Moving Tip of the Week: How To Choose A Moving Labor Company

As Cincinnati movers, Move Cheap has been servicing the tri-state market since 2005. In that time, the moving labor market has grown and there are several companies out their for you to choose from. While we hope you would choose us as your Cincinnati moving labor service, here are a few things to consider when choosing your company:

  • Some local moving labor services promising to help have created one or more of their own "associations" in order to make themselves appear more legitimate. Don't let companies like this trick you into trusting them.
  • Many companies talk about being legal. These are the same companies who try to bend the rules and steal the identity of other truly legitimate businesses. To verify whether a company is legal or not, visit the Ohio Secretary of State website to check to see if your moving labor company has been registered as a business and when.
  • Some companies talk about having true "movers" insurance, but won't go further to explain what that insurance is. The only insurance required for a moving labor company to truly protect your premises and possessions is a liability insurance and a care & custody insurance. Your company should be more that willing to provide you with this documentation.
  • No moving labor company in the state of Ohio can drive your rental truck. Only full services companies registered with Public Utilities Commission of Ohio can do that. If a moving labor service offers to drive your rental truck, they are making an illegal offer that could end up costing you thousands! You can go to this site to find a list of companies that are legally allowed to drive moving trucks.
  • Check their address! Some moving labor companies have registered one or more of their locations as a PO Box, or a "mailing address" from a UPS store to make themselves seem larger or more legit. If you can't find your company of choice, they're likely an illegal company.
As a Cincinnati moving company, our goal is to provide you with a great service you can depend on, and earn the trust and business of our community and neighbors. We have a valid store you can visit, we are a registered business with the state of Ohio, and we carry insurance that you can verify.

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

Moving Tip of the Week: Drawers

As movers in Cincinnati, one of the top ten questions we are asked is, "Do we need to empty out our drawers?". The answer to this question is YES. The added weight from the contents of your drawers not only makes it more difficult to move them, but in some instances can cause your furniture to break. While we will on occasion move dressers and other furniture with the drawers still in them, it can also be a good idea to remove the drawers completely. Some areas of your house, condo, apartment, rental truck or storage unit may require your furniture to be turned or moved on it's side or diagonally. In these instances, it is always necessary to remove the drawers so that components don't become jammed or break.

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

Moving Tip of the Week: Stairs

Unlike other moving companies in the area, our Cincinnati moving company NEVER charges extra for stairs. We do, however, need to know ahead of time whether you'll have stairs or not in order to give you the best free estimate possible. Since 2005, we've serviced customers with straight stairways, old stairways, spiral stairways, and hillside stairways. Whatever the challenge, we can conquer it to offer you a smooth move. It is important to note that stairs will normally add extra time to your move, especially if you're moving into or out of 3rd and 4th floors. As we approach the hot summer months, it may also be a good idea to consider adding a 3rd mover to your crew. This will help keep your movers refreshed, make your move quicker, and save you money in the long run.

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