Review the two ends of your move
| Location | Access to review |
|---|---|
| Washington, DC pickup | For a DC apartment or rowhouse, tell us where the truck can stop, how many flights of stairs are involved, and whether your building requires an elevator appointment. Include items stored in a basement or upper floor. |
| Texas delivery | Texas destinations can involve very different delivery routes. Use the actual destination ZIP code rather than the nearest major city, and tell us about gated-community access, apartment loading areas, or a new-construction address that may be hard to locate. |
