Pool Table Moving
Condor Moving Systems provides moving services for both slate and non-slate pool tables. To ensure safe transport for moving your pool table our moving service includes:

When moving a pool table, it’s crucial to consider whether you intend to keep the existing felt and arrange for table leveling at the destination. If the felt is worn or difficult to remove, re-felting may be necessary, requiring the services of a professional third-party after your move. Please note that Condor Moving Systems does not offer table re-leveling services unless specifically requested, which is facilitated by a third-party vendor. Additional charges for handling and packing may apply. For further information, please reach out to your moving consultant.

- Remove the weights from the clock

- Wrap the exterior with bubble wrap and blankets to protect the body
We recommend using the original packing materials for the weights of your grandfather clock if you still have them available. Additional handling and packing charges apply. Please contact your moving consultant for more details.
Antique Moving
Antique moving requires special care and attention, considering the unique value and delicate nature of these items. At Condor, our moving consultants provide personalized packing recommendations and emphasize the importance of crate usage to ensure optimal protection during transit.
