensure that your move involves the least amount of stress possible.
Do your research & select a moving company that is reliable and meets your needs!

Question 9

Can you move my refrigerators and freezers?

Accepted Answer

Refrigerators & freezers should be cleaned out before your move.
While we will disconnect and reconnect (as long as it's not gas) we are not certified appliance experts, so once everything is reconnected in the new place, we suggest starting a quick wash while guys are still on site to make sure all the connections are correct and working properly.
We are not able to disconnect any gas appliances. We recommend calling an appliance person.

Question 10

Do I need to empty my dressers and drawers?

Accepted Answer

If you have a dresser that contains only linens or clothing, then you may leave those items in the drawers.
We will shrink wrap the clothing within drawers before moving the items.
Heavier dressers, chests of drawers, or pieces made with marble tops MUST be emptied due to the weight of the item.
