1. How is the cost of my move
calculated? Are there any hidden fees?
We believe in complete transparency. Our
pricing is based on a few key factors: the
size of your home, the total volume of items
to be moved, the distance of your move, and
any special services you may need. We can
provide either a binding flat-rate quote or
an hourly rate, depending on the specifics
of your move.
South Coast Movers Promise:
We pride ourselves on having no hidden
charges. Our detailed quotes outline all
costs upfront, including labor, truck fees,
fuel surcharges, and any additional services
like packing or furniture disassembly.
|
2. Are you licensed and
insured?
Yes, absolutely. South Coast Movers is a
fully licensed and insured moving company.
We carry all the necessary credentials to
operate legally and professionally. Our
licensing ensures we meet legal requirements
pertaining to TxDOT requirements, while our
insurance protects your belongings in
unforeseen incidents. Most reputable moving
companies will have their states moving
license on all their document including web
pages as our credentials are posted on the
bottom of this page.
|
3. How big are your
trucks?
We have available trucks 7 days a week
from 20' trucks and enclosed trailers
for 1-2 bedroom apts and 10x20
storage's. And up to 28' trucks that can
transport a 4 bedroom house with
appliances. We'll make sure your move
gets a the appropriate size truck.
|
4. Do you offer packing
services?
Yes! We offer a full range of packing and
unpacking services to suit your needs.
Whether you need us to pack your entire
home, just a few fragile items, or just the
kitchen, we've got you covered. We can also
provide all the necessary packing supplies,
including specialty boxes, wraps, and pads,
to ensure everything is secure for
transport. You can also provide all packing
materials yourself.
|
5. What items can you not
move?
For safety and legal reasons, there are
certain items we are unable to transport.
This typically includes flammable materials,
explosives, pressurized containers, and
other hazardous items. We also recommend
that you personally transport valuable or
irreplaceable items, such as legal
documents, heirlooms, jewelry, and cash. We
will provide a complete list of
non-allowable items during your initial
consultation.
|
6. Will you disassemble and
reassemble my furniture?
Yes, our experienced movers are fully
equipped to handle furniture disassembly and
reassembly. This is a standard part of our
service. We use the proper tools to
carefully take apart large items like beds,
dining tables, and shelving units, and then
reassemble them at your new location.
|
7. When is the best time to
book my move?
We recommend booking your move as far in
advance as possible, especially if you're
planning a move during peak season (summer,
weekends, and holidays). A lead time of 1-3
weeks is ideal. However, we understand that
sometimes moves are last-minute, and we'll
do our best to accommodate your schedule.
The earlier you book, the more likely we are
to meet your preferred date. Most days we
can do same day emergency moves.
|
8. Will my items be
transferred to another truck during the
move?
For most local and short-distance moves,
your belongings will stay on the same truck
from the time they are loaded until they are
unloaded at your new home. For long-distance
moves, the same goes, unless a customer
instructs us to store it temperately. Your
point of contact at South Coast Movers will
keep you informed every step of the way.
|
9. What happens if there's a
delay on moving day?
We plan meticulously to ensure your move
stays on schedule. However, in the rare
event of unforeseen delays, such as traffic
or inclement weather, we will contact you
immediately to provide an update and a
revised timeline. Your dedicated move
coordinator is always available to answer
your questions and keep you in the loop. We
also have licensed and insured movers with
the same cost and service on standby if
something unexpected happened to insure your
move goes as expected.
|
10.
Do I need to pay a
deposit to book my move?
A small deposit may be required to secure
your moving date, but we rarely require any
deposits but a deposit is a standard
practice to confirm your reservation and
allows us to block off the necessary
resources for your move. On rare occasion a
25% deposit may be required on city to city
moves. The deposit amount will be applied to
your final bill. The rest of the payment is
typically due upon completion of the move. |
