You may use our website for lawful purposes only.
You agree not to misuse the website, interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, submit false or misleading information, upload malicious code, copy website content without permission, or use the website in a way that violates applicable law or infringes the rights of others.

We do not guarantee that the website will always be available, error-free, secure, or uninterrupted.
Our website, forms, phone systems, chat tools, and messaging systems are not emergency-response services.
If there is a life-safety emergency, medical emergency, fire, crime, gas leak, electrical hazard, or other urgent danger, contact emergency services or the appropriate utility, property manager, or public authority.
A quote or estimate is based on the information available at the time it is prepared.
Moving prices can depend on inventory, access conditions, packing needs, distance, truck access, stairs, elevators, long carries, heavy items, specialty items, crew size, materials, scheduling, waiting time, and customer readiness.
An estimate is not a final bill unless it is expressly identified in writing as a binding flat-rate agreement.
Most local moving services are subject to actual time, service conditions, materials used, and changes in the move scope.
The final price may change if:
The actual inventory is larger or different than described.
The pickup or delivery access is more difficult than described.
Stairs, elevators, long carries, shuttles, parking limits, gate delays, or building rules affect the work.
Packing, materials, disassembly, reassembly, specialty handling, or additional labor is needed.
Additional stops, storage, waiting time, rescheduling, or route changes are requested.
The customer is not ready when the crew arrives.
Unsafe, impractical, or undisclosed conditions are discovered.
We try to provide clear and practical estimates, but the accuracy of an estimate depends heavily on the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by the customer.
You are responsible for providing complete and accurate information about your move.
This includes pickup and delivery addresses, apartment or unit numbers, stairs, elevators, parking conditions, gate codes, building rules, truck access, inventory, heavy items, fragile items, appliances, packing needs, and special instructions.
If you use an inventory tool, quote form, phone estimate, video estimate, photo estimate, or written inventory list, you agree to provide the best available information and to notify us promptly if the move changes.
Common changes that should be reported before move day include:
More boxes than originally listed.
Additional furniture or appliances.
Large garage, patio, shed, storage, or outdoor items.
Heavy items such as safes, pianos, exercise equipment, stone pieces, or large appliances.
Elevator restrictions or loading dock rules.
Narrow roads, steep driveways, low branches, difficult truck parking, or long carries.
Packing that is not complete before the crew arrives.
Additional pickup or delivery stops.
Failure to disclose accurate move information may result in additional charges, delays, incomplete service, rescheduling, or refusal of unsafe work.
Scheduled dates, start times, and arrival windows are based on availability, routing, crew schedules, prior jobs, weather, traffic, customer readiness, equipment availability, and other operating factors.
We work to arrive within the stated window, but moving work is variable. Arrival windows are estimates, not guarantees, unless a specific written agreement says otherwise.
Delays may occur because of traffic, road closures, weather, mechanical issues, prior job delays, customer delays, building restrictions, safety issues, or circumstances beyond our control.
You agree to be available or to provide an authorized representative during the scheduled service window.
The representative must have authority to answer questions, approve changes, provide access, sign documents if required, and make payment arrangements.
We may require a deposit, booking fee, minimum charge, prepayment, card on file, or other payment arrangement before scheduling or performing service.
Payment terms will be stated in the estimate, invoice, booking confirmation, service agreement, or other written communication.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due according to the payment terms provided for the specific service.
We may accept payment by approved methods such as credit card, debit card, electronic invoice, or other authorized payment methods.
You agree to pay all properly incurred charges, including service charges, labor, travel, materials, packing supplies, additional services, waiting time, extra stops, rescheduling fees, cancellation fees, disposal fees, storage-related charges, or other charges disclosed in writing or approved during the job.
If a payment is declined, reversed, disputed, or unpaid, you remain responsible for the balance unless the charge is resolved in your favor through a legitimate dispute process.
We may use lawful collection methods for unpaid balances, including collection agencies, attorneys, liens where available, or court action.
Cancellation and rescheduling rules may vary by service type, schedule pressure, deposit status, crew allocation, season, and written agreement.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, notify us as early as possible.
Late cancellations, last-minute rescheduling, no-shows, access failures, or customer unreadiness may result in forfeited deposits, fees, minimum charges, or other charges stated in your written service terms.
A move may be considered not ready if packing is incomplete, access is unavailable, payment arrangements are not in place, required building permissions are missing, or the move conditions are materially different from what was represented.
Before the crew arrives, you are responsible for:
Completing all self-packing unless packing service has been arranged.
Disconnecting electronics and appliances unless a specific service has been arranged.
