Frequently Asked Questions
Safeway is listed on the FMCSA site as a broker—meaning, it partners with smaller moving companies (carriers) across the U.S.
However, we learned that Safeway also identifies as a carrier. Depending on the move’s size and route, it will perform the move in house. Safeway does most East Coast moves, for example, in house. For more remote locations in states like Utah, Nevada, Washington state, and Arizona, however, Safeway will oftentimes partner with smaller companies located in the area to service the move.
Safeway’s carrier and broker hybrid status allows it to offer customers an in-house experience and partner with trusted smaller companies to reach customers in farther locations at the same in-house price.
If you have a local move, Safeway can do it depending on the route and what you need for the move (you have a lot of stuff and require full-service packing, for example). One rep told us that $2,300 is the minimum they will do for a move, but it’s best to confirm if your move qualifies.
If you’re moving locally, it may actually be more cost-effective for you to consider options like using a moving container and hiring hourly movers to help you pack it.
Safeway offers short- and long-term storage. Each move automatically comes with up to 30 days of free storage. It’s common especially during the homebuying process to have a gap between moving, so that free storage would come in handy for those in housing limbo.
One rep we talked to mentioned they typically charge 50 cents per cubic foot of storage space in a warehouse that is sure to protect belongings from weather or theft, as it’s climate controlled and under 24-hour surveillance.
If you want to save on your move by packing all your belongings yourself, you absolutely can. But if you do decide on full-service packing, Safeway will wrap and pack most items that can fit in a box. An expert moving crew will blanket furniture and also disassemble and assemble it.
Safeway charges bulky item fees for things like grandfather clocks and pianos. And they ask for you to box your TV, wrap and box glass, and put a mattress cover on your mattress, but they can do it for extra fees.
Safeway offers binding quotes. This means that the quote you get is the price you’ll pay as long as nothing about your move changes at the last minute.
If you do decide you want to change your inventory, luckily Safeway performs a quality assurance check three to five days before your move, so you can inform them of the change then. You must accept and sign the documentation before the crew can begin.
Safeway is veteran-owned and focused on “military precision.” The company has a lot of experience helping military personnel and families with their moves, and staff is used to handling moves with high levels of clearance. This level of service influences what they provide non-military members since moving and coordination teams are used to performing exceptionally within a set budget, timeframe, and specific guidelines.
