Q: What is the best way to transport plants when moving?

• <div><p>The best way to transport plants when moving is to prep them properly, cover the soil, pack them tightly in boxes, and take extra precautions depending on state plant regulations, weather, and distance. You should be sure to fill in the gaps around your plants to minimize movement during transit and plan to unpack them shortly after arriving at your destination. </p></div>

Q: How do movers handle fragile items?

• <div><p>Professional movers use dedicated packing materials like specialty boxes for artwork, TVs, clothes and other things that need to be moved with care. If professional movers are packing for you, they use foam, bubble wrap, and other cushioning for the journey. You can ask questions about how movers will handle specific items when you are getting a price estimate.</p></div>

Q: Can you lay a refrigerator down to move it?

• <div><p>You can lay a refrigerator down to move it with a lot of padding underneath, but it&rsquo;s best to transport it upright to keep the cooling refrigerant and compressor oil in place. These elements can cause blockages if not given time to settle before turning the fridge on. </p><p>If you need to lay the fridge down to move it, position the fridge door hinges so that doors won&rsquo;t open while moving.</p></div>

Q: How many moving pods do I need to move a 4-bedroom house?

• <div><p>Moving pods are most often available in three sizes: 8, 12, and 16 feet. To move a four-bedroom house, you&rsquo;ll likely need two 16-foot moving pods. Of course, the exact answer depends more on your house&rsquo;s square footage and the amount of belongings you have than on the number of bedrooms in the house. For example, moving a small four-bedroom house may only require one 16-foot pod and one 8-foot pod, but moving a large four-bedroom house may require more than two 16-foot pods.</p></div>

Q: Can I pack personal belongings in my car during transport?

• <div><p>Generally, you should avoid using your car as a storage space if you&rsquo;re using a shipping company.Your items could get lost or damaged during transport, and most shipping companies won&rsquo;t cover the cost of damage. Contact the shipping company and ask about their policy ahead of time. Some companies may not allow you to leave anything but necessary paperwork in the car. </p></div>

Fun guy to spend a day with and went beyond the expectation, all for a fraction of the cost of the other quotes I received. Would recommend if you need a few extra hands for a move."
