2Guys4Hire.com collects our minimum fee of 2 hours for most local moves, or a deposit via debit or credit card at the time of your job booking.
If additional hours/services are provided to you over the reserved job time, the balance is due and payable to your movers at the time of your job's completion.
2Guys4Hire.com does not keep any of your card information from your job booking on file so you must provide it again to pay for any additional hours/services provided after your job completion.
If the movers are unable to make your job appointment and are unable to work out an alternate time with you to complete your job (and you confirmed availability with us before booking), we will refund your job fee in full; otherwise there is a 25% cancellation fee so only 75% of the job fee will be refunded.

1. If we are not providing packing service to you, have all items that are small enough to fit inside boxes properly packed and sealed.

2. Have all flat screen televisions packed and sealed in their original retail box with packing inserts or in a specialty TV box with packing inserts.

3. For labor-only jobs, rent or purchase enough moving blankets/pads to completely cover all furniture that you don't want damaged. Take into consideration the amount of items AND the size of the blankets and items.

4. For labor-only jobs, purchase a large roll of shrink wrap if you want the moving blankets secured to your items.

5. If applicable, confirm that your rental truck or container is going to be at the job location before the scheduled job time.

6. For everyone's safety, remove all obstacles, ice, snow, pets, and humans (especially children) from where our truck and ramp will be placed and also the areas that the movers will be working and walking for the duration of the job.
