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.

Moving Tips & Guides
Best Time to Move in Los Angeles – Save Money and Avoid Stress
Timing Your Move Can Make All the Difference
Moving in Los Angeles isn’t just about packing boxes — when you move can affect everything from price to parking. Here’s what iBox Moving recommends when picking your moving date.
1. Best Season to Move
Fall and Winter are usually less busy, meaning better rates and more availability. Spring is moderate, while summer (May–August) is peak season — great weather, but higher demand and pricing.
2. Best Month
The beginning and end of each month are busiest due to rental cycles. If possible, schedule your move for the middle of the month to get better deals and more flexible times.
3. Best Day of the Week
Weekdays (Monday–Thursday) are often cheaper and easier to book than weekends. If you're flexible, choose a mid-week move for the best experience.
4. Best Time of Day
Start early! Morning moves avoid LA traffic and give you more time to settle in. Movers are also fresher and more efficient at the beginning of the day.
Bonus: Weather Tips
Check the forecast — even in LA, occasional rain can cause delays. Let your movers know if there’s anything weather-sensitive so they can prepare accordingly.
Plan Ahead for the Best Results
Booking 2–4 weeks in advance ensures your preferred date and time. Need help deciding? Contact iBox Moving and we’ll help you pick the perfect time for a smooth and affordable move.

FAQ
How to Tip Movers – Etiquette & Guidelines from iBox Moving
How Should I Tip the Movers?
Tipping is never required — but always appreciated. If your moving crew did a great job, a tip is a meaningful way to say thank you. At iBox Moving, our teams work hard to deliver excellent service, and many clients choose to reward them for it.
How Much Should I Tip?
There’s no fixed rule, but here are some common tipping guidelines:
- $20–$40 per mover for small half-day jobs
- $50–$100 per mover for full-day moves
- Or tip 10–20% of the total cost, divided between the team
Do I Tip Each Mover Separately?
You can — or give the full amount to the team lead (foreman) to divide evenly. Either way works fine.
Should I Tip in Cash or Digitally?
Cash is the most common, but you can also use Venmo, Zelle, or another app if the crew agrees. Just ask them what works best.
Is It Okay Not to Tip?
Absolutely. Tipping is optional. We never pressure clients to tip — we just aim to earn it through hard work, care, and great attitude.
Other Ways to Show Appreciation
- Leave a positive review mentioning your movers by name
- Offer water, snacks, or coffee during the job
- Refer us to friends or neighbors
