Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical local move in Memphis take?

Most local moves take between 3-8 hours depending on the size of your home. A studio or 1-bedroom typically takes 2-4 hours, while a 3-4 bedroom home may take 6-8 hours. Factors like stairs, distance between homes, and packing services can also affect timing.

Do I need to be present during the move?

We recommend having someone present at both locations, but we understand that is not always possible. We can coordinate key access and follow your detailed instructions. Many customers designate a trusted friend or family member to be present if they cannot be there personally.

What items can you not move?

For safety and liability reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials, flammable liquids, explosives, or perishable foods. We also recommend personally transporting important documents, jewelry, medications, and irreplaceable personal items.

Do you offer last-minute or same-day moves?

Yes, we do our best to accommodate last-minute moves based on crew availability. Same-day service may be available depending on the day and season. Call us directly for the fastest response on urgent moving needs.

What happens if something is damaged during the move?

All moves include basic valuation coverage. We also offer full-value protection for additional peace of mind. In the rare event of damage, our claims process is straightforward and fair. We document the condition of items before and after the move.
