How to Check If a Moving Company Is Legit

Simple. Do your homework before you hand over your stuff.

First. Check reviews. Not just the five-stars, but the bad ones too. Look for patterns. If everyone’s saying “they were late” or “stuff got broken,” believe them.

Second. Licensing and insurance. In the US, movers need a license number. No license? No thanks.

Third. Clear pricing. If they avoid giving you a written estimate, that’s a red flag. No one likes surprise fees.

Fourth. Ask questions. Real companies give real answers. Not vague promises or “don’t worry, we got you.”

And finally. Trust your gut. If it feels sketchy, it probably is.

FAQ

Can You Move Pianos answered by iBox Moving experts

Can You Move Pianos and Heavy Items? – FAQ from iBox Moving

Can You Move Pianos?

Yes — iBox Moving specializes in handling heavy, delicate, and high-value items, including upright and baby grand pianos. We have the equipment and experience needed to move your piano safely.

What Types of Pianos Can You Move?

  • Upright Pianos: The most common household piano — tall and vertical. We move these regularly.
  • Spinet & Console Pianos: Smaller upright models, perfect for apartments or smaller homes.
  • Baby Grand Pianos: We can disassemble and transport baby grands safely with proper prep and padding.

How Do You Protect the Piano During the Move?

We use professional equipment: piano boards, heavy-duty straps, moving blankets, and shrink wrap. Our team secures all moving parts and ensures your piano is transported upright and safely loaded.

Are There Extra Charges?

Yes — piano moves require extra time, equipment, and manpower. We’ll provide a flat quote or additional hourly estimate depending on the type of piano, access (stairs/elevators), and distance.

Can You Move Pianos Up or Down Stairs?

Yes, but we need to know in advance. Certain staircases or tight landings may require additional planning or crew. We’ll do a quick walkthrough (or ask for photos) to assess the best approach.

Do You Tune the Piano After Moving?

We don’t offer tuning services, but we recommend tuning the piano a few days after the move — once it acclimates to its new environment.

Moving Tips & Guides

How To Label Boxes explained in our moving guide

How to Label Boxes for a Move – A Simple System That Works

Why Labeling Boxes Properly Matters

A good labeling system makes your move easier and your unpacking faster. It helps movers know where each box goes and lets you find what you need without opening every box.

1. Use a Black Marker or Pre-Made Labels

Write clearly on multiple sides of the box — not just the top. Waterproof markers work best. You can also use printed color-coded labels for each room.

2. Always Include the Room Name

Label each box with its destination room: “Kitchen,” “Living Room,” “Master Bedroom,” etc. This helps movers place boxes directly where they belong.

3. Add a Brief List of Contents

Write 2–3 key items on the box so you know what’s inside. For example: “Plates, bowls, silverware” or “Books, lamp cords, clock.”

4. Prioritize Boxes by Importance

Use symbols like a star or “Open First” for your essential boxes. These could include bathroom items, bedding, or kitchen basics you’ll need right away.

5. Number Your Boxes

Keep a master inventory list on your phone or in a notebook. Numbering boxes helps track them during the move and ensures nothing gets lost.

Bonus Tip: Label Fragile Items Clearly

Use “FRAGILE” and arrows to indicate which side is up. This alerts movers to handle those boxes with extra care.
