Testimonials

We didn't have HWC out to do a "full move" - instead, they were here to help move a heavy piece of delicate computer equipment up to the second floor studio/office of my new home. They were frankly amazing - they were friendly, thorough, careful, and somehow managed to move something that I was afraid would spend the rest of its existence in my living room around 2 tight corners and up a full flight of stairs without so much as bumping a wall or scraping the case of the device. I hope I don't have to do anything like that again soon, but if I do, you can bet that I'll call Handle With Care to live up to their name for me again. ChrisI have the highest respect for Handle With Care Moving Company and their moving staff.Thank you, Debbie W.I want everyone to know that I was very happy with the service I received in my move. The young men worked very quickly and didnt waste any time. I would use them again if I ever have to move.Thank you, Jean O.Excellent Job moving us in May 2009. Would recommend you to anyone. I Have used your company twice.Joseph K.Interesting that I should receive your email today while HWC is moving my daughter. HWC moved me to California early in 2000 and to Muskegon, MI last May. There is nobody like HWC, down to business, truly helpful, honest resourceful and super competent. I tell everybody about them and no one has ever been disappointed. In the midst of the difficulties of moving they bring confidence and take away worry. LaurenI could not have chosen a better moving company than Handle with Care. I have many valuable antiques so when I asked my antiques dealer for a recommendation, Handle With Care was his only recommendation. They were punctual, careful, hardworking, and knowledgeable. Many of my pieces of furniture had to be cracked down & reassembled. They did so without incident. They placed rugs & furniture in appointed places and even changed them when asked. It was a pleasure working with them and the price was right on.Thank you Handle With Care, Pat A.I'm afraid I'm not up-to-date on the social networking sites, but I can tell you I was extremely pleased with your company. The men who arrived to handle our move were professional, thorough and very nice. They did a great job, and I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone.Diana G.I just want to let you know that the crew who were helping us move has done a great job. My family has been very satisfied with their work. I would like to recommend your company to my friends in the future. Thanks again for the help.JingwenI just wanted to compliment the young men who helped me move this morning. They called to alert me before their arrival (as I had requested), they arrived ahead of schedule, they worked quickly and carefully, and they treated me and my belongings with the utmost respect. Despite the difficulties of my move (two narrow staircases and limited parking for the truck), they completed their work successfully and without complaint. With my husband being deployed, I had been dreading this move. However, thanks to the workers today, my move was smooth and caused me very little stress. I would recommend these three movers to other clients without hesitation.Emily A.I wanted to tell you how delighted I was with the Handle With Care crew that did my local move today. The crew leader and his colleagues were polite, professional and very capable despite working on such a hot day. They were a pleasure to work with. Because of that, I will be using Handle With Care when I move to Chicago later this year and I will not hesitate to recommend you to my friends. Thanks again for sending such good staff members. Looking forward to completing my move with you down the road.Best, Micki M.I just wanted to thank you for moving us to Seattle, WA six years ago, and this is over due. Happy new year and best wishes to you and your family.Sincerely, Shapoor F.I wanted to let you know how pleased I was with your company and the 3 movers that moved us! All 3 guys were great and Andy was wonderful to deal with! My hats off to you for providing such great service!Sincerely, Michelle M.I thought that the folks that delivered our monstrous cabinet did a wonderful job. They were careful and had good attention to detail. It was obvious that they were concerned about getting this very special piece of furniture delivered safely. In addition, the men were pleasant and businesslike. I appreciated their service.Ann V.I appreciate the outstanding service your staff provided to me during this transition for my family. The movers were very careful and courteous, and I could not have had a better experience. I have recommended your company to others already, and I will not hesitate to use your services in the future if needed. Thank you!Tangila T.We were very happy with the service from Handle With Care. We had three men move two pieces of furniture within our home. They were both heavy - especially the metal office desk. Each piece had to be moved around bannisters and narrow hallways. They accomplished the move within 15 minutes and were very pleasant. We would use your company again. Jack and Jean D.

