How much notice is required to schedule a move?
That all depends on when you ask this question! Washington Metropolitan customers generally want to move in the summer or during the first five days or last five days of a month. If this sounds like you than you may want to secure your move date with a deposit as soon as you can. On the other hand, the less desirable winter months and cancellations might afford you the opportunity to schedule one day before your move date. One thing you can be sure of is that by utilizing our centralized sales and dispatch system Beltway has never stood a customer up in our 40 years of business.

Ask your move consultant if your building is registered with us. You may also
request that your building manager register your building with us right
on line.
Most elevator buildings have specific guidelines regarding move day procedures.
These rules insure your safety, reduce tenant conflicts and help with building maintenance. It is your responsibility and it
is definitely to your advantage to secure a list of the move day procedures beforehand. The following information discusses
common restrictions you may encounter.
TIME AVAILABLITY
There may be limited days and/or hours which will be made available to your mover. Schedule your move in close cooperation
with those times.
ELEVATOR RESTRICTIONS
Get assurance from the building management that you can have exclusive use of service elevators. Possession of the
elevator key will help prevent you from paying your move crew to stand in line waiting for elevator service. Ask to post
signs to make other tenants aware.
ELEVATOR SIZE AND CONDITION
Most modern buildings have service elevators, which are well padded. If your building has only tenant elevators, be sure
and mention this to your move consultant. Special arrangements will have to be made for large pieces of furniture.
PARKING
Reservations may need to be made which will allow the van to park at the loading dock. Unfortunately, most companies
will have to charge you even if they are forced to wait for other delivery people and companies to clear the loading area.
Ask to post signs to make other tenants aware.
HALLWAYS
Some exclusive buildings require Masonite floor runners or similar protection on all hallways from the loading dock to your
front door. Be sure to discuss this and any other hallway regulations with your move consultant.
