Ask Move Cheap®: Deposits

This week's Ask Move Cheap® segment comes from Alyson of Florence, KY. Alyson asks:

"Could you explain how your deposit process works?"

Thanks for your question, Alyson! The Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers deposit is a $40.00 non-refundable deposit. Our deposits are non-refundable because there are occasions where a customer may order our services as a back-up plan, or they may need to cancel last minute. When they cancel with such short notice, we are unable to fill that spot and our movers lose work. The $40.00 deposit ensures we're retaining a serious customer and guarantees their reservation in our calendar. Although deposits are non-refundable, they are transferable. If something comes up and you need to change the date of your move you won' lose or have to pay another deposit. Your deposit simply transfers to the next date.

We hope this answers your question, Alyson. From all of us at the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!

Moving Tip of the Week: Movers in Winter

As we have again entered the midst of the winter season, we'd like to offer some small advice to our Cincinnati tri-state customers. The number one danger to movers in the winter time is ice. Please, under no circumstances, pour hot or scalding water on the iced-over ground in order to melt it. The water will only refreeze and likely cause an accident. If you choose Move Cheap® as your Cincinnati moving company, we suggest shoveling your driveways and sidewalks, and using rock salt or ice melt on the path between your truck to your home. It will also be an excellent idea to place some on the ramp of the truck, as well as around the truck itself. This will cause the ice to melt as well as give your movers better traction while carrying your furniture and boxes.

We understand you might have a concern about bringing the outside mess into your home. It will be a good idea to have a mat at your front door in order for your movers to wipe their shoes off and a broom to sweep away any excess mess. It is against our policy to remove our footwear at any time in order to prevent an accident. You also have the option to place a roll of plastic floor protection on your floor surfaces to create a path inside your home for your movers to follow. Please do not lay unsecured blankets, towels, or cardboard on your floors to protect them. Cardboard will easily slide if not taped down, and blankets easily bunch together and create obstacles your movers could easily trip over.

From all of us at Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!

Non-Smoking Crews

In our continuing effort to always improve upon and exceed our company's customer service goals, the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers are now proud to offer non-smoking crews! We understand that welcoming movers into your home whom you've never met can be stressful for some customers. We also understand that our customers who have allergies or adverse reactions to the smell of cigarette smoke would prefer to have movers who don't smoke or smell of cigarettes. That's why we've enacted this policy to make sure your moving experience is a pleasant one.

If you have a suggestion that would help improve the customer service goals of the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, we want to hear from you! You can reach us by using our contact form. We hope to continue raising the bar for our Cincinnati moving company through 2012 and beyond!

Have You Considered Move Cheap® For Your Office Move?

At the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, we know that moving can be stressful. It can become even more stressful for a business owner who needs to move their office. Between managing your day to day operations, and planning a move for your company, the task can easily become overwhelming. That's why we've created our Office Moving Service. Our number one goal is to move your office quickly and efficiently, with as little disturbance to your operations as possible, for a price the Cincinnati Tri-State area has come to expect. Unlike normal residential moves, business owners need their offices up and running again as quickly as possible. There are special needs like moving files, organization, and often times, the disassembling and reassembling of office cubicles. We understand your needs and we want to earn your business. Utilizing our Office Moving Service will give you the expertise to make your business transition a smooth and manageable process.

Q: How does your Office Moving Service Work?

• Similar to our standard moving labor service, our business clients provide their own rental moving trucks.

• When our Office Movers arrive at their scheduled time, they will do a "schematic preparation" to make sure the layout of your cubicle system is put together the same at your new office.

• Your movers will then begin labeling items and start the disassembling process.

• Once that has been completed, your movers will load the truck, and you're off to your new location where our movers will unload and reassemble your office furniture.

Q: What are your office moving rates?

The rates for our office moving service are as follows:

2 Movers: $60.00 per hour
3 Movers: $90.00 per hour
4 Movers: $120.00 per hour

There is a 3 hour minimum for our office moving services.
Each move does incur a $34.00 travel fee.


Q: How do I get started?

Because no office is the same, and nearly every business requires different needs, an estimator will be required to come to your office to create a package tailored specifically for your business.

Contact us today so that we can create a moving package for you!

Q: Why should I choose Move Cheap® for our office move?

• Business owners know what it's like to work with a budget, and our budget minded moving services give you more for your money.

• Office moves are a very specialized service, and often times require special tools and equipment that we provide at no additional charge.

• Items like cubicles require specialized and experienced personnel to disassemble and reassemble correctly. We give you the movers to do the job right.
