Local FAQ
Q: Which is better, an hourly price or a guaranteed price?
A: Both have their advantages. When we bid jobs on a guaranteed price, we try to stick to the services listed on the Order For Service as we have allowed just enough time for this. Small apartment moves and small 3 bedroom houses or smaller are generally better with an exact price. Hourly jobs are the way to go for larger residences as it is harder to remember everything you have. We can also spend more time helping you rearrange furniture.
Q: Can Magic Movers come out and give me an onsite estimate?
A: We can come out and give an estimate but we generally try to do it over the phone so we can keep our costs down. If we keep our costs down, we can keep your price down. We have many questions that will give us an idea of what it will take to complete your move and give you an accurate estimate. We will come out for all 3 bedroom houses and larger or if there is something you have that we feel needs to be seen in person
Q: What kind of payment is accepted for my local move?
A: We accept cash, certified checks, bank checks, or money orders. We accept Visa, MasterCard and local checks with prior approval.
Q: Can I select a specific day for pickup of my belongings?
