Moving FAQs
Answers about estimates, packing, furniture, and moving day. For details specific to your move, send us your addresses and the help you need.
Planning your move with Fox Moving
What details should I send when requesting a move?
Send both addresses, an inventory, your preferred date, and access details. For large pieces, include photos and approximate dimensions. List any appliances as well so the crew can plan for weight and connections.
How is a local move priced?
Local moves are priced by crew size and estimated hours, based on the inventory and access notes. A single item depends on crew size, carry complexity, and the distance between addresses. We send a cost breakdown before anything is confirmed.
What counts as local for Fox Moving?
Fox Moving handles requests in Canoga Park and nearby West Valley neighborhoods. Share both addresses with the team so they can confirm whether your route is covered.
Do you offer storage between pickup and delivery?
We do not offer storage, but we can coordinate with a storage facility if you need to stage items before the new place is ready.
Last-minute moves
Can I request a move at short notice?
Send the deadline, inventory, and packing status. Availability must be confirmed for your request; sending a form does not reserve a slot. We'll check the current schedule against the job details and confirm whether your dates are open.
Is the rate higher for last-minute moves?
Ask for a written estimate based on the inventory, access, crew, and timing. Availability and the work included are confirmed before booking.
What if I still need to pack when the crew arrives?
We move what is ready. If packing is not finished, tell us what the priorities are so the crew focuses on those items.
Can you handle a last-minute office move?
Yes, if the inventory is defined and building access is available. Weekend and after-hours last-minute moves are possible depending on the schedule.
Furniture and specialty items
What helps you review a furniture move?
Send photographs, approximate dimensions, and a description of doorways, turns, stairs, and elevators at both properties. That helps us plan the carry route and equipment.
Do you move pianos?
Yes, we handle upright and grand pianos. The estimate covers padding, moving equipment, and the access assessment at both addresses. Send the piano's dimensions and any access photos so the crew can plan the carry.
Can you move furniture that is already assembled?
Yes. We wrap and transport assembled furniture. If it has to be taken apart to fit through an opening, we do that and reassemble it at the destination. For narrow hallways, give us the measurements so we can plan the route.
How is a pool table move planned?
The dismantling, slate handling, hardware organization, transport, reassembly, and setup are scheduled as part of the move. Send the table's model and access photos, and discuss any leveling needed, so the team can confirm the handling plan and total time. For commercial or bar tables, include the make, model, size, and access details.
Office moves
Do you disconnect and reconnect equipment?
We move furniture and labeled equipment. Disconnecting and reconnecting technical setups is handled by your team or an IT provider. We can coordinate the timing.
Can you move an office over the weekend?
Weekend or after-hours scheduling is available for office moves, subject to crew availability and the building's permitted hours. Include your preferred window in the request so the team can confirm it.
How do you handle confidential records?
We move sealed and labeled boxes. The team responsible for the records should pack and label them. Confidential items stay under your control during the process.
Do you need building management approval?
We coordinate with the building at both ends for dock, elevator, and parking access. Let us know the building requirements when you submit the request.
