Moving Tip of the Week: Moving Pads

As your favorite Cincinnati moving company, Move Cheap® always provides tools & multiple dollies at no additional charge with all of our services. Customers are still responsible for supplying moving pads and blankets, and one of the number one questions we receive is "How many blankets should I supply?".

Moving pads and blankets are important to supply with your truck because they help prevent scratches and dings to your furniture during transit. They are typically available from wherever you're renting your truck or mobile storage unit from. Below you will find the number of moving pads we suggest based on the size of truck you rent:

• 10 ft truck: 12 pads
• 12 - 14 ft truck: 18 pads
• 16 - 17 ft truck: 24 pads
• 20 - 22 ft truck: 30 pads
• 24 - 28 ft truck: 48 pads

We recommend blankets that are at least 68" by 55". If you're moving into a storage unit and are unable to rent moving pads, you can always purchase them from us or we can help you find a location to purchase them from!

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

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!
