FAQ

How do I get an estimate?

Just fill out the simple estimate request on our website. We’ll reply in a timely fashion.?

How long in advance should I contact you?

While we often are available for last-minute moves, better to book as far in advance as you can.

Is there a minimum charge for the move?

We employ a 3-hour minimum.

Should the contents of drawers be removed?

Please have all of your drawers emptied out for the safety of your furniture, your property, and our team.

What can be left in drawers?

As long as you don’t jam-pack them, it is ok to leave clothes, towels, linens, and those sorts of items in the drawers. Keep in mind that the furniture is going to be lifted, so if it has an excessive amount of items, it might make the piece unwieldy and cumbersome. That said, as long as you leave an appropriate amount of items in the furniture, it can be a great way to save time and boxes.

If the furniture needs to be navigated through a winding staircase or some other challenging obstacles in order to move it, it is best to remove everything completely – even the drawers themselves. The furniture may need to be flipped on its side or upside-down, and removing the drawers will ensure that they don’t get rattled around or fall out.

Can you take down/hang our artwork, TV, AC's?

At the move-out location, we can generally remove artwork, TVs, and AC’s; but at the move-in location, we cannot make holes in the wall, hang artwork, install AC’s, hang TVs, etc.

Will the charges be exactly what you estimated?

Probably not. Our estimates are comprised of Travel Time, Time and Surcharges. While the Travel Time and Surcharges are fixed, the time will be determined by how long it takes to move you and charged accordingly. Also, our estimates do not reflect charges for Materials, COIs, Tolls, Parking or Gratuities.

How do I cover my belongings?

We offer 2 types of insurance

Option A – basic liability $.60 per lbs per article

Option B – 3rd party insurance: we are affiliated with moving insurance (contact us for more info)

I am not as prepared as I’d hoped, is it a problem?

No problem. We will do as much or as little as you like, although the more time it takes, the more, it will cost.

Will my furniture be protected?

Yes, our trucks are fully stocked with heavy duty moving blankets which are included in our rates.

Am I responsible for parking tickets?

Yes. Our customers are responsible for providing us with valid parking. If loading dock/parking isn’t available our truck would have to be parked at an illegal place, which may result in receiving a parking violation.

Can I move house plants?

Yes, but we will not be responsible for delicate plants that are not meant to be moved.

Are there items that cannot be moved?

“Non-allowable” is an industry term for hazardous items professional movers will not transport and are those generally considered explosive, flammable or corrosive.

Do you have moving supplies on the truck?

Yes, our trucks are fully stocked with any moving supplies you may need for your move.

Can jewelry and other valuables be moved?

Yes, but better for you to move these things.

Do you offer discounts?

No, DOT prohibits licensed movers from offering discounts.

How much will my move cost?

For put it simply, the move will be the sum of Travel Time (fixed) + Surcharges + Time it takes to complete the move + materials, tolls/parking, COIs.

What is Travel Time?

Travel time is a fixed charge that compensates us for getting the truck & crew to the load location to begin the job, and from the destination location to the next job or back to our lot.

    Had a great experience moving with them! Nico is very responsive and easy to communicate with and the three guys moving were professional, attentive, friendly, and hard working. Everything arrived on time and as planned. We are planning to use them again for our next move.

    They were COVID-safe wearing masks and being professional the whole time but also had some fun doing the work, which was nice to see. We would definitely use them again for our next move.

    My husband and I hired Poseidon Moving for our December move. They were very up front about pricing before the move. The three-person crew who moved us were very cautious with all of our belongings. Nothing was broken or damaged.

    Poseidon was fast, efficient, and very professional. They got me from New York to Boston with very little hassle and was super budget friendly compared to other services that I reached out to. They were flexible with timing changes and unforeseen circumstances. Altogether highly recommend.

    Absolutely awesome moving experience with Poseidon Moving. The guys who picked up were extremely careful with all of my stuff including a large mirror, and moved everything out of my 3rd floor walk up. And then Jayshon and his team helped move me into my new home, they were very efficient and careful. Everything arrived in perfect condition. My building has strict guidelines around the elevator policy and Jayshon was able to accommodate coming earlier to make that happen. Finally, Jann who was the account manager was so wonderful. She was extremely responsive when I emailed or call, she communicated with my building to make things easier for me and she made the overall move stress free and easy. The entire Poseidon team was so professional, hardworking and trustworthy. I would absolutely recommend them.

  • Booked them through unpakt but would book direct next time (so they don’t have to use a middle man). Great customer service, super on top of it - reached out ahead of schedule multiple times to ask and answer questions and confirm. Move day was seamless even with a toddler running around the house the guys were great. Moved out stuff from Boston to NJ and arrived early the next day with our stuff and were done quickly. Would definitely use them again for our next move!

    We had a great experience with the Poseidon Moving Company - moving from Boston, Ma to San Diego, Ca. This move included a piano and car, both of which arrived in great condition! They were on time to both pick-up and drop-off. Shota, the lead on our move, was fantastic and made sure we were happy where all the furniture was set up before they packed up to leave. Insurance is pricey, about the same cost as the actual move.... I don’t have enough context to know whether that’s reasonable or not. All in all, would definitely recommend for a move that’s too much to do on your own.

    I first used Poseidon Movers in Dec 2020 for an out-of-state move. They did a wonderful job from start-to-finish. Nico and Jay were articulate and thorough in all the planning and scheduling. Their crew is prompt, professional, and right on the money. They were so good, I called them for a second job a few weeks ago; and once again they delivered. This is the moving company you call when you need to get it done. They are courteous, prompt, professional; and (most of all) HONEST. If I ever need moving services again, Poseidon Moving is who I am calling. I give them SIX out of 5 stars; and I am not a paid spokesman. Thanks Guys!!!
