What English do you need for daily life abroad?

Sure! A one-bedroom local move is typically $400 to $600, depending on the amount of stuff and whether there are stairs or an elevator. How much furniture do you have? Any heavy items like a piano or a safe?

好的！一居室本地搬家通常400到600美元，取决于东西多少和有没有楼梯或电梯。你有多少家具？有钢琴或保险箱这类重物吗？

For that, I'd estimate around $450 — that includes two movers and a truck for about 4 hours. We charge $120 per hour after the first 3 hours. The price includes basic insurance coverage. Do you need packing materials — boxes, tape, bubble wrap?

这样的话，大概450美元——包括两个搬家工人和一辆卡车，大约4小时。超过前3小时后每小时120美元。价格包含基本保险。你需要打包材料吗——纸箱、胶带、气泡膜？

We can start as early as 8 AM. Morning slots are popular, so I'd recommend booking now. A $100 deposit secures your spot — the rest is due when the job is done. We accept cash, card, or Venmo.

最早早上8点可以开始。早上的时段很抢手，建议现在预约。100美元定金保留名额——剩余的搬完付。我们接受现金、刷卡或Venmo。

Tips aren't required but always appreciated. The standard is about $20 to $30 per mover for a half-day job. If they handle your stuff with care and finish on time, a little extra goes a long way. We'll send a confirmation email with all the details.

小费不是必须的但总是很感激。一般半天的活给每个工人20到30美元。如果他们搬东西很小心又准时完成，多给一点他们会很开心。我们会发一封确认邮件包含所有细节。

💡 在美国，给搬家工人小费是常见的礼貌做法。一般每人$20-30，如果活特别辛苦或有很多楼梯可以多给。

Welcome to your new home! I can set that up for you. I'll need your new address, your full name, a phone number, and the date you'd like service to start. Do you want to start today?

欢迎搬新家！我可以帮你办理。我需要你的新地址、全名、电话号码和你想开始用电的日期。你想从今天开始吗？

Without local credit history, there is a $200 deposit — it's refunded after 12 months of on-time payments. You can pay it now by card. Your service will be activated within 2 hours. We'll also set up an online account so you can track your usage and pay bills.

没有本地信用记录的话需要200美元押金——按时付款12个月后退还。现在可以刷卡付。2小时内开通。我们还会设置一个在线账户，你可以查看用电量和付账单。

The main providers in your area are Comcast and AT&T. Your building might also have fiber — check with your building management. They can usually tell you which provider has the best connection there.

你那个区域的主要运营商是Comcast和AT&T。你的楼可能也有光纤——问一下物业。他们通常能告诉你哪家在那里信号最好。

Yes, definitely! You can do it online at USPS.com — it's called 'Change of Address.' There's a small $1.10 identity verification fee. They'll forward your mail from the old address to the new one for up to 12 months.

是的，一定要！你可以在USPS.com上办——叫「地址变更」。有1.10美元的身份验证费。他们会把旧地址的邮件转寄到新地址，最多12个月。

💡 在美国搬家后一定要办邮件转寄（mail forwarding），否则重要信件如银行账单、税务文件等可能丢失。在USPS网站几分钟就能办好。
