Here are Some Tips to Avoid a Moving Scam

There are a lot of moving companies that are operating without a license and try to suck in you with their low ball prices. Here are some tips to help you avoid the pitfalls of hiring a huge mistake. First you want to check to see if they have a website or a blog. There is no excuse for not having at least a blog since it is a free and any reputable local moving company should really have a website. You also want to check to see if they are in the yellowpages. You don't wont a fly by night long distance or local moving company handling your family heirlooms. Are they accredited members of the BBB? If so, are they in good standing? Are they members of any formal clubs like the Chamber of Commerce? Here's a big one. Do they have DOT and MC numbers? If they do not have these numbers and can not tell you what they are, then they are operating without a license. Hang up and call All My Sons Moving & Storage of Tulsa right away.
Are they professional when they answer the phone? Have you ever heard of them or seen their trucks around town? Ask for their references. A good local moving company can give you several references. If they give you an estimate and it seems really low or too good to be true, it probably is, again call All My Sons of Tulsa. We can handle all your moving needs to include packing and moving you locally or long distance as well as long term storage.

Tips for Moving with a Teenager


Moving with your teenagers can be a traumatic experience. At this age, teens are social, and they have gotten used to their friends and teachers that surround them each day. When you tell them that you are moving, whether it be local or long-distance, they often withdraw or get angry, making the entire process even more difficult. In order to help you and your teens have a less stressful moving event, we have a few suggestions besides calling the best movers in Tulsa :

Ask for Input: While you are looking for that perfect home, make sure that you get your teenager’s involved. Allow them to help you choose the home that you will move into, the bedroom that they want or like, and the area in which you will move to. Obviously, this is not something that they should have complete control of, but seriously take their opinions into account.

Let Creativity Reign: Once there is a specific home that you will be moving into, you should let your teen’s prepare by allowing them to plan how their new room will be set up. Suggest that they draw up a room map that will allow them to set up their things so that they know what the room will look like when they arrive. Maybe let them pick out new bedding. This will also give them something to look forward to, which can greatly reduce the potential struggle with them over the move. Also try to label their things so that the keep our Tulsa movers are aware of where their particular items belong.

Dealing with School: School is a huge part of a teenager’s life, and they should be a part of everything that you do that is involved in transferring schools. Allow them to be present at the registration for their new school, and try to set up a tour of the new school as well. This can help ease the stress of moving to a new place and learning to traverse a new school.

Does Your Tulsa Mover Quilt-Pad Wrap Furniture??



Not all local movers are the same. At All My Sons Moving & Storage of Tulsa, we will not load your furniture on our trucks unless it's completely quilt-pad wrapped. What is pad wrapping? Take a look at the pictures. There should be no wood showing. We do this to protect your furniture. We know you don't want your great, great, great, grandma's antique armoire torn all apart. The quilt-pad wrapping prevents scratches, dings, dents that occur when pieces of furniture are placed against each other in the truck or simply by being handed by inexperienced and untrained movers bumping into door frames, walls, etc. We also shrink wrap or pad wrap every upholstered item in your home. This is one of the reasons All My Sons of Tulsa has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. We do our best to make sure your items arrive in the same condition as when we load up your household items. So next time you schedule a move, ask if your movers provide this service at no additional cost. If it doesn't look like these pictures, you should call the professionals of All My Sons Moving & Storage of Tulsa.

Trusting is hard to do when hiring Tulsa Movers

By the time your an adult, you’ve probably had a few let downs and maybe had a broken heart or two. At the basis of many relationship slip-ups is the issue of trust. Trust is a foundation for almost any relationship, romantic or not. As an employee of a Tulsa local moving company and a small, family-owned business to boot, I know that trust plays a major role in establishing a healthy relationship with customers. The moving company you hire has your entire past, present and future in their hands! Your furniture, your family heirlooms, personal files, pictures and clothing…everything! All or at least most of your worldly possessions are involved in a move, and a move to Tulsa is not the time to take chances or risk damaging your possessions. As nice as your son's teenage friends are, or as reliable as your buddies may be, recruiting inexperienced hands to move your pricey and priceless belongings could result in serious damage. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve heard customers tell me what a disaster their last move was how much they had to replace. Are you really saving that much money if your spending hundreds, even thousands of dollars replacing a TV or set of china? All My Sons Moving & Storage has 4 generations of moving experence.

Plan Ahead for a Smart Move!

For a stress-free move to Tulsa, you gotta plan head. Start by packing and putting away the non-essentials. I hear that de-personalizing your home helps you sell it faster anyway. Pack away all the personal photos and knick knacks that you don't need and de-clutter. Packing is one of the most time-consuming and difficult tasks of the entire moving process, so a head start will benefit your move in many ways. You can get new or gently used boxes from your local moving company. Then, make it a point to pack a few boxes, or even just a few items when you have a spare minute around the house. There are many items in your home that you may not need for the next month or two. These items can be packed and safely stored until moving day. After designating an area to store your packed boxes, load up off-season clothing, home décor, house keepsakes and anything else you won’t need in the coming weeks. Make sure you label each box! With such a large head start, your move in Tulsa will be smooth and easy! Have you ever packed in a rush? It is stressful and often leads to damaged items that were not properly packaged for the move. Of course, the easiest way to pack is to have some else do it! Tulsa movers can take care of your packing months, weeks or even days before your move. This professional service can be accompanied by various levels of insurance to protect your belongings in the event of any damage. Utilizing professional packing services also decreases the risks of damage. High-quality moving boxes and packing materials are used (at least with All My Sons!), as well as tested techniques that leave even dishes and glasses intact. Should you want or need to pack on your own, however, local movers recommend beginning ASAP!

Moving History in Tulsa

Tulsa was part of Indian Territory, which was created as part of the relocation of the Five Civilized Tribes - the Choctaw, Cherokee, Muscogee(Creek), Chickasaw, and Seminole peoples. These Native American tribes moved into the region after the passage of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, when they were forced to surrender their lands east of the Mississippi River to the federal government in exchange for land in Indian Territory. The city now known as Tulsa was first settled by the Lochapoka (Turtle Clan) Muscogee(Creek) between 1828 and 1836. Driven from their native Alabama, the Lochapokas established a new home at a site near present-day Cheyenne Avenue and 18th Street. Under a large burr oak, now called the Creek Council Oak Tree, they rekindled their ceremonial fire. The Lochapoka named their new settlement "Tulasi," meaning "old town" in their native language.

Any business, especially a fourth generation moving and storage company like All My Sons, can learn a lot from the history of their industry and the history of their company. All My Sons Moving & Storage has come a long way from our very first move, performed with an ice truck and the careful hands of our founder and his son. We’ve grown with the industry throughout the years, and our Tulsa movers understand the ebb and flow of our surroundings and are flexible enough to adjust to whatever life brings our loyal customers, neighbors and friends.

Avoid Moving Scams

The biggest moving scam out there starts with moving companies trying to beat each others low bid to move your possessions for you. Then when the move is over your estimated cost is double or even triple what you thought it would be. You should get the names of everyone you talk to and the moving company should be easy to contact. They should have their own equipment, and full time employees. You don't want to hire a moving company that really is a broker. Make sure that who you choose is licensed and insured. If you are moving across the state line, are they really licensed to move your possessions? Ask for their MC#. I suggest also calling the BBB and see if they are a reputable company, if not, hire someone else. Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move is a good place to start too.

We at All My Sons Moving and Storage fit all the criteria you are looking for in a local moving company or long distance moving company. We are family owned/operated and NEVER hire day labor or temporary help. We can also take care of all of your packing material needs as well as storage. Check us out at www.allmysons.com/tulsa