Intro to Long Distance and Local Moving Paperwork Here's where we can help you with any questions you might have. Moving can be a stressful experience so we want to make as relaxing for you as we possibly can. This information, including additional information can be found on the left at www.protectyourmove.com.About the Bill of Lading The Bill of Lading is the contract between you and the mover (HWC). The mover is required by law to prepare a bill of lading for every shipment it transports. *Note this document is primarily for long-distance moves. It may also be listed as a "work order" for local moves.The information on the Bill of Lading is required to be the same information shown on the order for service. The driver who loads your shipment must give you a copy of the Bill of Lading before loading your furniture. It is your responsibility to read the Bill of Lading before you accept it The Bill of Lading requires the mover to provide the service you have requested, and you must pay the charges for the service upon delivery.THE BILL OF LADING IS AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT. DO NOT LOSE OR MISPLACE YOUR COPY. Have it available until your shipment is delivered, all charges are paid and all claims, if any, are settled. About Local Moving "Work Orders"If you are moving locally, you will receive a copy of a "work order", or more commonly known as a service request or service summary. This is a very important document in that it shows all of the information needed for the your move. The work order should list your origin and destination addresses, your contact information, and the travel rate, hourly rate, and any other charges you may have already incurred. Also on your work order, there should be a line for your signature as well as a line for you to write any damages that may have happened during the move. *Note, this is very important, if you do not write any damages on the paperwork and sign for a "free and clear" delivery, you are releasing the movers from any and all liability for any damages. Please inspect your belongings before signing for the delivery.You have 9 months following either the date of delivery, or the date on which the shipment should have been delivered, to file a claim. However, you should file a claim as soon as possible. If you fail to file a claim within 120 days following delivery and later bring a legal action against the mover to recover the damages, you may not be able to recover your attorney fees even though you win the court action.Inventory At the time the (HWC) mover's driver loads your shipment, he or she usually inventories your shipment listing any damage or unusual wear. The purpose is to make a record of the condition of each item. An inventory list is only required for long-distance moving. If the driver does not make an inventory, you should make one yourself.At the time your shipment is delivered, it is your responsibility to check the items delivered against the items listed on your inventory. If new damage is discovered, make a record of it on the inventory form. Call the damage to the attention of the driver and request that a record of the damage be made on the driver's copy of the inventory. After the complete shipment is unloaded, the driver will request that you sign the driver's copy of the inventory to show that you received the items listed. Do not sign until you have assured yourself that it is accurate and that proper notations have been entered regarding any missing or damaged items. When you sign the inventory, you are giving the driver a receipt for your goods.Damages and ClaimsOn shipments with partial loss or destruction of goods, the transportation charges must be paid. The mover will then return proportional freight charges at the time loss and damage claims are processed. Should your entire shipment be lost or destroyed while in the mover's possession, the mover cannot require you to pay any of the charges except the amount you have paid or agreed to pay for added liability protection. *Note - Handle With Care is fully insured. Our information may be viewed on the left by downloading our informational packet.Should your move result in loss or damage to any of your property, you have the right to file a claim with the mover (HWC) to recover money for such loss or damage.Filing a claim is a simple process in which the mover (HWC) will send you the appropriate claim forms should you need any damage assessed and repaired/replaced. You can download any claim forms needed from HWC on the left.

Packing

Packing 101: Tips and Other Information...

continued...Heavy Items on the Bottom/Lighter Items on the Top:In each carton the heavier items should be placed at the bottom and the lighter items on top to prevent damage.Use A Lot of Paper:All breakable items should be wrapped individually in paper. Paper should be used to cushion the bottom, sides and top of cartons. We do have paper available for sale.Place Glass and Fragile Items in the Box Correctly:Plates should be stacked vertically as if in a dish drain; glasses and stemware should be placed in an upright position; again, use plenty of paper on all fragile and breakable items.Do Not Over-Fill the Boxes:Fill all boxes to the top without overfilling. Boxes with items sticking over the top cannot be properly closed or stacked; boxes that are underfilled tend to crush when stacked. Always make sure each carton is filled totally to the top before closing. A small space at the top can be filled with paper, a towel, a blanket or other similar items.Close Each Box Properly & Seal With Tape:Boxes should be closed-top and sealed with tape to prevent damage and make stacking easier.Label Each Box:Use a felt pen to clearly label each box as to its general contents and the room it is to be placed in at destination. Label on the side of each box rather than on the top so that cartons in stacks can be identified. If a box is packed in a manner that requires it to be always kept in an upright position, draw arrows on each side indicating which end must always be kept up. Any boxes containing particularly fragile items should be labeled as such.Stack Boxes:Time will be saved on your move if you arrange boxes in stacks of similar sized boxes four to five feet high. This enables the boxes to be easily transported from the house to the truck.
How to Pack BoxesPlan Ahead to Obtain Any Necessary Boxes:We can sell you any boxes and supplies you might need in addition to other packing material such as paper and tape. You might save a substantial amount of money, however, by obtaining these items from other sources such as friends who have recently moved and/or stores. Starting to collect supplies a month or two prior to your move will probably make it possible to obtain enough.Heavy items such as books should be put in book boxes. Some items such as large pictures, mirrors, glass tops and shelves, clocks, and mattresses may require special boxes which we can provide, and in some cases find for you.Some Items May Not Be Necessary to Pack: When you are moving locally, some items do not necessarily need to be packed. Items such as mirrors, large pictures and mattresses can usually be transported safely for short distances without packing. However, we will recommend shrink-wrapping and blanket wrapping to keep these items from becoming dirty or damaged. Generally, these items should be packed for long distance move and for shipments moving into storage. Lamps and lampshades should always be packed.Pack One Room at a Time:Packing can appear to be an overwhelming and time-consuming task when viewed from the perspective of the entire house. Packing one room at a time (and staying with that room until it is fully packed) has the effect of dividing the overall task into several smaller and more manageable tasks. This approach also makes it possible to set realistic goals, i.e. pack the dining room today, the kitchen tomorrow, etc.Tape the Bottom of the Boxes:Taping the bottom of boxes before filling them prevents the contents from spilling out the bottom during the move.
