Moving FAQs

 

 
   
   
     
   
     
Top
  • PARKING-If parking a large truck will be tight or complicated at either your old or new location, or if it appears that it will be necessary for us to double park in front of your house or building, you should advise us of this before moving day. You can help prevent any problems by parking your own cars and placing barrels, cones etc. in the necessary spaces-a day to two prior of the move. You should allow for about 40-50 feet, keeping in mind that the walk ramps add on to the total length of our trucks.
 
     
 
  • ELEVATORS-Some buildings management's require you to reserve the elevator in advance, and many buildings do not permit you to move on weekends or use there primary tenant elevators. Please advise us as to the schedule you have reserved for your elevator.

  • LARGE ITEMS-Certain bulk or large items (armoires, mattresses, cribs, large wall units, refrigerators, pianos, safes, cast iron stoves, etc.) can turn an otherwise easy move into a problem, particularly if it is discovered after we arrive and begin your move that the job will require one or more complicated procedures involving hoisting or furniture disassembly. You can help us in this regard by providing us information regarding these items which we may have missed in estimating your move.
 
     
 
  • PIANOS-With years of piano moving experience, we welcome the challenge of moving any piano. Your piano can be moved as part of a complete household move included in the hourly rate of the move, or as a single item. Please call GSM for rates on single piano moves. (Based on facility of access to and from moving locations, i.e. difficult stairwells.)

  • HOISTING AND FURNITURE DISASSEMBLY-Surcharges sometimes apply for hoisting, depending on your needs. We try to provide our trucks with the necessary tools for all basic furniture disassembly, so let us know if you have something particularly unique. It may require us to do our estimate in person.
 
     
 
  • INSURANCE-Great Scott Moving provides with every move insurance at the industry standard of $.60 per pound per article. However, our reputation has been built by our doing thousands of moves without any damage. If you wish, we can offer additional value-rated coverage at the rate of $10 per $1000 of actual value, with NO deductible applied, limited to $50,000 per cargo load. Please give us several days notice as to what your additional insurance needs will be, so that we can send you the proper certificates.
 
     
Top
  • GUARANTEE-Your complete satisfaction, and the satisfaction of your future referrals, is our foremost reason for being in business. If you are not pleased with our service, we would appreciate your telling us so. Occasionally, unforeseen problems may delay our schedule with you, or prolong a move beyond it's original estimation. Please understand that this is not intended. We do our best to resolve immediately any problems we encounter, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
