Long distance Virginia Beach, Virginia movers
When you start your search for a mover to handle the long distance move to or from Virginia Beach, Virginia, you may be uncertain of the best practices in choosing a vendor. Consider a visit to the FMCSA website. FMCSA is the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the agency that oversees interstate moving companies.
They recommend that you obtain estimates from at least three reputable movers (check their site to ensure that each one is registered and licensed) and that the bids are based on a visual survey of the household goods you are shipping. The reason for this suggestion is that a visual inspection results in a more accurate estimate of the weight, and the weight forms the basis of the price, along with the mileage. When the mover comes to complete the in-person survey, you can discuss the move and ask questions about services like packing, crating, storage, and insurance.
Local moving companies in Virginia Beach, Virginia
In Virginia, the Department of Motor Vehicles oversees movers that operate entirely within the state. The DMV has a permit system for very short distance companies (working on moves of 30 miles or less) and a certificate requirement for intrastate moves of more than 30 miles. While movers offering these numbers should have up-to-date licenses and insurance coverage, it’s a good idea to ask the mover for proof of those items. Confirm that they have coverage to protect your household goods and protect you if one of their workers damages the property you are moving into or out of or if a worker is injured.
Even if you get a recommendation for a moving company from a friend or family member, ask the mover for recent customer references. Also, look on the Better Business Bureau website for positive or negative reviews placed by other customers.
How much will it cost to move to or from Virginia Beach, Virginia?
Local moving companies generally charge an hourly rate, and most have a two or four-hour minimum. When they submit an estimate, they will tell you how many hours they need to complete the work and what other fees are added to the hourly charge.
Long distance moves are priced according to the shipment’s weight and the distance. The accuracy of the survey is crucial in both types of job, so get several to compare.
Types of moves offered in Virginia Beach city, Virginia
Residential movers within Virginia Beach City, Virginia
Changing apartments or homes can be difficult. This is especially true when you have other things on your plate like work, finalizing arrangements at the new place, or organizing your family’s things for the relocation. This is why most people need help, and this is the reason moving companies are popular. Residential moves can be long-distance or local and, in both cases, using a moving company is a great idea. It will reduce the stress and uncertainty of conducting the move yourself. Three Movers provides both local and long-distance moves all through the city of Virginia.
Office/Commercial Movers in Virginia Beach City, Virginia
Relocating an office is a possible decision you might make in the course of conducting business. There are different economic or legal reasons why you would relocate. No matter the reason, getting help from professional movers, is a great idea that shouldn’t be overlooked. Using employees to transport equipment to a new location is never good for the morale of your staff. This is why movers have special services for companies called commercial moves. Three Movers provides such services. We can conduct local or long-distance moves and most of our clients request the full-service moves where we pack the office items ourselves and transport them to the new address.
Military movers in Virginia Beach City, Virginia
It is common knowledge that military officers change their mailing addresses frequently. It is less known that their families sometimes move with them constantly. Juggling this and the duty assigned to the officers can be difficult. There are military movers designated for moving personal belongings, but some officers require extra services which they can only get from third-party movers. This unique situation provides third-party movers with the chance to provide tailored moving services that military personnel can benefit from. This includes things like same-day moves to match the swift relocation orders and full-service moves where they don’t need to pack their items themselves.
International movers in Virginia Beach City, Virginia
Should you rent a moving container and load all your items into it? Should you take everything you own or comb through it and select only the essentials? Should you arrange for traveling with your pet? How much will this move cost? These are questions that people ask when they want to engage in an international move. Moving companies that are experienced and licensed to move items to other countries can and should answer these questions. You don’t need to find the answer yourself if you hire a mover. Three Movers is highly experienced in conducting international moves to various countries, including the laws of the nations.
Hourly and Flat Rate Movers in Virginia Beach City, Virginia
Hourly rates are very eye-catching to the very budget-conscious people who want to hire movers. This service gives them the opportunity to get a professional touch into their move without paying for a full moving day. However, these hourly rates are fixed so if your move will take a while and the items have substantial weight, you might pay a lot. Another factor to consider is the difficulty of the move, like vehicular access and the presence of stairs in either the origin of the move or the destination. It is always a good idea to consult different companies for their hourly rates and then cross-reference with the full-day moving prices. Also, read the fine prints of hourly rates as things like going over the time limit, can have serious financial penalties. Three Movers has hourly rates and also managers that will help you make the best financial choice if you aren’t sure what to do.
Additional Moving/Shipping Services in Virginia Beach City, Virginia
Packing and Crating
Packing and Crating are services that add another layer of convenience to a move. Packing is a service where you hire a moving company to put your items into boxes for you. Most companies use their own moving supplies to pack your items. It is usually done professionally and sorted properly too. Crating is similar to packing with the difference being that it is usually used for antiques and they are packed carefully into crates instead of cardboard or plastic boxes. Three Movers offers both services with a high level of professionalism.
Insurance
Unexpected things always happen and relocating is one activity that is full of unexpected happenings. These unexpected happenings can lead to destruction or loss of property that is to be moved to a location. For this reason, insurance policies for moving are available. This will provide cover for your items in the event of damage or loss during a move. In addition to third-party insurance provided by insurance companies, moving companies provide cover for moves as well. Three Me And A Truck provides such coverage of different classes to clients who move with us. We take insurance seriously.
Full-Service Moves
Full-service moves are moves where the client isn’t physically involved in any way in the move. The client doesn’t pack a box nor load the boxes into a moving truck. The items are packed, moved, and unpacked by the hired professional movers. Full-service moves also include storage services if it is needed. Three Movers provides such a service to its clients if they request it. We are always professional and cost-effect.
Storage
Sometimes you need a place to keep your items after moving them out of a location. You can pay for such a space. The service is called storage. Many moving companies provide such a service as it is tied closely with moving items. Storage services can be self-storage, where the clients manage the items themselves, or full-service storage where the company does everything for the client. Three Movers offers all storage services in Virginia Beach.
Same-Day moves
Same-day moves are available for those who need to leave a place as quickly as possible or those who haven’t had the chance to contact a mover on time. Same-day moves usually have higher rates than moves where there is a notice period. They are, however, still a vital part of the moving industry, and Three Movers provides them.
Auto Transportation Services
Auto Transport services are moving services for those who have vehicles that they intend to move for long distances. They are useful for long-distance moves or for delivering vehicles that have just been purchased. Three Movers provides this service in various ways to satisfy their clients’ needs.
