What is worth knowing before you move.

Short guides on things people find out too late. Written from what we see go wrong on real moves, not from a manual.

Before you ask for a quote

What to have on hand so the price you get is the price you pay.

·How many bedrooms the home or office has
·Whether there is a piano, safe, artwork, or anything unusual
·What floor you are on and whether there is a service elevator
·Whether the truck can park near the door
·The date you hand over your current place
