With other DIY moves I've researched, the container or trailer is left at the originating address for some period of time. From what I've read it sounds like you guys show up and the truck/trailer is loaded at that time. Is there an option to have the trailer there for the loading to take place over the span of a weekend, for example? John,
Movex really prefers to load on your pickup day. We have found that leaving all of your worldly possessions in a moving van in front of your house over the weekend is a great way to have things stolen. That being said, if you take the whole truck and would like extra time to load it, we have options avaiable. Please call 800-876-6839 and one of our relocation specialists would be happy to assit you with the details.

We live in Truckee CA, up in the mountains. Our driveway is not that wide but pretty long. It is however on a very steep slope to get up the driveway. Is there dimensions on what your dirveway has to be?? Also, how much time do you have to load the truck whe it gets there? Liz,
We are very familiar with your area. The moving trucks that we provide are 53ft long. The slope on the driveway is the deal breaker here. The best we could do would be to park at the bottom of the mountain and have you shuttle your items to us with a smaller truck. I know this is inconvenient, but safety comes first and steep grades on narrow driveways makes for a very unsafe situation in a moving van.

I have a two door Explorer & about 50 sq ft of storage that needs to be moved from Los Angeles to Corla Springs Florida, can you guys actusally go to the Public Storage places?? Thanks! Martin,
Most public storage places have a special area designated for loading and unloading of moving trucks. The professionals that drive the moving trucks are very capable of parking in any place that can accommodate a tractor-trailer.

What is price range for move from NYC to Hilton Head, SC, 1 BR apartment? Thanks. Vince,
Since Movex utilizes 53' moving vans to provide the service, we are unable to help you with a move in New York City. We simply cannot navigate the tight streets. If you filled out one of the quote forms above, one of our relocation specialists will email you some ballpark rates shortly.

Here's the situation:
One couple lives in southern IL
One couple lives in northern OH
Both couples will be sharing an apartment in New York, New York
Is it possible for both couples to use the same transportation service or do we need to move separately? Lorna,
The hard part for us is not the IL and OH piece. We could certainly get a moving truck for you both to share. The problem is the delivery in Manhattan. The moving truck is 53ft long and cannot maneuver in NY City. You would need to rent a smaller truck and shuttle from our truck into the city - which kind of defeats the purpose. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you on that.

I need to move about 15000 pounds of stuff to a small, narrow, one lane road in the hills of los angeles, should I use a 26 footer or better off with two smaller trucks? Kate,
Movex provides its service on full-size, 53ft moving trucks. If you have a narrow access like you are describing above, you would need to have a smaller truck available to shuttle your goods to your home.

I live in Manhattan on a major thoroghfare, Amsterdam Ave. Is there any reason why a standard moving van wouldn' be able to access my house? I see many large trucks pass through here daily. Kiara,
You might see large trucks pass through, but you never see them park. Unforturnately, Movex cannot provide service to Manhattan and Brooklyn. If you would like to use our service, you would need to shuttle your goods to a safe parking/staging location in New Jersey. Sorry we cannot be of more service to our friends in New York, but New York is not very moving van friendly.

we live in canada(windsor) ust over the border from Detroit. can you move us? Karen,
Because we are a self service mover with the customer loading and unloading the moving truck, we cannot offer international shipments due to homeland security restrictions. You will need to use a full service mover that can provide you with a full manifest and border crossing liason.
Movex from teresa I. in CA - May 9, 2007
We're moving into a place in Brooklyn with limited street parking only. Would we still be able to use your service? Also, can you store our belongings for apprx 3 weeks before delivering? Teresa,
Brooklyn is the bane of the moving industry. It is nearly impossible to get moving trucks in and out of most areas. What we recommend is finding a location nearby that can easily accommodate a 53ft moving van and then shuttling your goods on a smaller truck to your street that has limited parking.
While we don't offer long-term storage, we can work with you in some situations to delay delivery. A call to one of our relocation specialists will help answer those questions.

do you service extremely northern calif (Klamath)to Deer Park Wa? I have 3 pieces of furniture and about 25 boxes that would take about 2.5 lineal feet, thanks, maggi Maggi,
Northwest California has some very goofy truck restrictions. I checked and we do not service Klamath (most cities west of I5 have truck restrictions that will not allow big moving vans into the area).
Sorry we can't help you on this one.
