We require an adult (18+) to be present at both pickup and delivery to sign paperwork and direct placement of items. If you can't be there, you can designate a representative, but we'll need written authorization in advance.
Studio/1BR: 2-3 hours; 2BR: 3-5 hours; 3BR: 5-7 hours; 4BR+: 6-10 hours. These are averages - actual time depends on distance, stairs, packing, and amount of items. We'll provide a time estimate with your quote.
