Mover Checklist

questions to ask a moving company

A few good questions can save stress on move day. Before hiring movers in Utah, ask how pricing works, what details affect the quote, and how the crew handles access, packing, and heavy items.

Ask how pricing works

Start with the basics: What is the hourly rate? How many movers are included? When does billing start and stop? Are stairs, packing, or heavy items extra?

Ready Relocation charges $57.50 per hour per mover, bills travel from the Lehi shop until return, charges $50 per flight of stairs, and explains packing and heavy-item pricing before the job.

Ask what information they need from you

A good moving company should ask for pickup and dropoff details, stairs, elevators, parking, long carries, move date, item list, and photos of anything heavy or awkward.

This matters for moves in Lehi, Orem, Provo, American Fork, Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain, Draper, Salt Lake City, and across Utah because access can change the entire move plan.

Ask how they protect your move

Ask how furniture is loaded, how fragile items should be prepared, what customers should pack themselves, and whether the crew can place items by room at delivery.

Clear expectations help both sides. Ready Relocation focuses on a practical walk-through, careful lifting, steady loading, and room-by-room placement when requested.

Ask what could change the final price

No one likes surprises. Ask what might change the final invoice before the crew arrives.

Common changes include extra items, more stairs than expected, long carries, packing that was not planned, hard-to-move furniture, or a larger crew need.

Ask what movers do not move

Every moving company has limits. Ask about hazardous items, open liquids, valuables, plants, pets, firearms, loose small items, and anything that needs special preparation.

Ready Relocation can explain what should be packed, separated, or handled by the customer before the crew arrives.
