Wheaton World Wide specializes in lump sum relocations, with services designed to make moves smoother and more cost-effective for employers and employees alike. Before you choose a moving company for your lump sum move, look for these features:
1. Start with Transparent Pricing for Accurate Budgeting
When it comes to lump sum moves, transparency is essential. Look for a moving partner with a clear pricing structure and firm, binding estimates so there are no surprises along the way.
- For Employers: Clear pricing allows you to set a precise relocation budget that frees your employees to focus on the moving process without worrying about unexpected costs.
- For Employees: With an upfront estimate, employees can allocate their lump sum wisely—whether adding services like packing, budgeting for high-value items or reserving some funds for other transition expenses.
2. Seek Comprehensive Moving Services
A successful lump sum move requires more than just transport. A partner offering comprehensive services adds significant value by handling the various aspects of a move that may otherwise cause delays or stress.
Wheaton’s moving packages cover all bases, including:
- Professional Packing: From office equipment to personal belongings, expert packing ensures everything is securely wrapped, saving you time and hassle.
- Reliable Transport: Our transportation services are safe, efficient and designed to meet your timelines, no matter the distance.
- Short-Term Storage Options: If employees need extra time before settling in, short-term storage bridges the gap between move-out and move-in.
3. Find a Dedicated Coordinator to Simplify Communication
Employees need clear communication and support to make a seamless relocation. A moving partner that offers a single point of contact throughout the move—such as your local Wheaton agent—can significantly reduce stress.
This coordinator should be available to handle all the logistics, provide updates and address any last-minute needs. From planning to follow-up, they ensure everything is on track and relieve employees of their day-to-day concerns.
4. Cater Moving Plans to Individual Preferences
Every relocation is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach won’t work for every employee. A moving partner that offers flexible, customized plans will enable employees to personalize their move based on their budget and needs.
- Employees can choose the services that matter most to them, like enhanced packing options and specialized transport for items like pianos.
- By tailoring the plan, your employee can ensure their lump sum covers everything they need.
5. Stretch the Lump Sum Further with Discounts and Incentives
Financial incentives from a moving partner make it easier to maximize the lump sum package. Look for discounts, financing options and other incentives to help employees get more from their relocation budget.
For example, we offer:
- Discounted rates on packing, moving and storage services to make relocation more affordable.
- Financing options through partners like Enhancify, which connects your employee to more than 200 lenders to ease upfront costs, which can be a critical option for some employees.
- Specialized services for unique or delicate items, like large appliances or specialized equipment.
6. Ensure Peace of Mind with Additional Benefits
A quality moving partner provides added benefits to address unexpected delays and issues. We offer enhanced benefits for our clients with lump sum programs, including:
- Free Valuation Coverage up to $75,000 to protect valuable items.
- Guaranteed Claim Resolution within 30 days, ensuring any issues are handled promptly.
- Increased Delay Compensation: Employees will receive $150 in compensation should any delays arise.
7. Streamline the Process with Employer Support

Our dedicated team operates within set budgets and timelines while handling as many of the details as possible. This leaves employers free to concentrate on productivity and reduces the amount of time and energy spent coordinating relocations internally.
