Can I pack anything in the drawers of my dresser or desk?

All loose items must be packed in boxes to prevent loss or damage while moving. It is recommended that you pack all items and leave the drawers empty.

Will the driver load all the boxes that I pack?

Yes, as long as the driver deems them safe for transport. You must notify the driver if there are any items of extraordinary value (see description of valuable items below).

How will you protect my furniture and other large items?

We use a special material called shrink-wrap. It is a heavy, clear-plastic wrap that protects your furniture from being soiled. In addition, we wrap your items in blankets to ensure that no scratching occurs.

What should I do with my jewelry and other valuable items?

It is strongly recommended that you carry irreplaceable and expensive articles with you or make other arrangements for their transport. Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, antiques, and stamp collections can be included in your shipment, provided that you notify your local moving representative of these items before packing and moving day.

In the moving industry, items worth more than $100 per pound are considered to be articles of "extraordinary" value. To be assured that a claim involving these articles is not limited to minimal liability, you must ask for and sign our high-value inventory form. Also be sure to sign the "Extraordinary (Unusual) Value Article Declaration" box on the Bill of Lading. If Momo Movers is moving items of extraordinary value, you must valuate your move to the appropriate amount in case of damage or loss. There is an additional fee for valuation. If you have packed items of high value yourself, these boxes must be clearly marked and designated.

Please make sure to ask your moving consultant for more details.

How do I prepare my appliances for moving?

Appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators must be disconnected, and the washer must have a stabilizer installed. Again, your estimator can help you understand how these items are serviced. All local moving companies have business relationships with local service providers that handle this type of service. Full service moving companies and national moving companies will also be able to provide all of the moving services you require. Be sure you know who your mover will be using as you will need to let these people into your home to provide the service.

How should I pack my waterbed?

Waterbeds need to be drained completely. Fiber-filled waterbeds need to be professionally vacuum-drained in advance of your moving date.

Can I pack and move my plants?

Our movers will take the utmost care with your plants for local moves. Please discuss the plants with your moving consultant before the move so the team is aware that plants will need to be moved. For long distance moves, moving plants inter-state depends on state regulations, so check with your moving consultant. And, depending on the distance of the move, the time on the truck may damage your plants, so it is generally best for you to take plants with you in your own vehicle for long distance moves.
