Anyone have experience relocating for Amazon with Graebel?

I'm moving from coast to coast, to Virginia. I barely have any belongings that I would need help with.
But, it would be great to get a temporary accommodation like Airbnb or hotel while I settle in over there. Any suggestions?

I did. Temp housing was part of the offer (length of time depends on location and if you are currently renting or buying). We were allowed to book a reasonable Airbnb instead of the corporate housing. They said cleaning fees weren’t covered that route, but they actually did reimburse the full amount 🤷‍♀️. Lump sum option was 10k for me moving to Seattle but we opted for graebel to cover because of needing temp housing, flights to find a home, a full house to move, breaking a lease, having our cars moved etc.

Did they reimburse all the expenses for the home finding trip ? Curious on the type of hotel or the rates we’ll be able to book

If this is the initial relocation incentive, just take the lump sum payment. No matter what I did, I would've "paid" more via Gaebrel than out of pocket.

How much was the lump sum and which city were you moving to?

Graebel services improved when the company developed the app to manage services. Takes care of expenses, immigration, temporary housing, and shipment status info.

Which option did you go for and what did u get

I think the biggest reason to use their services is if you have a 2bdrm or larger home to move.
I don't have that so trying to see if it's worth it or not

Am from the area — if they don’t end up offering temporary housing, there’s more affordable extended stay hotels a little more west (Chantilly, Loudoun area)
