Answers You Can Count On: Movers Hammond Moving FAQ

Our History

The story of Movers Hammond began in 2010, when Richard White saw a simple but powerful gap in the moving industry: people needed more trust, clarity, and consistency during one of the most stressful moments in life — moving. With just a used van, a strong work ethic, and a handful of reliable helpers, Richard White launched what would become a dedicated, growing name in local and long-distance moving.

Planning and Booking

  • What’s the easiest way to schedule or reschedule?
    Contact Customer Care for long‑distance moves or use the online scheduler for local service; advance notice helps secure preferred dates.

  • How far ahead should I set my pickup or delivery?
    Book as early as possible; local dates can be requested online, while long‑distance timing is coordinated through Customer Care.

  • When should I make my reservation?
    Reserve early to lock in availability—even if some details are still pending—then update your order as plans finalize.

  • How much lead time is ideal for my move?
    Plan at least one month ahead to secure specific dates and time windows, especially for larger homes or complex access.

  • How far in advance should I book in peak season?
    Schedule 3–4 weeks ahead between April and September; off‑peak typically works with 1–2 weeks’ notice.

  • Which days of the week are best for moving?
    Weekdays—especially Tuesday or Wednesday—often mean more flexible schedules and lighter traffic.

  • How do I reach you to book?

Cost and Payment

  • What’s included in your pricing?
    Professional movers, equipment, furniture protection, standard disassembly/reassembly, fuel where applicable, and basic liability coverage are typically included.

  • How do you price local versus long‑distance?
    Local moves are time‑based with crew size; long‑distance considers mileage, shipment weight/volume, and chosen services.

  • Are there extra charges for stairs or elevators?
    Local pricing generally includes typical access; long‑distance may add accessorials for obstacles like long carries, stairs, or limited elevator access.

  • What forms of payment do you accept?
    Visa, MasterCard, Discover, cash, and cashier’s checks; some long‑distance credit card payments may include a small surcharge.

  • When is payment due?
    Payment is typically due prior to unloading at delivery; this keeps the job flowing smoothly through completion.

  • Should I tip the movers, and how much?
    Tips are optional and based on satisfaction; many customers choose 15–20% for excellent service.

  • What if I need to cancel—do I get a refund?
    Refunds depend on timing relative to your scheduled date; check your confirmation or call support for details.