Removing cash, jewelry, medications, firearms, important documents, personal records, and other high-value or sensitive items.
Securing pets and children away from active work areas.
Clearing walkways, stairs, driveways, and access routes.
Arranging parking, gate access, elevator reservations, loading dock access, HOA approval, or building approval.
Notifying us of hazards, difficult access, fragile property conditions, or unusual items.
Ensuring that you or an authorized representative is present and available.
Customer readiness is one of the biggest factors in cost, efficiency, and damage prevention.
You are responsible for obtaining required permissions for moving trucks, elevators, loading zones, gates, parking areas, private streets, HOA communities, apartment communities, condominiums, storage facilities, office buildings, or other controlled locations.
You are responsible for informing us about:
Elevator reservations.
Move-in or move-out time limits.
Insurance certificate requirements.
Loading dock rules.
Gate codes or security procedures.
Street parking restrictions.
HOA restrictions on trucks, trailers, or containers.
Long carries or truck-access limitations.
Low branches, steep driveways, loose gravel, narrow roads, or restricted turnarounds.
If we cannot safely or lawfully access the pickup or delivery location, additional charges, delays, shuttle arrangements, rescheduling, or service refusal may apply.
Unless you hire us for packing service, you are responsible for packing your belongings safely before move day.
Customer-packed boxes should be fully packed, closed flat, taped securely, and labeled by room and general contents.
Boxes should not be overfilled, underfilled, leaking, open, unstable, or too heavy to carry safely.
Heavy items should be packed in small boxes.
Fragile items should be packed with sufficient clean packing paper and internal cushioning.
Kitchen-sized countertop appliances should be boxed.
Liquids, food, hazardous items, and prohibited items should not be packed in ordinary moving boxes.
We are not responsible for damage to the contents of boxes, containers, bins, bags, or other items packed by the customer when the damage results from improper packing, hidden fragility, insufficient cushioning, overloading, underpacking, prior condition, or contents unknown to us.
If you hire us for packing service, the scope of packing will be based on the written agreement, estimate, or customer instructions.
Packing service may be full, partial, fragile-only, kitchen-only, or otherwise limited.
Packing materials may be included or charged separately depending on the agreement.
Materials may include boxes, tape, blank newsprint, mattress bags, stretch wrap, furniture pads, specialty cartons, or other supplies.
We may refuse to pack unsafe, unsanitary, illegal, hazardous, leaking, perishable, or prohibited items.
We may refuse to move, pack, transport, store, or handle items that are hazardous, illegal, unsafe, unsanitary, perishable, unusually valuable, improperly prepared, or outside the agreed service scope.
Examples may include:
Hazardous chemicals, fuels, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pesticides, fireworks, explosives, ammunition, flammables, and compressed gases.
Perishable food, open liquids, leaking containers, plants when not agreed, or items that may attract pests.
Cash, jewelry, securities, financial documents, passports, birth certificates, medications, medical records, sentimental irreplaceable items, and personal valuables.
Firearms, ammunition, safes, weapons, or regulated items unless specifically disclosed and accepted under lawful and safe conditions.
Live animals.
Items infested by pests, mold, biohazards, or contamination.
Items that cannot be moved safely because of size, weight, condition, access, or lack of required equipment.
You should personally transport irreplaceable documents, medications, personal electronics, valuables, and essential items.
Unless specifically agreed in writing, you are responsible for disconnecting and preparing appliances, electronics, water lines, gas lines, electrical connections, icemakers, washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, televisions, computers, audio systems, security systems, and similar items before the move.
We are not responsible for plumbing, gas, electrical, data, wall-mounted, or built-in disconnection or reconnection unless expressly included in a written agreement and performed within the scope of our capabilities.
Some appliances require special preparation, drying, stabilization, shipping bolts, or manufacturer-specific procedures.
We may refuse to move appliances that are leaking, unsafe, connected, wet, improperly prepared, or likely to cause damage.
We may provide basic furniture disassembly and reassembly when included in the service scope and when the item can be safely handled with ordinary tools and ordinary moving procedures.
You are responsible for disclosing items that require special tools, manufacturer instructions, wall-mount removal, built-in removal, electrical disconnection, complex assembly, glass removal, fragile hardware, antique handling, or specialty service.
We are not responsible for missing hardware that was not secured, labeled, or provided to the crew.
We are not responsible for reassembly problems caused by prior damage, stripped hardware, missing parts, weak construction, particleboard failure, or customer disassembly before our arrival.
You must disclose fragile, high-value, unusually heavy, oversized, antique, or specialty items before booking.
