Commercial Moving
We are equipped to handle the transport of not only office furniture, but computers and other sensitive electronic equipment. We also understand that office moves need to be performed at a time that is most convenient for your business. For this reason, we offer after-hours and weekend office moving services designed to avoid disrupting your employees during crucial business time.
Our office and industrial moving consultant will work with you to determine where each piece of office equipment should be placed in your new location. This pre-planning will enable us to perform your move quickly and accurately.
Residential Moving
Whether you are moving locally or long distance, Blue Line Moving & Storage can help. We can assist you in your move from packing your belongings, to carefully loading our vans, to setting up your furniture in your new home.
Our experience and commitment to quality allow us to offer dependable household moving services that are unsurpassed in the moving industry.
International Moving
Keep peace of mind during your next international move. With Blue Line Moving & Storage and the extended United network, we make sure that moving across the world is as stress free as moving across town.
With international moving, there are more variables to take into account:
Specialty packing practices.
Clearing customs in various countries.
Storage needs, depending on the length of your international relocation.
At Blue Line Moving & Storage in Cedar Falls, Iowa we take these into account and make sure that your international relocation is tailored to your specific needs. Contact us to find out how we can assist you in everything from preparing all the necessary documents for shipping, customs and valuation, to adjusting to a new culture in a foreign country.
If you are moving to a different state, the charges will be based on the weight of your
shipment and mileage—these are referred to as the transportation charges.
There are a variety of different moving charges that can potentially appear on your estimate,
so be sure to ask your relocation specialist to explain each charge for you.
Some additional charges that may appear include packing, crating, valuation or coverage,
bulky article charge (for oversized items), and extra labor. Again, please be certain you
fully understand these charges so that you can accurately compare the estimates you receive.
All movers are required to prepare an order for service before they transport your shipment.
The order for service provides you with written confirmation of the moving services that you
requested to be performed in conjunction with your shipment. It also lists the agreed upon
dates for the pickup and delivery of your shipment and amount of valuation that you requested,
along with any special services that you ordered.
It also features a place and telephone number where the mover can contact you during the move.
Additionally, the order for service shows the charges that you will be assessed for your
household move or corporate relocation. If you are moving under a non-binding estimate,
the order for service will indicate the amount of the estimated non-binding charges,
the method of payment for the charges and, in cases where the actual charges exceed the
non-binding estimate, the maximum amount that you are required to pay at the time of delivery
in order to obtain possession of your shipment (you will have 30 days following delivery to
pay the balance of the charges due). If you are moving under a binding estimate,
the order for service will show the charges that you will be required to pay at delivery,
based on the binding estimate and the terms of payment. You and your mover must sign the
order for service.
