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.

Let us know the size and type of piano, along with any access details. We’ll give you a fast quote and handle the rest with care and professionalism.

Moving Tips & Guides

Decluttering Before Move explained in our moving guide

Decluttering Before a Move – Smart Ways to Downsize and Save

Why Decluttering Is Essential Before You Move

Moving is the perfect opportunity to get rid of items you no longer need. Less stuff means less to pack, lower moving costs, and a cleaner start in your new space. Here’s how to declutter like a pro before moving day.

1. Start Early and Go Room by Room

Begin the decluttering process 3–4 weeks before your move. Tackle one area at a time — like a closet, kitchen, or garage — and sort everything into keep, donate, sell, or toss.

2. Be Honest About What You Use

If you haven’t used something in the last year, it’s probably time to let it go. Ask yourself if you would buy it again today — if not, consider parting with it.

3. Don’t Move Junk “Just in Case”

Resist the urge to bring unnecessary clutter to your new place. Moving it means paying more to transport something you don’t actually need.

4. Donate or Sell Items

Gently used clothes, books, furniture, and electronics can be donated or sold online. It’s a great way to lighten your load and help someone else.

5. Recycle or Trash What’s Broken

Broken items or things beyond repair should be responsibly recycled or discarded. Don’t let them take up valuable space in your moving truck.

Make Moving Day Easier

Decluttering reduces packing time and gives you more breathing room in your new home. Need help sorting or disposing of items? iBox Moving is here to assist — just ask during your quote!
