Long-distance moving can be stressful. Over the years, however, MoveAmerica customers have given us plenty of moments that made us smile. Here are a few of our favorites.
Even when you choose a moving system designed to make the process easier, moving is still a major life event. There are schedules, boxes, furniture, trailers, weather, family members, loading, unloading and sometimes a little confusion along the way.
So we decided to preserve a few of the funny questions and comments customers have shared with MoveAmerica through the years.
"Who is this? NUDE America?"
"I don't have much." One of the most commonly heard sentences in the moving business.
"Let me tell you what I'm NOT taking. I am not taking my washer and dryer, or my table and chairs, or my box spring." And we need to know what you're NOT taking because...?
"Do you have IPODS?" We think the customer may have meant PODS.
Customer:
"When is my trailer going to arrive?"
MoveAmerica:
"Didn't you hear from the terminal?"
Customer:
"Yes. They said between 12 and 3."
And you are asking because...?
"What do you mean there is a blizzard, the roads are icy, the snow is six feet deep, and the bridge is out? You said you'd be here at 2 PM and IT'S 2:03 PM!"
"I want a trailer the same color as the one in the picture on your website. I want a red, white and blue one."
"I know I only bought six feet, but the driver told me I could use the whole trailer for the same price!" Sorry, Charlie.
After giving MoveAmerica her mother's credit card:
"You know you weren't authorized to use
my mom's card — why did you charge it?"
The MoveAmerica Flex Moving System gives you choices about how much of your move you want to handle yourself. You can pack and load your own household goods, use family or friends, or request professional loading and unloading help. MoveAmerica handles the professional long-distance transportation.
Instead of renting and driving a large moving truck yourself, MoveAmerica arranges commercial transportation with an experienced professional driver.
Use the amount of trailer space your household needs rather than paying for unused space.
Load yourself for maximum savings or request professional loading and unloading assistance.
Professional commercial drivers handle the long-distance transportation so you don't have to drive a rental truck.
Moving involves a lot of coordination, and questions are normal. MoveAmerica's goal is to make the transportation portion of the move understandable and predictable while giving customers control over the services they want.
The MoveAmerica Flex Moving System combines customer choice with professional long-distance transportation — and occasionally, as this page proves, a good sense of humor helps too.
