Q: Are moving costs expensed or capitalized?

• <div><p>To treat office moving costs as capital expenses, which means recording them as assets, they must meet certain rules: they need to be essential for the business to keep running, directly related to the move, reasonable, and documented properly with invoices and contracts. These costs can include packing, transportation, and setting up the new office. Once these expenses are capitalized, they're treated like assets on the books and gradually accounted for over time through depreciation or amortization. </p></div>

Q: What questions should I ask a moving company?

• <div><p>Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including: </p><ul><li><p>Is there anything your company won&rsquo;t move? </p></li><li><p>Does workers&rsquo; compensation cover the crew?</p></li><li><p>Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture? </p></li><li><p>Are there packing restrictions?</p></li><li><p>Can you guarantee my delivery date?</p></li><li><p>Can you provide references? </p></li><li><p>What do you charge extra for?</p></li><li><p>What is your cancellation policy?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How much does a 1,000-mile move cost?

• <div><p>The cost of a long-distance move depends on several factors, including whether you hire movers, use a moving truck, and the size of your move. For a 1,000-mile move, you&rsquo;ll need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hire-interstate-moving-company.htm">hire interstate movers</a> and ask them for an estimate based on the details of your move. Keep in mind that a 1,000-mile move will likely cost <b>$10,000 or more</b>.</p></div>

Q: Do I need moving insurance?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/moving-insurance-worth-cost.htm">Moving insurance</a> helps protect your belongings from damage or loss during the moving process. This policy can help reimburse you either part of or the total amount of your belongings that become damaged during the moving process. Moving insurance has three main options: full value protection, released value protection, and third-party or separate liability coverage. Speak with your moving company to determine what is covered under each policy and their cost to determine the best fit for your needs. </p></div>

Q: Should you disassemble furniture before moving?

• <div><p>Not all furniture needs to be disassembled. Smaller items or pieces that are easily transportable might not require disassembly. You only need to worry about assembling large pieces, like a sofa, in order to fit through existing door frames and hallways. Before you disassemble anything, take measurements of your furniture and talk to your moving company about what should be taken apart prior to moving.</p></div>

"Utilizing All Service Moving for the move was a very positive experience. They had good communication, answering several questions prior to the move and did a final confirmation just prior to the move date. As for the physical move itself, Jose, Abraham, and Alberto were polite, diligent, and careful moving the many items, and managed to complete the move more quickly than anticipated."

Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including:

Is there anything your company won’t move?
Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?
Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture?
Are there packing restrictions?
Can you guarantee my delivery date?
Can you provide references?
What do you charge extra for?
What is your cancellation policy?
