The breakdown

Contact

Your booking agent will contact you by text within 1 – 2 hours after you have submitted a request.

Inventory

They will collect key information about your move, including an exhaustive list of your home inventory.

Key information collected by your booking agent includes details about your home’s accessibility, such as the number of floors or staircases, as well as any bulky items that may require special handling. Additionally, your booking agent will need to know where the moving truck can park to facilitate the loading and unloading of your belongings.

To complete your home inventory, you have the option to choose between filling it out online through a link that will be sent to you, via phone, or through a virtual walkthrough with your booking agent. This allows you to provide a comprehensive list of your belongings, ensuring that you are quoted the most accurate price.

Moving quote

After collecting all the necessary information, your booking agent will review multiple quotes from our Waldo Verified professional movers to find the best and most affordable option for you. You will receive a single moving quote by email based on the top recommended option, making it easy for you to make an informed decision.

We consider several factors when calculating your moving quote, such as distance, hourly labor costs, relocation time, and special item fees. Some companies have additional truck fees or include a fee for the distance travelled from their warehouse to your addresses.

Although moving quotes are only estimates, we strive to ensure your final cost is as close as possible to the original quote. Please note, a 3-hour minimum is in place for each company, and your final cost may vary based on actual move time.

What does being Waldo Verified mean?

Waldo Verified is a verification process for moving companies that ensures they meet certain standards of professionalism and trustworthiness. To become Waldo Verified, a company must first pass a preliminary verification process based on factors such as client reviews, accreditations, and online presence. If they pass this, they undergo a complete verification in which there is an interview process where their experience, credentials, and insurance certificates are reviewed.

Only incorporated and trustworthy companies are Waldo Verified, and they must carry a minimum of $1 million in liability insurance, as well as legal cargo protection. While it is not mandatory for moving companies to become Waldo Verified, hiring one that is not verified is a personal choice, but it is important to inquire about their incorporation and insurance certificates.

Estimate confirmation

Once you’ve made your decision, your booking agent will ask you to sign the estimate and provide a $100 deposit to secure your moving date. From there, your agent will work directly with the movers to coordinate all the details of your move.

After the details have been confirmed, you will receive a booking confirmation via email, which will include the official date of your move.

Final review

Seven days prior to your move, you will have the opportunity to review and confirm all the details of your moving estimate to ensure that everything is accurate and up-to-date. This gives you the peace of mind of knowing that the movers have all the necessary information to make your move a success.

If any changes are necessary, your booking agent will work with you to make any adjustments and ensure that everything is in order. If changes are made, you will be asked to resign to confirm the updated details.

Finalizing payment

After you move, your booking agent will help you with finalizing payment and speaking to your mover on your behalf.
