Quick Answer: These South Jersey moving FAQs cover the questions we hear most: estimates and pricing, packing options, insurance coverage, and moving day logistics. Aron Movers is licensed and insured, NJ #39PM00033600. Call 856-854-1993 for a free estimate.
How do I get an estimate for my move?
We offer free, no-obligation estimates. You can request one by calling us directly or filling out our online contact form. For the most accurate quote, we recommend a brief virtual or in-person walkthrough of your home.
What factors influence the cost of my move?
Pricing is typically based on the volume of items, the distance between locations, the number of movers required, and any additional services like packing. Other factors include stair carries, long walks, and specialized handling for heavy items like pianos or safes.
Do you provide packing services for businesses and offices?
Yes. Aron Movers offers comprehensive commercial packing services in South Jersey. We handle everything from office workstations and filing systems to sensitive IT equipment, ensuring your business downtime is kept to a minimum.
Is there a minimum number of hours for a job?
Yes, most residential moves carry a 3-hour minimum to account for labor time and equipment preparation. This ensures we can provide the high level of service our reputation is built on.
Do you offer video estimates, or do you have to come to my home?
We prefer to come to your home so we can see the size of your furniture, the walk from your door to the truck, and any tight turns on stairs. If an in-person visit isn’t possible, we can do a video walkthrough instead. Either way, you get a written estimate before moving day.
Can my final bill be higher than the estimate?
It can. Local moves are billed by the hour, so if a job takes longer than planned, the cost goes up. Under New Jersey rules, our rates can’t go above the tariff we have on file with the Division of Consumer Affairs, and you’ll get your estimate, our license number and the state’s consumer brochure at least 24 hours before your move.
Do you charge for travel time?
Yes. Travel time is part of every move and is based on your pickup and drop-off locations. Be careful with online quotes from movers based far away. They can bill a lot of travel time that isn’t obvious up front, so a cheap quote can end up costing more than a local mover.
Do you offer packing services?
Absolutely. We can provide full-service packing (we pack everything), partial packing (just your breakables), or simply provide high-quality materials if you prefer to pack yourself. The success of your move is greatly impacted by how well items are boxed. All fragile items, including TVs, artwork, and glass, need to be well-packed to arrive safely.

How do you move hanging clothes?
We provide a specialized wardrobe service to make your move easier. We use sturdy wardrobe boxes that allow your clothes to stay on their hangers throughout the process. This keeps them clean and wrinkle-free, allowing you to move them directly from our truck to your new closet.
What items cannot be moved?
For safety and legal reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials such as gasoline, propane tanks, ammunition, or paint thinners. We also recommend that customers move common household liquids (like cooking oils or cleaning supplies), jewelry, and important documents in their personal vehicles.
Should I empty my dresser drawers?
We recommend emptying drawers of heavy, fragile, or small loose items. However, lightweight clothing can usually remain inside, provided the piece of furniture is sturdy enough to be handled safely by our team.
Will you take apart and put back together my bed and furniture?
Yes. Anything we take apart to move, including beds, we put back together at your new home.
Can you haul away junk or old furniture?
Yes. Hauling items to the curb or an apartment dumpster is charged by the hour. Dump runs add a charge based on the weight of the load.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. As a family-owned business established in 1958, we take our reputation seriously. We are fully licensed and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage. Certificates are available for inspection upon request.
You can verify ours or other moving companies credentials at the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs.
Are my items covered if I pack them myself vs. if you pack them?
No. Items you pack yourself are not covered, because we can’t check how they were packed. Boxes packed by the Aron Movers crew are covered, since we know they were packed the right way. If you want your breakables protected, ask about our partial packing service and we’ll pack just those for you.
What happens if something is damaged during the move?
While we treat every item as if it were our own, accidents can happen. We offer standard valuation coverage and are happy to discuss additional protection options with you prior to moving day to ensure you have total peace of mind.
Do I need to be present for the entire move?
We require you (or a designated representative) to be present at both locations to sign paperwork and confirm the placement of items. We perform a final walkthrough with you at both the pickup and delivery points to ensure nothing was missed and that you are happy with the setup.
When is payment due?
Payment in full is due upon completion of the move. We accept various payment methods, which our coordinator will confirm during your booking process.
What if parking is tight at my home?
Our trucks are 26 feet long, so space matters. If parking will be tough, get temporary no-parking signs from your town, or park your own cars out front the night before to hold the spot. The farther the crew has to walk, the longer the job takes.
Does my building need a certificate of insurance?
Many apartment and condo buildings require one before movers can come in, while most HOAs don’t. Check with your building management, and tell us when you book. We’ll send the certificate to you or straight to your building’s management.
Can you move furniture within my house?
Yes. We move heavy furniture from room to room or floor to floor, with no truck needed. Since those pieces aren’t going on a truck, we usually carry them as they are rather than wrapping them.
Pro Tip: Booking your move at least 3 to 4 weeks in advance is the best way to ensure your preferred date is available. The end of the month is always the busiest time for Aron Movers, so plan ahead!
