T & S Transportation and Installation Inc

Welcome to T & S Transportation & Installation, Inc., your local, interstate and international moving specialists. When it comes to the safe transport of your belongings, regardless of the distance, trust only the most experienced professionals to get them there on time, and in one piece.

Have you ever tried to move with one of those discount moving companies, whose teams are comprised of inexperienced amateurs? Your belongings may have arrived at its final destination damaged or destroyed. But wait till you see the difference an experienced and well-trained moving team can make.

Our company has been providing top-quality moving and storage service to the Everett, Seattle, Bellevue area since 1991, and each of our hand-picked movers has been specially trained to safely deal with all of your belongings, from the largest, heaviest piece of furniture, to the most delicate of your valuables.

When moving locally, many people are surprised to find out how inexpensively it can be done by a professional moving company. The average cost is $499.75.

Local moving is done on an hourly basis as mandated by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC). Our current rate for two men and a truck (any size) is $99.95 per hour for a typical four to six-hour move. This special price is for all moves booked in March and April. This includes movers and all equipment (pads, straps, dollies, piano boards, etc.) that is necessary.

T & S Transportation and Installation has served the moving and storage needs of Seattle, Bellevue, and Everett areas since 1990. Whether you are moving from a house in Seattle to a condo in downtown Bellevue or an apartment in Everett to a house in Edmonds, we have a proven track record of providing thousands of successful local moves. In fact, local moves are what we do most, and what we do best.

When moving interstate, charges are determined primarily by weight, miles traveled and service to be performed such as protecting your valuables in containers, packing, etc. The rates and service are not the same for all movers, so it is usually worthwhile to get two or three estimates.

Full Service Storage

T & S Transportation has storage solutions to fit every situation and budget. Full service storage is an excellent option when it comes to storing your belongings for the short-term or long-term.

How Full Service Storage Works

Your furniture and belongings are inventoried and listed on a manifest describing each item and its condition at the time of pickup. Then your furniture is wrapped in heavy cloth pads, carefully placed into large vaults which are forklifted into our warehouse where they wait until you call for them, whether it’s weeks, months, or years later. Sofas are first wrapped in soft, clean cloth moving pads and then further protected with plastic stretch wrap. Sofas are then placed on large shelves to ensure they stay clean and have no pressure dents or tears when removed from storage. Oversized items which do not fit into the vaults are also pad wrapped and placed within the racking system for safe keeping.

Advantages of Full Service Storage

Protection

One of the biggest advantages to full service storage is that the protection of each item is much better than that achieved by stacking them in a garage or mini storage unit. Many self storage facilities are damp or unheated and if your items are placed directly on a concrete floor, they may absorb moisture possibly creating mold and mildew.

Cost Effective

Moving your items in and out of a self storage or mini storage location can be a time consuming chore, especially if they have long halls and multiple stories requiring an access elevator. If you are hiring a moving company, this becomes an expensive waste of time and if you are a “do it yourself” individual, it is a long strenuous process, increasing the possibility of damage and injury. Full service storage actually saves you time and money as your items are transported directly to our warehouse where they are efficiently loaded into storage vaults. Should you need to access your items, all it takes is a phone call to your warehouse location and arrangements for access can be made.

Convenience

In the event that you are out of the greater Seattle area, by having a manifest of all your items in full service storage, you can simply call the warehouse and request that one or more items be shipped or delivered – without having to return to the greater Seattle area. This is particularly convenient should you need to ship your items across the country or around the world. Best of all, since we already have a manifest and the weight of your shipment, we are able to give you an accurate quote for shipping and get it on its way without any hassle.

By comparison, moving your items stored in a mini storage or self storage location can be challenging – this usually requires a return trip to town or arranging for a shipper’s representative to act on your behalf. Accurate estimating of shipping costs for items in self storage is difficult if not impossible. The moving estimator is unable to see what is going to be shipped inside the storage unit or if it is packed adequately to meet transportation requirements. In order to ensure an accurate estimate for moving items from self storage, you will probably have to unload a good portion of the storage locker for viewing.

If you are moving cross country using a van line, many self storage facilities are not accessible with a large tractor trailer unit. This would require additional charges by the moving company to “shuttle” the goods from the self storage building to the waiting cross country moving van. This also increases the risk of damage due to the additional handling.
