Start by contacting building management at both locations — your current address and your new one. This step is essential to understand all moving rules, restrictions, and requirements in advance and avoid last-minute surprises.

Make sure to confirm the following details early:

• Approved move-in and move-out times at both properties

• Certificate of Insurance (COI) requirements and submission deadlines

• Whether parking permits or reserved loading zones are needed for the moving truck

• Building access details such as doorway sizes, stairwells, service elevators, and loading docks

• Your landlord’s minimum notice period, which is often at least 30 days

Next, take time to sort your belongings. Decide clearly:

• What items you’re taking with you

• What you want to donate or discard

• What should go into short-term or long-term storage

If you plan to donate or dispose of items, start that process as soon as possible. A pre-move decluttering or “spring clean” well before moving day will save time, reduce costs, and make packing easier.

When you request a quote from US Best Price Moving, the moving team will review everything you plan to move. Having a clear inventory helps ensure accurate estimates, proper planning, and a smoother moving experience overall.

Getting organized early sets the foundation for a stress-free move — and puts you in full control from day one.

Choosing the right moving company is about much more than finding the lowest price. A professional mover should be fully insured, transparent with pricing, and committed to handling your belongings with care. The best moving experience comes from a company that offers clear communication, reliable service, and no surprise fees—ideally with a flat-rate price you can trust.

To make the right decision, it’s important to ask the right questions before booking.

Here are key questions US Best Price Moving recommends asking any moving company you’re considering:

• Are you fully licensed and insured, and compliant with all state and federal moving regulations?

• Are my belongings insured and protected throughout the entire move?

• Do you offer short-term and long-term storage options if my new place isn’t ready?

• Can you remove or dispose of unwanted furniture or items that won’t be moving with me?

• Do you provide plastic bin rentals or professional packing solutions?

• Is your quote a flat, all-inclusive rate, or are there additional fees on moving day?

• Are your movers screened, trained, and experienced?

• Will I have one dedicated customer service contact to guide me from planning to delivery?

Asking these questions helps you avoid hidden costs, delays, and unnecessary stress. When you work with US Best Price Moving, you get clear answers, honest pricing, and a team focused on making your move smooth, predictable, and stress-free from start to finish.

With thousands of moving companies available, only a small number truly offer professional, reliable service. That’s why US Best Price Moving always recommends comparing quotes from two or three top-rated movers before making a decision. This allows you to clearly see the differences in pricing, services, and overall value.

A proper moving quote should be clear, detailed, and transparent. It must list all line-item charges and explain any possible additional fees that could apply during the move. Be cautious of unusually low estimates — these often come from companies that add extra charges later, turning what looked like a bargain into a costly and frustrating experience.

When reviewing your quote, make sure it answers these key points:

• Are all services and charges clearly broken down?

• Are potential extra fees explained in advance?

• Is the pricing structure straightforward and easy to understand?

Beyond pricing, it’s equally important to look at the company’s values and work culture. A professional mover invests in safety training, customer service, and ongoing support for their moving crews. This shows in how efficiently they work, how respectfully they treat your home and belongings, and how confident you feel throughout the process.

At US Best Price Moving, transparency, safety, and customer care are at the core of every move. That means no hidden surprises, professional standards you can trust, and a moving experience designed to feel smooth and stress-free from start to finish.

Once you’ve selected US Best Price Moving based on the right quote and agreed-upon services, the next step is to officially confirm your move. With your moving date and time locked in, you can confidently move forward and fast-track the most important preparations.

Here’s what to take care of next:

• Finalize travel arrangements such as flights, hotels, or transfers if your move is long-distance

• Notify your children’s schools and request the transfer of academic records

• Apply for time off work to ensure you’re available on moving day

• Arrange pet transportation for interstate or long-distance relocations

• Organize moving-day care for young children or pets, as your home will be busy and your focus will be on the movers

• Inform friends and family about your move and ask for assistance if needed

Planning these steps early helps ensure your moving day runs smoothly and without unnecessary stress. With US Best Price Moving handling the logistics, you can focus on preparing for your new beginning — knowing everything is organized and under control.

Packing your home always takes longer than expected, so give yourself more time than you think you’ll need. The goal is to finish packing well before moving day, allowing you to focus on final details while US Best Price Moving handles the heavy lifting.

To stay organized and avoid last-minute stress, follow these essential packing steps:

• Purchase packing supplies early such as sturdy boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and packing paper

• Consider renting plastic moving bins for better protection and easier stacking

• Identify fragile or high-value items that may require custom crating or special handling

• Keep valuables and important documents with you, including passports, contracts, jewelry, and electronics

• Label items for donation or sale using signs or Post-it notes so they’re clearly separated from items being moved

• Set aside essentials for the final night and moving day, such as clothes, toiletries, chargers, and medications

• Ask for help if needed, especially if your packing timeline starts to feel tight

Proper packing is one of the biggest factors in a smooth move. If you want to save time and reduce stress even further, US Best Price Moving also offers professional packing services, ensuring your belongings are packed safely, efficiently, and ready for transport.
