Please make sure all drawers in your furniture are emptied and that any loose items are packed into boxes. It’s crucial that all furniture is completely empty before the move. If you think parking near your apartment might be an issue, we recommend obtaining moving permits. Parking as close to the entrance as possible will help the move go smoothly and prevent parking tickets.

Before the movers arrive, please remove, secure, or relocate valuable items such as jewelry, cash, watches, passports, and other small valuables. Movers are not allowed to handle or take responsibility for these items due to California moving regulations.

If furniture needs to be hoisted through a window, an extra fee will apply (this service applies to first and second floors only).

Please keep in mind that we are prohibited from transporting any cylinders or other containers that are pressurized or contain gases. So please make sure to disconnect them ahead of our arrival!

We are prohibited from transporting weapons, ammunition, and any other items that pose a danger, in any form, regardless of their configuration, readiness, or storage location.

An extra fee will also be charged for moving any item weighing over 200 pounds.
Non-reusable supplies (such as boxes, shrink wrap, tape, etc.) purchased from Fifty Pounds Moving Company will be billed separately. The rate does not include the cost of packing supplies.

If you have not requested packing services, please make sure all boxes are packed and ready for transport when the movers arrive. Movers cannot transport small, unpackaged items. This includes pictures, paintings, lampshades, and similar items – they must be packed in boxes. The movers are not responsible for packing items like pictures, lamps, mirrors, and others that require boxing but have not been packed ahead of time.
