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 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: What skills do movers have?

• <div><p>Movers are very skilled in everything having to do with the moving process. From knowing which supplies and materials to use for certain items, to packing, to knowing how to efficiently load a truck, they have experience doing it all. And professional movers often do it all faster and more efficiently than a typical homeowner could.</p></div>

Q: How do I move a pet into a new apartment?

• <div><p>Apartments come with strict regulations about what pets are allowed, so check before you sign a lease. If you have a fish or reptile, wait to move them until everything is set up and you&rsquo;re ready to do a special move just for them and their aquarium/terrarium.</p><p>For a dog or cat, be sure you have a carrier before the move. On moving day, it&rsquo;s best to designate a &ldquo;safe room&rdquo; or even a crate for your pet to help them get used to the new space. Keep everything they need in the safe room, and let them explore the rest of the apartment in their own time.</p></div>

Q: Can I lay a mirror flat to move it?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t want to put anything on top of your mirror when you move it. You also want to limit the possibility that something heavy will fall on the glass and shatter it. For this reason, it&rsquo;s not a good idea to lay a mirror flat in the moving truck.</p></div>

The crew arrived next day and quickly removed two trees from the back yard, being careful not to damage turf when moving tree branches to chipper. They were friendly and efficient.

"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."

"Eastland Movers is an excellent moving company. From Maria in the office to the actual movers we could not have asked for a better experience. We had to postpone our move three times due to unforeseen circumstances. Maria was very helpful each time. She was also very helpful informing us what we had to do for the move. This was only our 2nd move in 45 years and our first out of state move. I would highly recommend this company for service, information, helpfulness and friendliness."