These may include pianos, safes, pool tables, exercise equipment, marble, stone, glass, artwork, antiques, large mirrors, chandeliers, aquariums, arcade machines, medical equipment, and unusually fragile furniture.
Specialty items may require additional movers, special equipment, crating, third-party service, lift gate service, or a separate estimate.
We may decline to move an item if we determine it cannot be moved safely or is outside our service scope.
Furniture, homes, walls, floors, doors, appliances, and household goods may have pre-existing wear, weakness, defects, loose parts, poor assembly, age-related deterioration, prior repairs, veneer issues, particleboard weakness, unstable legs, existing scratches, or structural problems.
We are not responsible for damage caused by pre-existing condition, inherent vice, ordinary wear, weak construction, prior damage, aging materials, loose joints, poor prior assembly, or items that fail under normal handling.
We may document pre-existing conditions with photos, notes, or written observations before or during service.
We make reasonable efforts to protect customer property during service.
However, moving large items through homes, stairs, elevators, narrow doorways, tight corners, low ceilings, fragile flooring, delicate landscaping, steep driveways, and older structures carries inherent risk.
You are responsible for telling us about fragile surfaces, weak railings, delicate flooring, low-clearance areas, irrigation lines, septic covers, fragile pavers, historic finishes, loose steps, weak decks, or other property conditions that may affect the move.
We may request that doors, railings, gates, or other obstacles be removed by qualified persons when necessary for safe access.
We are not responsible for damage caused by inadequate access, undisclosed property conditions, or customer-directed attempts to move items through spaces that are too tight or unsafe.
Moving liability is not the same as ordinary homeowner’s insurance or replacement-cost insurance.
The protection available for a move may depend on the service type, written agreement, applicable law, valuation selection, exclusions, and claims process.
For interstate household-goods moves, federal rules require movers to offer valuation options known as Full Value Protection and Released Value Protection. Local and intrastate moves may be subject to different rules and service terms.
Any claim for loss or damage must be reported promptly and submitted according to the claims process stated in the written agreement or provided by Moving Buddies.
You may be required to provide photos, descriptions, repair estimates, receipts, inventory information, and access for inspection.
We are not responsible for damage caused by customer packing, hidden defects, pre-existing condition, prohibited items, perishable items, ordinary wear, customer direction against advice, items not disclosed, items moved by others, or items packed or loaded by the customer before our involvement.
For labor-only service, loading, unloading, rental-truck help, portable-container help, storage-unit help, or customer-provided transportation, our responsibility is limited to the labor and services we directly provide.
Unless expressly agreed in writing, we do not provide the truck, container, trailer, fuel, transportation, rental coverage, container transportation, storage, container placement, or responsibility for conditions controlled by third parties.
For customer-rented trucks, trailers, storage units, or portable containers, you are responsible for the equipment provider’s rules, weight limits, prohibited items, insurance options, condition of equipment, transportation, parking, container placement, pickup and delivery scheduling, and safe driving.
We are not responsible for damage caused by customer driving, third-party transportation, container handling, storage-provider activity, equipment defects, shifting after the load leaves our control, or customer changes to the load after our work is complete.
If your move involves storage, a storage unit, warehouse, portable container, apartment community, building manager, property manager, or other third party, you are responsible for that third party’s rules, fees, access hours, insurance requirements, account status, and restrictions unless otherwise stated in writing.
We are not responsible for delays, access refusals, lockouts, facility closures, elevator outages, gate malfunctions, or third-party scheduling problems outside our control.
Moving work may be affected by heat, monsoon storms, lightning, flooding, smoke, wind, road closures, unsafe stairs, loose animals, pests, unsanitary conditions, hostile persons, illegal activity, unsafe parking, inadequate lighting, or other hazards.
We may delay, suspend, modify, or refuse service if we determine that conditions are unsafe for the crew, customer, public, property, equipment, or goods.
Additional time or charges may apply when work must be slowed, interrupted, rerouted, or rescheduled because of conditions beyond our control.
We may refuse, pause, or stop service when:
Conditions are unsafe, illegal, unsanitary, hostile, or materially different from what was disclosed.
Payment arrangements are not in place.
The customer refuses reasonable paperwork, required approvals, or payment terms.
The customer requests unsafe handling or illegal transportation.
The move includes undisclosed hazardous, prohibited, oversized, or specialty items.
Access is not available.
The customer or third party harasses, threatens, or interferes with the crew.
If service is stopped or rescheduled because of customer conduct, nonpayment, unsafe conditions, or inaccurate information, charges may still apply for time, travel, materials, and work already performed.
