You can book your move online or by phone. Even if you book online, you have the option to speak with someone. Their booking agents are available to assist you at <strong>1-844-258-6683<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is MovingWaldo more expensive than a traditional mover?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>No, prices on MovingWaldo are not more expensive than those you\u2019d get directly from movers and can sometimes even be cheaper. MovingWaldo is paid by the movers, who pay to be listed on the platform, not by you, the customer. Additionally, movers compete with each other on the platform, which may further reduce prices for you. In summary, you get similar or even lower prices than booking directly with a mover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How are the quotes calculated?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Their quotes are generated using an intelligent algorithm that takes into account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The travel time<\/strong> between your departure address and destination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The travel time<\/strong> from the mover&#8217;s location to your address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The estimated duration of the move<\/strong> based on the size of your home and the volume of items to move.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Your specific needs<\/strong>, such as handling heavy, fragile, expensive, or bulky items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is to provide an accurate and personalized estimate with no hidden fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does payment work on moving day?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Payment is done in two steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>A $100 deposit<\/strong> at the time of booking on MovingWaldo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The balance <\/strong>is billed based on the actual time of the move on the day itself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Payment is fully secured with MovingWaldo, and the mover only receives the payment once you\u2019re satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How are movers evaluated and verified?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>To become a <strong>Waldo Verified<\/strong>, movers must meet strict criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Legal verifications: <\/strong>Validation of incorporation documents, business ownership, and experience check.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Insurance: <\/strong>Holds liability insurance and cargo protection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Customer Reviews: <\/strong>Collecting customer ratings after each move ensures service quality and professionalism.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Professional Interview with MovingWaldo:<\/strong> Evaluation of their practices and commitment to customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Will I be able to rate the quality of my mover after the move?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes!
