Movers may be able to transport an empty aquarium, stand and equipment, but do not assume they will move live fish or a tank containing water. Confirm the mover’s policy and coordinate livestock separately with an aquarium professional when needed.
Do not assume appliance hookups are included in a moving quote. Movers may transport appliances once they are properly disconnected, while water, gas or specialized electrical connections may require a qualified third party. Confirm the exact scope before moving day.
Usually, yes for a slate pool table. The table may need to be disassembled, the slate handled separately, and the table reassembled and leveled at the destination. Confirm the table type, stairs, elevator and final room before booking.
Yes, many movers can handle one pickup with two delivery stops if the route, inventory split and building access are planned in advance. Label each item by destination and give the mover both buildings’ elevator and COI requirements before the quote.
IT should control shutdown, backup, labeling and technical disconnection. Movers may transport a properly prepared rack and equipment if that scope is agreed, but loaded racks, heavy UPS units or sensitive production hardware may require a specialist IT relocation plan.
Yes. FMCSA says customers have the right to request a reweigh before unloading when an interstate shipment was weighed at origin. The mover cannot charge for the reweigh, and weight-based charges must be recalculated from the reweigh result.
Check the copier lease or service agreement before assigning the move. Standard office movers can physically move some copiers, but leased or service-covered machines may need to be prepared, transported or reinstalled by the copier vendor to protect the agreement and avoid responsibility disputes.
Use the furniture manufacturer, dealer, installer, or a commercial mover that specifically handles modular systems. Standard office movers can transport components, but cubicles and panel systems often need trained disassembly, labeling, reconfiguration, and reinstallation.
If the building requires union labor for the move, use a moving company or crew that satisfies that requirement and get management approval before booking the final move window. Do not assume a non-union crew can enter because the company is insured or has a COI.
Because the mover may have to load and transport your belongings twice: once from the old home into storage and again from storage to the new home. Storage also adds warehouse handling, inventory, redelivery scheduling, and sometimes a second building-access setup.
