Shalyn and Amanda were extremely helpful with a problem I had concerning delivery of my household goods from another moving company. Although all they were doing, was logging in my household goods and storing them for me until I purchased a new house, the moving company that I used originally tried to overcharge me.Shalyn Immediately saw that the amount of goods that I had and the amount that they charged me for was wrong and contacted the moving company and was able to get me a refund for 2/3 of the money that I paid to the moving company. Amanda looked up the moving company online and found a number of complaints and illegal practices such as them having a revoked license to move furniture in the state of California, which she relayed to Shalyn Which helped in her negotiation with the moving company to get me the refund. All of this had nothing to do with the job they originally had agreed to do for me. It’s such a pleasure to come across companies and employees willing to go the extra mile to help out someone in a difficult position. Thanks again.
Response from the owner:Hello George, Thank you very much for the 5-star review, our team greatly appreciates it! I am truly sorry you had to go through this experience with the other company. We are firm believers of providing honest and ethical services for our customers and I am glad we were able to assist and retreive the majority of your money back as this was not gauranteed. Quotes that brokers and unlicensed movers provide are very applealing to customers upfront however, this route can create a lot of stress, chaos, and end up costing 3-4 times the amount you originally agreed to. We appreciate you trusting our team and allowing us to jump in and assist! We hope your story helps guide future customers to steer clear of such companies! -Team Turner : )

Yelp 5 Star Review

I never want to make a move without the Turner team again: from the first phone call with the office to the last handshake after the move was completed and the bill settled, every single member of the team was genuinely friendly, knowledgeable, hardworking, and even sensitive to all the emotions of moving day--each and every person on the Turner team exceeded my expectations! All I can say to them is a heart-felt THANK YOU, and to everyone else out there: Hire this team for your next move, youll be glad you did!

Gun Safe Movers in Napa Valley

Moving for the First Time?

You can start your firearm safe move by sending in a request for a detailed moving estimate. In response, your moving company will assign you a dedicated move coordinator, who will be there to guide you, answer any questions, and prepare all necessary documentation. Once your moving date is on the calendar, your moving specialist will hand you an Order of Service document that breaks down each service you’ve requested and its associated costs. On your scheduled moving day, your moving crew should arrive on time, fully equipped to handle your gun safe. Your moving team will wrap your firearm safe in protective material to ensure its safety.

If the move is within the same property, they’ll place it in your designated room. For moves outside the home, your moves will securely anchor your safe inside their specially cushioned moving vehicle. After your movers unload everything, you and the crew leader will review the Bill of Lading – a comprehensive list detailing each item and its condition before the move. After you’re satisfied with the setup and the state of your belongings, you will finish the move by signing off on the Bill of Lading in agreement with the crew leader.

  • In-Home, Local, and Long-Distance

    Whether it's inside your home, across Napa, CA, or spanning nationwide, we can expertly transport your firearm safe to any desired location.

  • Full-Service Moves

    Unlike many firms that solely relocate your gun safe, we seamlessly incorporate your gun safe move into your home, office, or custom moving needs.

  • Specialized Equipment

    Leveraging cutting-edge, specialized machinery, we ensure your gun safe is relocated securely, preserving the item and its surrounding premises.

  • Secure Warehouse Storage

    If you need temporary storage for your gun safe, our 26,000 sq ft warehouse offers constant surveillance, ensuring your ease and confidence.

What Is the Process Professional Moving Companies Use to Transport a Gun-Safe?

Professional moving companies understand the weight and value of gun safes. Typically, these safes are incredibly heavy, which means using the right equipment and employing well-trained crews to ensure a smooth transition from one place to another. The process generally involves:

  • Emptying the safe’s contents
  • Dismantling any removable parts
  • Securing the safe to prevent any internal movement
  • Using specialized tools and equipment to move it without causing any harm or damage to the property around it

For Turner Moving & Storage, moving a gun safe isn’t just a task; it’s a specialized service we’ve honed through years of experience. We use floor protection and extra padding to protect both the gun safe and the property around it from damage. For the safety of our staff and your gun safe, we can only move gun safes if they are 600 lbs or under. We can also include moving your gun safe in your full-service moving plan.

Do Gun-Safe Moving Companies Have the Correct Licensing and Insurance?

Moving companies have licenses and insurance to protect you and every single customer. The U.S. federal government mandates all moving companies conducting or advertising long-distance moves to possess a valid USDOT license. Furthermore, state licenses are necessary to legally advertise and execute in-state, local, or in-home relocations. If a moving company lacks these licenses, it’s a significant warning sign. Also, from an insurance standpoint, maintaining general liability and workers comp insurance policies is an industry norm. Moving companies should have these two policies to protect all parties involved in the relocation process.

At Turner Moving & Storage, we hold the safety and security of your valuables in the highest regard. We are fully licensed and insured, backed by our van line’s USDOT (70719), our motor carrier license (1919262), and our California State License (MTR 0190536). Additionally, we uphold both workers comp and general liability insurance policies. Our exemplary service and commitment to security are further showcased by our membership in the Preferred Movers Network and our 2022 Agent of the Year Award from Wheaton World Wide Van Lines.

What Is the Cost of a Professional Gun-Safe Move?

The cost of moving a gun safe can depend on numerous factors, from its dimensions and weight to the location and distance of the move. Many companies may have a base fee, but it’s always advisable to obtain a comprehensive estimate for a clear understanding.

At Turner Moving & Storage, we value transparency, which is why there are never any hidden costs in your move.

How Do Moving Companies Prevent Damage to the Gun Safe and Its Surrounding Environment?

Top-tier moving companies prioritize preserving the integrity of all items, especially ones of high value, like gun safes. Implementing extra padding, skillful handling methods, and deploying specialized equipment ensures the safe reaches its destination unscathed. It is also industry standard to lay out floor protection to prevent damage to the property around the gun safe.

How Much Time Does a Professional Gun Safe Move Take?

The timeframe of a gun safe move can vary based on factors like the distance of the move and the safe’s size. In-home gun safe moves usually only take a day. Local moves might wrap up within a day or two, but longer distances can span several days. A good rule of thumb to follow for long-distance gun safe moves is to provide one day for loading, one day for unloading, and an additional day for every 500 miles traveled. However, the best way to get an accurate estimate of the timing of your move is to request a free moving estimate from your moving company.

For us at Turner Moving & Storage, swiftness doesn’t mean compromising safety. Whether you are moving within Napa Valley, across the country, or anywhere in between, we will deliver your items on time. At Turner, we understand that time is of the essence, so we provide you with an estimated timeline in your moving estimate. This way, you will know how long your move will take before you choose your moving company.
