Specific answers for Southcenter and Valley residents.
We know that November and December near Southcenter Pkwy are brutal. During peak shopping season, we schedule our truck arrivals for early morning (8 AM) before shoppers arrive. We also use alternate routes like Interurban Ave and West Valley Hwy to bypass the mall gridlock completely.
Almost always, yes. If you live in a modern complex (like the ones on Southcenter Blvd or Tukwila Int'l Blvd), management usually requires a 2-4 hour window for the freight elevator. We recommend booking this 2 weeks in advance. We can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) if your building manager asks for one!
We charge a flat travel fee that covers us getting to you and getting back to our HQ. We do not charge extra if we get stuck in unexpected traffic on the S-Curves while driving your stuff. That's on us. Our hourly clock starts when we arrive at your door and stops when we finish unloading.

"I lived in the apartments right behind Barnes & Noble at Southcenter. Traffic is always a nightmare there. They showed up early, knew exactly where to stage the truck so they didn't block the alley, and got us moved to Thorndyke in record time."
