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
Do You Charge Hourly or Flat Rate? – iBox Moving FAQ
Do You Charge Hourly?
Yes — for most local moves within the Los Angeles area, iBox Moving charges an hourly rate. This gives you a flexible and fair price based on the actual time required for your move.
What’s Included in the Hourly Rate?
- Professional movers (typically 2 or 3 crew members)
- Fully equipped moving truck
- Furniture protection (blankets, shrink wrap)
- Basic disassembly and reassembly
- Loading, unloading, and transit time
How Is Time Calculated?
The clock starts when our team arrives at your location and stops when the move is complete at your new place. We include the travel time between locations, and we don’t round up unnecessarily.
Is There a Minimum?
Yes — most moves have a 2-hour minimum. After that, we bill in 15-minute increments to keep pricing fair and accurate.
Are There Flat Rates Available?
In some cases, like long-distance moves or commercial jobs, we can offer flat-rate pricing. Let us know your details and we’ll find the best option for your situation.

Moving Tips & Guides
What Not to Pack When Moving – Items You Should Never Load on the Truck
Some Things Are Better Left Out of the Truck
While most household items are safe to move, there are a few that should never go into the moving truck — for legal, safety, or practical reasons. Here’s what iBox Moving recommends keeping out of your moving boxes.
1. Flammable and Hazardous Materials
Gasoline, propane, paint thinners, matches, fire extinguishers, cleaning solvents, and similar items are not allowed. These materials pose a serious fire and safety risk during transport.
2. Perishable Food
Food that can spoil — dairy, meats, frozen or refrigerated items — should be consumed or donated before the move. These items can leak, attract pests, or spoil in transit.
3. Plants
Some states restrict plant transport across borders. In local moves, plants may still suffer from heat or jostling in the truck. It’s best to move them in your own vehicle with care.
4. Valuables and Personal Documents
Keep jewelry, passports, cash, legal documents, and essential medications with you — not in the truck. These items are irreplaceable and safer in your control.
5. Weapons and Ammunition
Firearms and ammo should be transported according to legal regulations, not by your moving company. Discuss options with a licensed dealer if needed.
6. Pets and Live Animals
No animals should ever be placed in a moving truck. Move your pets in a secure, temperature-controlled vehicle with plenty of breaks and comfort.
Questions About What’s Allowed?
iBox Moving is happy to guide you on what can and can’t go in the truck. Reach out before packing — we’ll help you avoid delays and keep your move safe and legal.
