Commercial Moving - Moving Tips
Here are a few helpful tips from NYC Mover - Imperial Moving & Storage to assist you with your commercial relocation:


 Gratuity
Like in many servicing professions, gratuity is always recommended. Imperial Movers will provide exceptional service for you and will do whatever necessary to get the job done as efficiently as possible. In order to show your gratitude at the end of the move, it is customary to offer a 15%-20% gratuity to the foreman, and he will divide the gratuity equally amongst the team.
Be sure that Imperial Movers will never ask for gratuity and you should never feel pressured to give a tip.


 Packing
Imperial Movers are experts in packing any item or your whole home. Our movers have years of experience in packing every type of household or office and have on hand all types of packing materials. Imperial Moving and Storage specializes in crating any type of furniture, so if you need us to make a wooden crate for a specific item, let your relocation consultant know in advance.
Many of our customers prefer the movers to completely pack and unpack their homes before and after the relocation. We prepare for this by having an onsite estimator arrive at your home for a free onsite estimate. The estimator will be able to give you a quote which will include the labor and packing materials needed. Furthermore the price of your relocation will be adjusted accordingly to the size of your home and the amount of labor and materials required.


 Department of Transportation
The New York Department of Transportation is the government agency which regulates all relocation companies in New York State. It is always a good idea to call the DOT before choosing a mover. Some moving companies who are not regulated may turn your moving experience into an unpleasant one, so be sure that your moving company has a licensed DOT number and that they are up to code on their safety regulations. Furthermore, you can call the Department of Transportation to find out more about what your rights are as a client of a New York based moving company. You can also check with the DOT if the moving companies that you are reviewing have any complaints.
The DOT telephone number is 1800-8765-DOT.


 Building Restrictions
Our liability coverage of $2,000,000 allows us to conduct relocations in any building in NYC. Nearly every commercial office building and many residential buildings in New York City requires insurance certificates prior to any work performed on their premises. In order to provide the necessary certificates of insurance to the building's management we will need from you their contact information; such as name of contact, phone and fax numbers. Imperial Moving also holds Worker's Compensation and Disability insurance which is sometimes required as well by the building's management.
Some building in NYC have restrictions as to the hours in which you can execute your move. Imperial Moving and Storage will work within the limits of those restrictions, but will need this information in advance in order to schedule the move accordingly.
