Can you move my pool table?

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

The short answer is yes, we do move pool tables. We can disassemble most pool tables (please keep in mind this is usually a labor intensive project that will add quite a bit of time to your move), and we can safely and easily transport all the pieces of your pool table to a new location. However, be advised that we are unable to reassemble pool tables due to the fact that each pool table must be re-felted and re-levelled by a professional pool table technician. There are several vendors who offer this service in the Austin area. Take this into account when you consider purchasing a pool table from a friend or from Craigslist. These items, much like a piano, are not as cheap as they seem once you factor in the cost of moving and reassembly by a specialist.

“Thank you for your assistance during what can be a very stressful time”

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

I wanted to write and commend the employees who helped me move from Austin, TX to Baton Rouge, LA during this past week. Johanna was very helpful and pleasant while clearing up a discrepancy regarding the quote and final moving price. Gerard assisted me when my packing materials did not arrive when scheduled and made a trip himself to ensure they were delivered on a Saturday when I was available. The moving team in Austin led by Walter Griffin were fast, courteous and pleasant. They took great care with my belongings and I could hardly believe how quickly they had the truck loaded. Giovanni and Teddy who delivered my goods this morning were quick, polite and willing to assist in any manner. My boxes and furniture all arrived with clear care taken to indicate which were mine for a smooth delivery. Overall my experience utilizing Elephant Moving Inc. was fantastic and I will recommend you to my friends and family. Thank you for your assistance during what can be a very stressful time. Thank you again.

Try Our Plastic Crates to Simplify Your Move

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Are you moving locally in the Austin area? Elephant Moving & Storage is pleased to announce our new plastic crate program. It’s a cheaper and more environmentally friendly approach to packing than the traditional cardboard box route!

Our plastic crates allow you to pack up your whole house without spending a fortune on cardboard boxes or wasting tons of time scrounging for free used boxes around town. The plastic crates can be rented in groups of 25 for a flat price that includes 2 full weeks (14 days) – this price includes delivery and pickup. Unexpected delay? Don’t worry! You can add an extra week for cheap! There is a small additional charge if we have to carry the crates up stairs, enter an elevator or load them into your place, not just the garage. Add some packing paper or bubble wrap for your fragile items and/or wardrobe box rentals for your hanging clothes and you are ready to pack up your place.

The best part: you won’t be drowning in a sea of cardboard once you unpack! Clean, efficient and environmetally responsible – what could be better?!

Depending on the size of your move there may even be a free or discount crate offer that applies to your move! Call us today for more information and stay tuned for additions to our website for ordering crates and learning more about this convenient and earth friendly program.
