FAQs


  • Are you properly licensed?

    To avoid moving scams and rogue movers, make sure to ask whether the moving company is properly licensed. All professional interstate moving companies should have a license number issued by the United States Department of Transportation. 

  • Do they have experience with my specific type of move?

    Ask the moving company whether or not they have experience handling your specific type of move. For example, if you’re moving to a high-rise apartment building, a townhome with multiple stories, or to a big city, you should inquire whether the moving company has experience with the type of move and is prepared for what is to come. Movers should be prepared to handle anything coming their way during the moving process. We have over 89 years of expert moving services in Buffalo, NY. We can properly handle any situation needed.

  • Do You Provide Packing and Storage Services?

    If packing services are provided, ask how your belongings will be stored and labeled. Also, ask if they provide storage services should you need them. Our team at Fisher North American offers expert packing and crafting that will ensure none of your belongings are damaged during the move.

  • What is Your Cost Estimate and How is it Determined?

    This question should be on every list of questions to ask moving companies. Be sure to get an estimate in writing that includes all costs and is signed by both parties. Call us today for a free moving estimate.

  • How Long Have You Been in Business?

We provide expert moving service with over 89 years of service. We have the knowledge to ensure your belongings make it safe through travel.

  • How Long Will My Move Take?

    Find out how long you can expect your move to take, what happens if your belongings arrive before you do and if additional travel time is needed. We will gladly give you this answer once we have a discussion of when and where you will be moving.

  • Are Your Movers Professional and Experienced?

    Moving you to a new home safely and securely is an art. It requires dedication, training, and experience, as well as a well-thought-out company safety policy. Crew members should be background checked and thoroughly educated in the efficient, safe handling of furniture and other items. With our team, you will never have to worry. We are experienced and educated in many situations that will make this transition easy.

  • Do you have references for your service?

    Reputable moving companies should happily provide you with references from past customers from online testimonials or by request. If you decide to search for references online, look for reviews that provide detailed examples of the reviewer’s experience, whether positive or negative. We will gladly provide you with any references you may need. Contact us today.

  • How often are your moving vehicles serviced?

    Proper vehicle maintenance is a sign of a reputable moving company. Ask your moving company about their vehicle maintenance schedule and how they ensure your belongings will arrive at your new home on time and undamaged. When providing high-quality service, this includes vehicle maintenance. We will always ensure our trucks are doing the best of their ability and help us to provide the best service possible.
