corporate relocation
Recent surveys show that a primary driver of corporate relocations continues to be the inability to find a qualified workforce in the same place as the job. Quist Moving & Storage and Wheaton World Wide Moving understand the balance between the business reasons for getting someone ready for their new position in an unfamiliar environment and the personal issues that every transferee will experience. It’s not just an address change. It’s a life change.
Communication is key
Over time, Quist Moving and Wheaton have developed an extensive communications regimen that assigns a single-point-of-contact to every corporate relocation. That means your company’s Human Resources manager or relocation specialist, as well as the transferee, will be kept up-to-speed at every step of the move. Everyone involved in the move will have a resource to ask questions, express concerns or simply seek some peace-of-mind.

Whether you’re moving across the street or across the country, Quist Moving & Storage have you covered. Quist Moving has developed a specialized approach to moving customers into and out of their homes and into their new lives.
What is residential moving? Here’s how we look at it:
Moving from one home to another – One that you’re selling to one that you’re buying elsewhere
Moving from an apartment to a house
Moving from one apartment to another apartment
Moving companies put residential moves into some broader categories
Local moves – Generally, moves that are within or around city limits, are considered local moves. Local moves are performed by the hour and are regulated by the state of Minnesota. Our rates and regulations are filed with the offices of the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and the Minnesota Transport Services Association.
INTRAstate moves – Generally, intrastate moves are those from city to city within the state of Minnesota. INTRAstate moves are performed by the hour and mileage within the state of Minnesota. These types of moves are also regulated and filed with the state of Minnesota. Our tariff is available for inspection in our offices, or the aforementioned offices during normal business hours.
INTERstate moves – Generally, interstate moves are those that cross state lines (e.g. Minnesota to California or Minnesota to Ohio).
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.
