Q: Should you tip movers?

• <div><p>Tipping movers is not mandatory, and most professional companies do not expect it. However, it is a common way to show appreciation for their hard work and the care they take with your belongings and home. A standard tip is between 10% and 20% of your total bill, split among the crew, or about $10 per mover per hour, tipped individually. It's an especially good idea to tip if the movers work in difficult weather, handle specialty items like pianos or pool tables, provide extra packing services, or go above and beyond your expectations.</p></div>

Q: What is the best option for cross-country moving?

• <div><p>Ultimately, the best option for your cross-country move depends on your budget, timeline, and the level of convenience you want. For a speedy and hassle-free experience, you can spend a bundle on full-service movers who take care of everything from packing to transport. Budget-friendly options include container services that allow you to pack your stuff at your leisure. </p></div>

Q: Can I change my mind about moving into a new apartment?

• <div><p>Up to a point, you can change your mind about moving into a new apartment. But once you&rsquo;ve signed a lease, you are under certain obligations that can make changing your mind very expensive, at the very least. That&rsquo;s one reason it&rsquo;s important to do a walkthrough and to read all documents carefully before signing.</p></div>

Q: Should I get long-distance moving insurance?

• <div><p>Although purchasing moving insurance will add to the total cost of your move, it might take a weight off your shoulders. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/moving-insurance-worth-cost.htm">Moving insurance</a> covers roughly 60 cents per pound. If you&rsquo;re moving several antique or fragile items, you may want to invest in moving insurance covering damage or item losses.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to move into an apartment?

• <div><p>How long it takes to move into an apartment depends on many factors, including the amount of belongings you&rsquo;re bringing with you, how accessible the apartment is (do you have an elevator, or will you be walking up and down several flights of stairs with boxes?), and whether or not you&rsquo;re hiring a moving company. Having said that, for a local one-bedroom apartment, it usually takes a moving company between two and five hours to move you in.</p></div>
