Long Island Movers

By Lawrence Elliott

Will the movers inventory my move, and if so, how? Any move involving storage or which crosses state lines will be inventoried. Intrastate moves charged by the hour are not normally inventoried; however, if you specifically request it, we will be happy to inventory your shipment. The inventory process will usually take place just after packing and prior to the loading of the truck. The person doing the inventory will bring a roll of colored stickers with them and each sticker on the roll will have a different number on it.We try our very best to get to every appointment within a 2 hour window during slow sessions, and a 4 hour window during peak moving season. This means, that if you want to move at 8:00 AM, then your appointment will be 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM and the movers will arrive at your home between 8:00-10:00 AM.

ARE MOVERS HELD TO THE ESTIMATES THAT THEY GIVE? It depends on whether it is a non-binding estimate or a binding estimate. A mover is not required to provide an estimate to a shipper. However, if a shipper requests an estimate over the telephone, and the mover calls it an "estimate", it must be in writing. The mover may provide a nonbinding or binding estimate and the estimate, itself, must clearly state whether it is non-binding, binding or guaranteed not to exceed. A non-binding estimate is only an approximate cost--it is NOT binding.While we do not offer moving services, there are a variety of movers available in our area. Check the yellow pages under the heading "movers" for a complete list.

Do The Movers Supply Cartons? Most if not all movers carry a large assortment of boxes and materials to pack the contents of your home. These boxes are not free. Movers pay for them and will usually charge you a discounted rate should you decide to move with them. If you want to pack your stuff before the move, you can order some packing materials. We do not recommend getting boxes from your local grocery store. These boxes are often flimsy and many times carry insects because food has been around them.Like all over service businesses, tipping is not required. A tip is a reward for a job well done. Do not feel forced into tipping movers if you feel it was not deserved.Bekins A-1 Moving provides full protection service to all furniture.

What are Top Movers? Price, which identifies the top gainers and losers in terms of % price change vs. the prior day's official closing price Market cap, which identifies the top gainers and losers in terms of change in absolute market capitalization vs. the prior day's official closing market cap Note: Price/Market Cap/Volume/$ Volume all exclude stocks with market caps less than $1 billion and stock prices lower than $1Our crews generally do not take breaks unless requested by the client or if the job is expected to be 8+ hours. If a break comes as per the movers request we do not bill for the break time, however if the break is at the clients request the time is billable.Our movers are fully insured in case of injury during a move. They are also provided with a working compensation. We can provide a disposal service.

In the case of agents, the "MC" number of their principal movers must be shown. Check to be certain the agent is still affiliated with that principal mover. If the agent, itself, has interstate authority, that agent's "MC" number must be shown.Bekins A-1 Moving provides full protection service to all furniture.
