To assess an accurate estimate for your move, your movers will also need to know where you're moving from and to, the amount of furnishings that need moving and any items that will require special handling.

They'll also need to know what logistical factors will influence the move, any of which might impact the price, length of time and what moving personnel will be needed.

You can do some preliminary checking by phone but before they commit to the job, someone from the moving company will need to come and assess your requirements in person.
