Service questions
Know before you move.
Can you load a portable moving container?
Send the container size, parking position, inventory, and access details. ZIP Moving will confirm whether the requested scope is available. Before booking, compare the written estimate with both addresses, the disclosed inventory, access conditions, packing requests, and special-handling notes. Correct any missing scope and ask which details can still change the crew, schedule, route, or price.
What should I confirm before requesting loading & unloading?
Confirm who supplies the truck and tie-down equipment, ramp, stairs, and parking position, what happens after the crew completes the load. ZIP Moving reviews these details before the scope is accepted. Also send the pickup and delivery ZIP codes, target date, stairs or elevators, parking distance, building windows, and any inventory changes. The written reply should separate confirmed scope from details that still depend on availability or inspection.
