When the customer is remaining local or within 100 miles from the point of origin, rates are typically based on the volume of items to be transported. The amount of property involved will impact the amount and size of the trucks, the number of employees necessary, and the time frame the process entails. Additional fees may apply for large items, packing supplies, and challenging locations at either point. On average a full service company currently charges $150-170 to handle the contents of a 4 bedroom home.
Those facing long distance relocations are usually charged according to the weight or cubic feet of items being moved. Each case varies from the next, yet the average apartment has 2200 to 3200 pounds of contents, while a 4 bedroom home may be closer to 12,000 pounds. A more precise estimate and binding agreement can be achieved when the company does an on-site inspection. Decreasing the amount of property to transport by way of sales and donations, and locating free packing materials can play a role in a more affordable moving experience.
With so many other expenses that come along with relocations it is imperative to maximize the savings when hiring a professional, affordable moving service. To meet any budget and time constraints a comprehensive online search and multiple estimates will prove to be beneficial. Working with a reputable company can help ensure the usually daunting process will be a reasonably priced success.
