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.

Eco-Friendly Moving in Los Angeles – Green Relocation Tips from iBox Moving

Move Greener with iBox Moving

Moving doesn't have to leave a big carbon footprint. At iBox Moving, we care about sustainability. Whether you're relocating across LA or just a few blocks away, here are smart, eco-friendly moving tips to help protect the planet while you move.

1. Declutter and Donate

Don’t waste time and fuel moving things you don’t need. Donate, sell, or recycle items before you pack. Local shelters and donation centers are happy to receive clothes, furniture, and household goods.

2. Use Reusable Packing Materials

Skip the single-use cardboard boxes when possible. Instead, rent or buy reusable plastic bins. You can also use blankets, towels, and clothes to wrap fragile items instead of bubble wrap.

3. Recycle and Reuse Boxes

If you do use cardboard boxes, try sourcing them from friends, neighbors, or local stores. After your move, recycle them or offer them online through community boards.

4. Choose Eco-Friendly Supplies

Use biodegradable packing peanuts, recyclable paper tape, and other green alternatives to traditional packing materials. Every little swap helps!

5. Minimize Trips

Plan your move efficiently to reduce fuel use. Fewer trips mean fewer emissions — and lower costs too. Our team can help you optimize loads for a single clean trip.

6. Hire a Green Moving Company

At iBox Moving, we train our movers to reduce waste and use fuel-efficient practices. When you move with us, you’re making a smart choice for the environment and your belongings.

Make Your Move Earth-Friendly

We’re committed to sustainability and happy to help you move responsibly. Ask about our green options when booking your next relocation in Los Angeles.

How to Prepare for Your Move – FAQs from iBox Moving

How Should I Prepare for Moving Day?

Good preparation makes your move smoother, faster, and more stress-free. Whether you're packing yourself or using our services, a few simple steps can make a big difference.

General Prep Tips

  • Finish Packing Before Movers Arrive: Have boxes taped, labeled, and ready to go (unless you’ve booked our packing service).
  • Label Boxes Clearly: Indicate contents and destination room — e.g., “Kitchen – Fragile.”
  • Reserve Elevators or Parking: If you live in an apartment or high-rise, notify building management ahead of time.
  • Disconnect Appliances: Unplug washers, dryers, and refrigerators in advance.
  • Secure Pets and Kids: Keep them safely out of the way during the move for their safety and the crew’s.

Furniture Prep

  • Remove items from drawers to avoid shifting during transport
  • Disassemble beds and desks ahead of time (if you prefer to save time)
  • Take photos of complex setups (TV wiring, shelving, etc.) for easy reassembly

Valuables and Essentials

  • Keep jewelry, cash, documents, and laptops with you
  • Pack an “Essentials Box” with items you'll need right away — chargers, clothes, toiletries, etc.

What If I'm Not Fully Ready?

No problem — just let us know. We can help with packing, furniture disassembly, and more. It may affect timing, but we’ll make it work.
