Frequently Asked Questions
How much do movers in Newport News cost?
The cost of hiring movers can vary significantly depending on factors like the distance of the move, the volume of items, and additional services requested. On average, local moves may range from a $400 – $3,500, while average long-distance moves from $950 – $17,000.
Will my furniture be protected during my move?
Yes, Poseidon Moving provides furniture protection. Our team uses padding, blankets, shrink wrap, and other materials to safeguard your furniture and prevent damage during transit. Discuss the details of furniture protection with our dedicated account managers before your move to ensure your belongings are adequately covered.
Will my movers provide packing?
Yes, Poseidon Moving offers professional packing services. We can efficiently and securely pack your belongings, reducing your workload and ensuring items are packed safely. Be sure to inquire about packing services when booking your move, as they are an additional service.
Can I get a virtual estimate for my move?
Yes, many moving companies now offer virtual estimates, allowing you to get an accurate quote without an in-person visit. This is a convenient and COVID-safe option where you use video calls or smartphone apps to show your belongings to a moving estimator who then provides an estimate based on what they see.
Is my moving quote guaranteed?
Moving quotes can vary in terms of guarantees. Some moving companies offer binding quotes, which ensure the final cost won’t exceed the quoted amount, while others provide non-binding estimates, which can change based on actual services provided. It’s essential to clarify the type of quote you receive and any potential additional charges with your moving company.
How much to tip movers in Newport News?
Tipping local movers is a common practice to show appreciation for their hard work. A typical guideline is to tip 10-15% of the total moving cost, which is then divided among the crew. Adjust the amount based on the level of service and your satisfaction.
How much to tip long distance movers in Newport News?
For long-distance moves, it’s customary to tip movers based on a flat fee per mover. A common practice is to tip $50 to $500 per mover. However, consider factors like the complexity of the move, distance and the quality of service when determining the final tip amount.
Is renting a truck cheaper than hiring movers?
Renting a truck, often from companies like U-Haul and Penske, can initially seem like a cost-effective choice for your move. However, it’s important to be aware that these rental companies can sometimes charge substantial sums per truck, particularly during peak moving seasons. When considering truck rental, factor in additional expenses such as fuel, insurance, mileage charges, and the potential need for equipment rentals like dollies and moving blankets. Depending on the size of your move and the distance you’re traveling, these costs can add up quickly.

Booking Poseidon Moving services couldn't have been easier and the attention given couldn't have been topped. Oleg was a great communicator and we got plenty of emailed information on what to expect moving day and how to best prepare for it. On moving day, communication with the moving crew was clear and concise. The moving team was careful with our belongings and efficient moving things out and into our new place. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Everything about using Poseidon was great! Professional and fast service, and everything arrived in perfect condition right on time. The price and delivery window for my cross country move was by far the most ideal.
