REPUTATION
In 1993, Oz Moving & Storage did something no other moving company would ever dream of – they started putting the telephone number of the NYS DOT (the government agency that licenses and regulates moving companies) on the back of every truck and in every single advertisement. Every client that called for an estimate was advised to just “call the DOT before making your final decision”. Why did they do this? Simple – to encourage the public and potential clients to educate themselves before choosing a mover. At the time, the moving industry was full of fly-by-night scammers that ripped of people and made millions of dollars before closing up shops and re-opening under another name. By drawing the client in with a “low-ball” price, they continued to get rich at the public’s expense, and make it harder for legitimate hard working companies to make a living. What did this lead to? Local NYC Movers cleaning up their act. It became harder for scammers to scam now that people were informed, and when the consumers were scammed, they called the DOT to help resolve their issues. It also helped the DOT and FBI pin down the criminals. The more people were educated, the more they turned to the DOT and the more information and evidence they were able to collect. While we may not be most loved among our competition, our clients sure appreciate our honesty and integrity.

Long Distance moving is a monumental process in people’s lives. For most people, almost each part of their everyday life is about to change drastically. Planning a move in those circumstances can be incredibly stressful. Oz Moving’s approach to long distance moving is suited to help relieve our customers’ anxiety at each step of the process. Our goal at Oz is to provide the best possible service at the best possible price.

Our customers start their long distance journey with the quote process. An Oz Moving project manager comes to the customer’s home and assesses their belongings to ensure a fully accurate price, which prevents any last minute surprises for the customer. Then, the job is handed over to Oz’s long distance movers, who are there to provide tracking updates and answer any questions the customer has about their belongings’ transit. While en route to the moving destination, our trucks stop off at completely secure facilities so our customers can have peace of mind that their belongings are safe. When delivery day approaches, Oz provides our interstate moving customers with full details on how they can ensure our trucks can reach their homes safely and deliver their belongings in a secure fashion.

HOW WE MOVE PIANOS

Moving pianos, much like playing one, is an art that takes practice. Before we move a piano, we collect plenty of moving blankets to cover several parts of the piano, and plenty of tape to hold them in place. The blankets provide a layer of protection to the pianos smaller items would have provided via a moving box. First, we cover the piano keys themselves with blankets, to prevent them from shifting and getting damaged in transit. After that, any detachable parts of the piano should be removed to be packed separately. This may be as easy as taking them off by hand, but sometimes tools such as a Phillips or a socket head screwdriver are required to take off components such as pedals.

Once the piano is reduced to just parts that cannot be detached, we make sure to cover nearly every area of the piano with blankets to ensure no part of the piano gets damaged, but there is one area that should be left exposed: the handles. Using these to pick up the piano is the best way to move it. The piano will need to be picked up at one point so our New York City piano movers can cover the bottom in blankets as well.

Once the piano is totally covered in blankets, moving it is still tricky. Piano movers in Brooklyn NY and other parts of the city have to deal with tight clearances in the famously cozy city apartments. If any clearances are especially tight, the movers may need to measure the available space against how much the piano takes up to see if it will fit. Then, movers typically use a piano board to actually transport the piano. The piano will otherwise be too heavy, too big and too difficult to carry.
