You pay MovingWaldo, not the moving company. Once the move is completed, the moving company will log the final hours in our system. At the same time, MovingWaldo will process the payment using the credit card used for the deposit, and an invoice will be sent via email. By having MovingWaldo handle the payment, you are protected from hidden fees and fraudulent additional charges on moving day. Any unapproved additional fees will be reversed by MovingWaldoand refunded to the client.
Credit cards are the only accepted payment methods. If there are any issues with the invoice, please let us know and we will investigate.
No, we do not charge a fee for booking with us. MovingWaldo is compensated through a commission from the moving company, but we do not charge our customers any additional fees for using our service. Booking your move through MovingWaldo, as opposed to directly with a moving company, ensures an extra layer of protection and end-to-end support throughout your entire move.
Our algorithms calculate moving quotes based on various factors such as the distance between your current and new address, hourly labor costs, estimated relocation time, and any additional fees for special items. These quotes are generated by our platform using standardized metrics to ensure consistency and transparency in pricing. While the quotes provide a good estimate, your final cost may vary depending on the actual duration and any additional services you may require during the move.
Our moving services marketplace features an innovative digital calendar that allows you to select your moving date while viewing price variations based on demand. Movers’ rates fluctuate depending on the time of the month and day of the week, allowing you to choose a more affordable option.
Typically, moving between Monday and Thursday offers the lowest rates since demand is lower. In contrast, weekends and the end of the month tend to be more expensive due to higher demand. To save money, consider scheduling your move on a less busy day.
Tipping your movers is not mandatory, but it is a common practice that many people choose to follow. Movers greatly appreciate tips, and if you’re satisfied with their service, you are welcome to offer one. A general guideline is to tip $5 per hour per mover. Please note that tips are not included in the estimate or final payment. If you decide to tip, you may do so in cash, and this remains entirely independent of MovingWaldo.
Every moving company on our Waldo Verified network is fully insured. Before joining our platform, each mover must upload their liability and cargo insurance certificates to our partner portal. We require a minimum active liability policy of one million dollars to ensure that every company maintains proper coverage at all times. This means you can have peace of mind knowing that uninsured movers are simply not part of our marketplace.
Additionally, all of our partners provide the industry-standard protection of $0.60 per pound per item under Released Value Protection for any damaged items. Most of our partners offer additional coverage. There are associated fees, and the purchase of this protection must be made before the move.
If your items are properly packed and any visible damage is clearly due to the movers’ negligence, you’ll be covered by the protection. Conversely, if your items aren’t adequately packed and lack the necessary protection, the moving company won’t be liable for any damage. If you choose to pack your own items, it’s best practice to take photos as evidence of proper packing.
Additionally, all our partners offer industry-standard Released Value Protection at $0.60 per pound per item for any damage incurred. If you need to file a claim for broken items, simply complete our claim form and our team will provide the guidance you need to resolve the situation with your moving company.
Although claims must be dealt with directly with the moving company, MovingWaldo is committed to assisting you through the process. To support you, we have a dedicated claims page that we highly recommend reviewing before your move. Simply fill out the online claims form within 24 hours after the move. If the claim is completed in a timely manner, we will withhold payment from the moving company until a fair resolution is reached, protecting you from an unresponsive and dishonest claim process.
Moving companies become Waldo Verified through a rigorous vetting process. We evaluate factors such as accreditations, client reviews, years of experience, professionalism, and overall online reputation. We also meet with company executives to review their experience and credibility, ensuring that only incorporated and trustworthy companies qualify.

After joining our platform, every user rates a moving company’s service following each move. This ongoing feedback ensures that our high standards are consistently met.
All the moving companies on our platform are Waldo Verified and they all undergo an interview process in which we sit down with the executives to discuss their experience, credentials, and credibility. In order to become Waldo Verified, the company must be incorporated and show proof of insurance.

After each move, clients are invited to review the moving company based on criteria such as punctuality, communication, and professionalism. You can also leave comments and receive responses from the moving companies, all within a secure and controlled environment that guarantees the authenticity of our reviews.
