Multiple drop off locations

Can we drop off at multiple locations?
Yes we can!
That is the short answer!
The devil is in the details they say.
So the key to this being successful is organization!! Many customers have items going to a new residence, a storage, their mother's house, a consignment shop and dispose of somethings.
First, purge all you can ahead of time. If you have a junk pick up day in your area coming up, utilize this service. Ours only comes once a quarter, so you need to plan accordingly. You can also call charitable organizations who may be able to use the items. We collect items for Youth Build Louisville and take them to a needy client weekly. Verify the donation location will take the items, their hours to accept items and the process.
Second, verify the consignment shop will take your items, their hours to accept items and the process.
Third, LABEL EVERYTHING! I suggest a color coded system. Blue for new house, pink for storage, and so forth. Then post a legend at all the doorways. The truck will need to be loaded in the reverse order of delivery.
Next, work with your moving consultant to determine the most logical order for items to be delivered. First in = last off! You will need to take the route & distances, the volume of each category and the hours of operation for any commercial locations including storages.
If it is more than 1 truck of goods consider breaking the move into multiple days.
And at the unload, BE PRESENT! Not only physically, but mentally. Believe it or not, some people go in a room and close the door or get on the phone. The movers need to know where you want to put the goods!
It helps to label the rooms at the unload. Obviously, everyone knows what the kitchen looks like, but what if the house has a mother-in-law suite with a kitchenette? Family room vs den? Labeling the rooms and providing a layout saves time and money!
HOW DO I FILE A CLAIM? We have an internal process for handling claims. The best thing you can do to protect your interest is to document via writing and photos as much as possible. Keep all packaging etc.
MOVING DURING THE HOLIDAYS Moving during the holidays is never ideal, but life does not take a break for our personal celebrations. While we do not move on Christmas Day, we will accommodate other days as necessary.
There are items that you may need immediately upon arrival at your new home. To keep track of it, we recommend getting a clear tote and putting it in your car. These are things like medications, next day work clothes, remote controls to tvs etc.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SCREWS FROM MY FURNITURE? Many times beds and other furniture items are assembled with screws or other hardware. We recommend that you have some sealable baggies available to put them in and label them per item (kind bed, queen bed, Mary's bed, Tommy's dresser mirror screws) and so forth.
DO WE MOVE HOT TUBS? We do move hot tubs, but much like safes, we need to know all the details at both locations as well as it needs to be disconnected and empty prior to our arrival.
WE DON'T WORK ON THANKSGIVING SO THAT OUR EMPLOYEES CAN ENJOY THEIR TIME WITH THEIR FAMILIES!! ENJOY YOUR FAMILIES!!
DO YOU MOVE SAFES? I get this question a lot. And yes, we do. But we need to know a lot more about the safe than, "it's heavy"!! Make/brand Model Height Weight Depth Stairs at load address? Stairs at unload address? Going over grass at either address? Will it be empty? Does the door come off? Basically I need to know everything about it so that I can plan and have proper resources.
DO YOU MOVE MOTORCYCLES? We can accommodate moving motorcycles both locally and long distance however we need to schedule this appropriately and well in advance.
DO YOU MOVE INTERNATIONALLY? We do not do international moves but we can prepare the items for shipping for you.
HOW DO I PAY FOR MY MOVE? We take most methods of payment. If paying with credit or debit, that can be provided to the office the day before. If it is to be invoiced, that needs to be approved in advance. If paying with cash, that will need to be discussed in advance as well.
