How far in advance should I schedule my move?
It depends on when you would like to move.
- Moving in the Summer? PLAN EARLY! We recommend scheduling 1 month in advance. May-September are the busiest months for moving.
- Moving in early Spring or late Fall? Plan 2 weeks in advance.
- Moving in the Winter. 1 to 2 weeks in advance should be plenty of time.
- WEEKENDS BOOK FAST! Weekends always get booked first, since that’s when most people want to move. So, plan early for a weekend move. However, we will recommend the closest available date if your requested date is booked. We will even refer you to another trusted mover; if we are completely booked.
Does it cost more for weekend moves?
Our rates are the same 7 days a week. We have hourly rates and flat rates which do not change based on the day of the week nor the time of the month.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept cash, Visa, Discover, AMEX and Mastercard for all moves.
How long have you been in business?
A-Anytime Movers was incorporated way back in 1989! We have been serving the moving, delivery and storage community for over 35 years.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes! We are licensed and insured.
What areas/states do you service?
We provide local moving service to Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
What should I do to prepare for the move?
We have put together Moving Day Tip Sheet, which outlines various guidelines such as how to reserve the elevator, labeling items, as well as many other useful tips you can follow to ensure your moving day is expedient and successful.
Do you sell packing materials?
At this time we only offer clothing wardrobe boxes for your hanging clothes. If you order wardrobe boxes they will come out on our moving truck on moving day.
Do you supply the truck?
Based on the size of your move job, we provide a truck along with the appropriate number of men needed to make your move a successful one. Our trucks are all covered box trucks (no pick-up trucks!) available in sizes from 12 feet to 26 feet. Most studios and one bedroom apartments can be moved in a 12 to 16 foot truck, depending on the contents of your apartment, while larger apartments and houses require the larger trucks. Our office staff will assess the size truck and number of men needed, and provide an estimate on the number of hours your move will require based on the information you provide. See Moving Estimate Request Form.
When do I pay?
Payment is required upon completion of your local move. Partial prepayment is required for long distance moves. As such, the movers will request the partial prepayment once the truck is packed and ready to get on the road.
How do you charge for a move?
We have an hourly rate which is based on the number of men needed to handle your move. We can also provide you with a flat rate for your long distance move. The number of men needed is determined by the size of your move. The hourly rate begins accruing when the movers reach your location and begin the move, and ends when you have been relocated into your new residence or office. We don’t charge for drive time to or from our office; like some other movers. There is also a small mileage charge which begins from where you are currently located to your new location.
For large residential, long distance and most office moves we do provide a flat rate. Our estimator will be happy to provide you with a written quote at no charge.
You can enter information regarding your move by completing the Moving Estimate Form. Our office staff will arrange for the estimator to view your belongings and provide you with either; a flat rate, or discuss our hourly rates with you. When you complete the form during our regular business hours, you will receive a reply the same business day.
Do you provide free estimates?
Yes! You can use our online form to tell us about your project. We’ll get back to you with pricing information within one business day. Our pricing is firm! No surprises, hidden or additional fees. We promise. And our rates are the same every day of the week.
Do the men move fast?
We are in the business of moving residential and office locations. We schedule our moves days in advance providing careful thought to the size of moves and the amount of time that each move should take. This process allows us to maximize our day. It is to our benefit and yours that the move is time efficient, while providing excellent and courteous service. Our movers strive to maintain their schedule for your move with total customer satisfaction, and move on to provide that same timely service to the next customer awaiting our arrival.
Do your movers work full-time or do you pick up laborers?
We employ full-time and part-time experienced movers. Many of our employees have been with us for more than 10 years.
Will the men be on time?
We strive for 100% on-time arrival for our jobs. However, unforeseeable situations can arise such as heavy traffic on the Beltway, inclement weather, or customers who have more furniture than stated when they were scheduled. Our office staff is always in contact with our drivers via phone/text. In the rare event that some delay should occur, you will be notified and provided with an estimated time of arrival. Again, late arrivals are rare as we do add on a grace period of one-half hour to each job in order to minimize late occurrences.
Do you have references?
Many of our customers have provided us positive and useful feedback about our company and the service we provide. Read some of our testimonials to see what our customers have to say.
Should I tip the movers?
Our movers work hard to provide excellent and courteous service in an efficient manner. If you believe that our movers have met this goal, then a tip would be appreciated. If you believe that they have not met their goal, we welcome your comments or suggestions.
