F. Ambrose Moving Inc Frequently Asked Questions

It is best if you start contacting movers in Montgomeryville, PA as soon as you have an idea of your desired move date. If you don’t have an exact date yet, you can still get an idea of the cost and timeframe. You can even get an in-home estimate scheduled so that once you have a confirmed date for your move, the process will be much quicker. 

Whenever you contact a mover, you can request their PMSA (Pennsylvania Moving & Storage Association) and PUC (Public Utility Commission) information, which you can then verify with that association. If they are licensed, by law they will have limited liability protection. 

Some movers offer additional coverage as well through third-party agents they work with if you need additional coverage for your belongings. Our team of movers in Montgomeryville, PA are licensed and insured!

An estimate is an approximation of the cost of your move. This is based on your inventory, the movers’ tariff, and their experience performing the same type of moves – local or long distance. 

Once you contact a moving company in Montgomeryville, PA, they can schedule a date and time for their estimator to come to your home and review with you the items to be included in your move. It is important at this stage to account for all items that will be (or could be) a part of your move.

Every move is unique and the time to complete it will vary. The time required to move your home depends greatly on the items included in your move, the size of your home, and the travel distance. There are some additional factors like elevators, steps, and the distance from your front door to the moving truck. These factors have a big impact on how quickly your moving company in Montgomeryville, PA will be able to complete your move.

This answer depends on the size of your move and the moving services you require. The best way to see how much your move will cost is to get a free estimate. For local moves, you can get an in-house estimate, which will give you the most accurate assessment.

Long-distance and small moves may be able to be quoted over the phone. When contacting movers in Montgomeryville, PA, be sure to tell them about every piece intended for moving.

A reliable moving company in Montgomeryville, PA should accept credit cards, personal checks, and cash. Usually, there is an initial charge to secure your move date (moving deposit) when you book your move. Then, when your goods are delivered and unloading is complete, you will pay the remaining balance. 

Some moving companies do offer storage. Storage with a moving company is generally NOT similar to a public storage facility.

Most moving companies provide a standard set travel time for short-distance moves, but long distances moves generally are handled at a per-hour rate equal to your set moving rate. This means you will pay your “per-hour rate” for the loading and delivery of your items, as well as the time it takes to travel for your complete move.  

Additionally, each state provides a monthly updated fuel surcharge list based on total miles traveled for a move. When requesting an estimate for your long-distance move, it is important to ask the moving company if there are any additional charges, and what they will be.
