FAQ
Am I required to be present at the move
Someone has to be present at the beginning of the move in order to go through a full walk around with the moving crew on site, if the customer has a friend or family member attending the movers you must provide their name & contact details during booking process.
For deliveries and pick ups, you don’t have to be present at the location of pickup/delivery, although you do need to provide us with the receivers/shippers name & contact details
Do the movers take off their shoes & how is the floor protected against Dollies?
We place Floor Runners & Blankets in order to ensure the floor is protected against dust and damage. If the customer pleases to have the shoes taken off, we can always do so as long as it’s safe for us and the work site doesn’t have any hazards which may require the movers to keep shoes on.
How our doors & railings protected against damages?
We place blankets door covers on all the entrances and secure it with a band so the blankets stays on the door during the whole move even if any item touches the blanket.
We place blanket railing covers on all the railings as well in order to make sure the surface is covered by a thick layer in case of any furniture skimming the surface. The blankets are tied on to the railing with either elastic bands or tape.
Having such areas covered with pads and blankets makes our customers feel much safer and stress free during the moving process.
Do the movers take paid breaks or stand around during the move?
Our moving crews show up to moves with the goal of getting it done as quickly as safely possible, therefore, our crews don’t specifically take a break on site and go sit around, they may take a quick 5 minute breather every 1-2 hours or so which is recommended to them by our training team. These five minute breathers every 1-2 hours helps them to keep working efficiently, maintain safely, & avoid exhaustion as there are moves where the boys work 12+ hours.
Sometimes, the guys stop at a gas station after loading is complete on the way to the offload in order to use the restroom or to grab a coffee which doesn’t take any more than 5-10 minutes, and we always make sure the customer is aware about it to avoid any problems. For moves under 4 hour estimates, the movers usually won’t take any breaks or stop anywhere in the way as the size of the move is small.
Do the movers place TVs in Boxes & Mattresses in Mattress Bags?
​
Yes we do, during the booking process we will always ask the customer the sizes of their mattresses and TVs. We also ask the customer whether they have their own mattress bag & TV Box, if you don’t have your own, we can always provide them and place the mattress in bags and pack up the TV in a box.
Mattress bags are a standard $15 for 5ML Bags all sizes, & TV Boxes are roughly $25-$35 generally depending on the size.
How does Yeg Movers pack up awkwardly shaped items such as a couch?
For local moves - We stand the couch up on its side and place a blanket on the bottom & top of of the couch, then we wrap it up with 2 layers of shrink wrap. This method has ensures a safe couch move for majority of the moves.
For long distance moves - The method above works just as fine as well., Although if needed we can always crate up a couch after it’s been padded & wrapped for extra protection.
