How do I pick the right mover?

Create a list of local moving companies you plan to research.Get a quote from each mover. Make sure to get moving quotes directly from a company’s official website or phone number. Working with movers directly cuts out any middlemen and will result in the lowest price.Get a feel for each moving company’s reputation by reading reviews from real customers.Ask whether each company is licensed and how they’re insured.Determine how each mover’s schedule works. Is your delivery date guaranteed? Will the same person who loads up your belongings transport and unload them as well?Make sure you’re comfortable with how each mover charges, their cancellation policy, and whether or not a deposit is required.Choose whichever company best fits your move; everyone’s needs are different.

Should I hire movers or move myself?

This depends on your personal situation. Hiring professionals like TWO MEN AND A TRUCK ensures your entire move is taken care of by our teams, while moving yourself means you’ll be responsible for doing the heavy lifting, renting a truck, finding help, and more. You can see more about the differences between moving yourself and hiring professional movers here.

What items can TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® not move?

Things TWO MEN AND A TRUCK cannot move include prescription drugs or medicines, machine or gas engine items, animals, plants, flammable items, and sentimental items like cash, jewelry, insurance papers, or birth certificates. Please consult with your TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchise for a full list of items that can’t be moved.

When do I need an in-home moving estimate?

Generally, moving companies can give you an estimate over the phone. In some cases, movers may need to visit your home in person to give you an accurate quote. If you answer yes to any of the following questions, you may need an in-home estimate:Is your home 1,500 square feet or larger?Do you have any large or bulky items (e.g., safes or pianos) that may be difficult to move safely and securely?Does your home have any narrow hallways, doorways, or stairways that furniture cannot fit through?Will movers have difficulty parking a 26 ft. truck close to your home?Are you moving out of state?

When is the best time to book a move?

The best time to book your upcoming move is at least one month before your desired moving date. Moving schedules fill up fast, especially during the spring and summer months, so you’ll want to give yourself enough time to land on your local franchise’s schedule with your preferred move date.

My team was great! They were super careful with my more delicate furniture items, and did a great job making things in my storage unit.

This was a tough move but your team worked very well with us and for us. They were personable and kind and just nice to be around. I have moved to my 36th mailing address and expressed to some of the team that they were one of the best movers I have encountered. They represent your company well.

The packing team did a terrible job. They didn't even come CLOSE to packing our house, left it for the moving team. One box was labeled "fragile - glass" and it was packed so full that the seams of the boxes were ripping apart. One packer packed an open top olive oil container in a box and the oil was just spilling out as the movers carried it out of the truck. There was little to no labeling.

Using Two Men And A Truck (or in my case 3) was a overall pleasant experience. The office staff was friendly and understanding when we had to adjust scheduling. The move team was courteous, friendly, and efficient! We did end up with one casualty in the move, but all things considered, I'm pleased it was only one and the company is working to help fix the broken picture frame glass!

stars

Excellent experience from beginning to the end! The entire team went above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend Two Men and a Truck to anyone.

Good moving experience. The team was on time, friendly and courteous. The movers were careful with our belongings. The whole process was efficient, to the point that it did not exceed the original estimate, even though we expected it might.
