FAQs
How do you price a move?
Purple People Movers gives a flat rate, and that rate is based on the inventory you list on its price quote form. The company asks you to list all the furniture in each room so the flat rate is accurate. You do not need to list boxes, because boxes are charged separately at 1.50 each.
How do I get a quote?
You fill in the price quote form on the company website, listing the furniture in each room. The company asks you to include your phone number on the form, because it texts you once the quote has been sent by email.
Do you do long distance moves?
Yes. The company states that it does long distance moving in addition to moves around the Tampa Bay area.
Can you load or unload a POD or a rental truck for me?
Yes. Purple People Movers loads and unloads PODS and rental trucks. For those jobs you need to supply the padding, either by renting pads or supplying enough sheets and blankets to pad your inventory for the ride, and the company can also bring large 3 ply paper pads at 3.00 each. Have the POD or truck delivered the night before.
How do you protect my furniture?
Couches, loveseats and chairs are plastic wrapped, and large 55 gallon clear bags are used for cushions, dining chairs and desk chairs. Anything with doors or drawers is plastic wrapped so it does not come open. Pictures and mirrors 3 feet square or larger are wrapped in a pad, and smaller ones need to be packed in a box.
How do you move a television?
The company wraps a pad around the television before picking it up and bands it to a flat screen TV cart for the ride to the new place. If the television is mounted on the wall the crew will take it off the wall, and the mount too if you want, but they do not remount televisions to the wall.
Can I leave clothes in my dresser drawers?
Yes, clothes can stay in the drawers. Keep it to clothes only, with no jewelry, perfume or papers, and empty out anything behind doors on a dresser, chest or armoire. If stairs are involved and an item is too heavy with the clothes in it, the crew will take the drawers out and move them separately.
Do you move hanging clothes?
Yes. Hanging clothes are moved on moving pads rather than wardrobes, which keeps them neat and organized. The charge is 2.00 per hanging foot, so an 8 foot rod full of clothes would cost 16.00 to move.
