Moving with Movers – All Your Questions Answered

July 2, 2013

Is this your first time moving with movers?
Is this your first time moving with movers?

Working with a moving company has immense benefits when it comes to reducing the stress and physical demands that a move can inflict on an individual. However, in order for an experience to be truly manageable, you must be prepared. In this blog post, we will answer common questions that relate to the role movers play on moving day and how you can prepare for the big transition.

What kinds of things are prohibited for a moving company to transport?

Movers at the Cummings Moving Company do not move hazardous materials as defined by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation. These materials pose a dangerous threat to movers and include items like combustible liquids, corrosives, explosives, flammables and compressed gases. Such products common around the house include charcoal, paints & paint thinners, batteries and rubbing alcohol just to name a few. There are specific ways set forth to safely dispose of these items properly. Be sure and consult with us if you have a question about any items.

Can I leave things in the drawers when you move me?

Clothing and linens can be left in dresser or wardrobe drawers. Additionally, Cummings Moving Company provides wardrobe boxes on moving day, free of charge, for the hanging items in your closets. Please be sure to remove all personal items, especially valuable, fragile or heavy items from the surface and interior of your dresser or wardrobe and place the items into appropriate moving boxes prior to moving day.

Did you know that Cummings Moving Company offers a whole house packing service?

We all remember the good old days when we could bribe our friends into having a “packing party” with a case of beer and a large pepperoni pizza, but the times they are a changin’. Today, finding friends who have the time and energy to put their own lives on hold to help pack can be a challenge. Cummings Moving Company has a solution with our whole house packing service! Located in the Bay Area, a free quote appointment can be easily scheduled and you will be well on your way to a stress free move!  It’s really that easy!

Hi Amy – Thanks for checking in!  The move went very smoothly and the crew was great!  They had the truck packed in 2 hours, but then had to negotiate the narrow, curvy road we’re on to get back to flat land. The day we moved was really hot and we felt for …

October 2012 – After 48 years in the same house, I was not looking forward to moving. To changing locations, yes; but the actual moving of my belongings, no!  Big truck, three strangers, fast pace. Load it all up, drive 40 minutes, unload it all, try to get…

Once you reach a certain age, it’s not OK to ask your friends to help you move… I’ve been using movers for the past 4-5 years, for across town moves as well as across the country. It’s just easier: you don’t have to but anyone you know to be at your house on-t…

You guys were great. Thanks for sending Miguel and his crew (William, Francisco, Incencio) for our move on Saturday. They were great! Professional, on time (actually even early), hard-working, friendly! Moving is never fun (for you maybe), but they made it the…
