Q: How do I ship furniture to another state?

• <div><p>There are generally three ways to ship furniture to another state: hiring professional movers, using consolidated freight, or through parcel shipping. Professional movers will generally pack your boxes in a truck and transport them to a storage facility or directly to your home. </p><p>A consolidated freight service will pack, load, and ship your items, but this is best to use for one or two pieces since your items will take longer to be delivered and will share truck space with other items. Parcel shipping such as UPS and FedEx is best for smaller items since there are size limits, and you&rsquo;ll have to drop the boxes off at a local branch.</p></div>

Q: What does move date mean?

• <div><p>Move date means the day that you are relocating your items from one space to another. If you&rsquo;re renting, your move out date is usually the same as the last day of your lease, but it won&rsquo;t necessarily be the same as your move-in date to another property. </p></div>

Q: How do I prepare to move a piano?

• <div><p>To prepare for moving a piano, start by documenting its current condition with photos in case of any damage during the move. Secure the piano's lid and wrap the instrument, including its keys and pedals, with bubble wrap and moving blankets for protection. Note that if you have hired professional piano movers, they may handle this step for you.</p><p>Next, prepare the space. Measure any tight spaces or doorways to ensure the piano will fit through. Clear a wide path from the piano's location to the exterior door, removing any furniture or obstacles. It is also helpful to prop open doors to make the exit easier.</p><p>On moving day, ensure the moving truck can park as close to the exit as possible. For safety, keep children and pets away from the moving area to prevent accidents or distractions.</p></div>

Q: Do movers disassemble bed frames?

• <div><p>Some movers will disassemble bed frames and include this in their price. Others will charge extra for this service, so always check before booking. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-disassemble-furniture-move.htm">Disassembling the furniture yourself</a> is one way to lower the cost of moving a bed frame if you have the tools, the time, and the extra bodies to help you complete the task safely.</p></div>

Q: Which dolly is best for moving a couch?

• <div><p>The best bet for most large items is a four-wheel dolly, but it depends on the size and shape of the couch. This tool provides extra stability for heavy loads and enhances maneuverability, which is useful when squeezing through a narrow doorway. Additionally, four-wheel designs reduce the effort required to move the dolly, which minimizes the number of required helpers.</p></div>

"The move was professionally done. Members of the moving team were pleasant and informative. They carefully assessed the best way to get the piano in my house. Unfortunately, an accident occurred when moving the piano out of the seller's house, leaving some gashes in the wood along the front of the piano. I was not there and the seller did not see what happened, so have no idea why the damage occurred. The company was most gracious in giving me a reduced moving fee for the damage. This should help in covering costs to try to hide the wood damage."
