I see that you can pick up from two different residents in the same town, but can we unload at two different residents at our new location in the same town? thank you

Kim,

Absolutely! Movex is the only self-service mover that can accommodate multiple pickups AND drop-offs.

Am I able to load from both my current APT and a storage facility?

Jessie,

Because we offer moving truck service and the driver is there while you load and unload, Movex is able to relocate the truck to your storage facility so that you can load from both locations easily. We are the only self-service mover in the country to provide this option.

I have 3 storage units that need to be moved to Jacksonville, Florida.

One unit is in Puyallup, Washington, and the other 2 are in Chico, California.

What is the best way to get an estimate for that type of move?
Thank you

Corrie,

You can either treat this as one move or two. If you are going to take the entire moving truck, you can treat it as one move with two extra pickups. If the loads are small, treat the Chico and Puyallup pickups as separate moves and get different moving trucks for each pickup.

The cost will depend on how much you are loading at each location. It would be in your best interest to call in and speak to one of our relocation specialists and explain the details of this move. They can help you arrange for a moving truck (or moving trucks) and work out the most competitive pricing for you.

I also want to point out that Movex is the only self-service moving company that can even offer you these options. No other company can make additional pickups in the same town, less yet in different states! We are looking forward to helping you with your move.

from Linda A. in FL - September 2, 2007
I am interested in shipping, from Wesley Chapel, FL to San Bruno, CA, a few belongings (approx. 50 or more small boxes, a 32" TV and TV stand) as well as, load from a nearby family's home (15 minutes from my home address) a sofa and ottoman along with 5 more small boxes of personal possessions. Would the additional pick up location incur an additional charge and, if so, how expensive?

Linda,

With Movex service, the driver stays with the moving truck during loading. This allows us to make an additional pickup (as long as it is in the same town). None of our competitors can offer that kind of service. The charge for an additional pickup is generally $95. You will need to speak to one of our relocation specialists to make sure that there are no surprises that we need to know about that might effect that rate.

I recently got married and am moving to Louisiana from Maryland. My things are at my parents house and hers are in storage. I know I have to load but can the movers come to more than one location?

Shanon,

Part of the beauty of the Movex system is that the driver will wait while you load at one location and then can move the truck to a second location. The second pickup has to be in the same town (or very close). We can also service more than one delivery location. None of our competitors can provide that kind of service.

I am going to be moving from San Francisco to Evanston, Illinois in August. I know several other people who are planning identical moves from SF to Evanston at the same time. We all have different pickup and drop-off addresses in each city, but is there a way to reduce the cost to each of us by scheduling our moves together, for the same pickup/drop-off dates? Thank you.

Kevin,

Consolidating your move with others is a good way to save some money. A full moving truck with some minor extra pickup and delivery charges will be much more cost effective than several smaller shipments scheduled at different times. This sounds like a fairly complex move. I would call our relocation specialists at 800-876-6839 to work out the details and get the best possible price.

from Teresa B. in UT - April 7, 2007
We have half our things at the house and the rest at a large storage unit here in town. Can we load the house then have the driver go to the storage unit if we're within the 12 hours? Is there a way to secure the half-loaded contents so they are packed tight and don't tumble before we load the balance of our goods? How much does it cost if we exceed the 12 hours? How long will it take for the truck to travel from Cedar City, UT to Yakima, WA? Thank you!

Teresa,
One of the big benefits of using Movex is the opportunity for extra pickups and deliveries. Each extra stop costs $95. The moving trucks are equipped with furniture blankets, dollies, loading ramps, and tie-down straps... so securing your shipment before proceeding to the storage facility would be no problem. If you exceed your 12 hours at loading or 12 hours at unloading, the charge is $40 per hour for waiting time. We very very rarely have that charge assessed. If you think you might need more time, speak to one of our relocation specialists about paying a flat rate for a second day of loading. It should take us 2 days to get from Cedar City to Yakima.

A couple of questions. On the boxes, do they have to be regular moving boxes that you have to buy or can they be regular old boxes, because probably 90% of our stuff is already packed and in storage.

Also how do you work this if the rest of the stuff in the house needs to be packed and also the stuff that's in the storage unit about 40 miles away?

Thanks for your time

Carmen

Carmen,
Movex provides the transportation part of the moving process. Our moving trucks will gladly make an extra pickup at your storage facility ($95), but the packing of boxes needs to be completed by you or a packing service.

from Ronda C. in IN - February 12, 2007
I just got my email notification as to the rate of a move from New Castle, Indiana to Ft Pierce, Florida. I had a question. My sis is moving too and I was going to let her put stuff in my truck, but we didn't know if once we got to Ft Pierce, if the truck could let us unload her stuff, then go to my new residence and let us unload my stuff. IS it possible to have 2 destinations, if they are close to each other? Thank you, Ronda

Ronda,

This is a great question that we have often. I have good news for you, we can certainly have multiple drop offs as well as multiple pickups. We generally only charge $95 per extra stop. If we can help you in any way, please do not hesitate to call at 800-876-6839.
