                                 Before  comparing  rates:

 

You should know the different types of rates offered by companies.  We offer Flat" (Binding)  or  "Hourly"  rates which are defined under "Rate Information" on this site.  An estimates is either "Binding" (a  guaranteed  amount)  or  "Non-Binding" (the amount is unknown until the job is complete).  An "Estimate" is not binding unless the estimator has clearly indicated to you that it is or unless it is written in the contract. 

 

Our binding rate will not change unless you add extra items/services to your original  request or cause a significant delay in the move process where movers have to wait on you.     We would be happy to provide you with per item/service prices on potential add-ons (extra boxes, items or services) if you suspect there could be any changes.  We assure you our prices are not inflated on moving day and consider these prices  to be very reasonable.

 

Our estimates are based on an inventory (a list of items to be moved) and other data collected.  Others may offer rates/estimates according to estimated weight of your inventory, by the number of rooms you indicate to be moved, or by the square footage of your home.  Estimates based on inventory are more informative, therefore more accurate.  Inaccurate estimates cause scheduling delays, excess charges, rush jobs resulting in damages, and a variety of other problems. 

 

Compare the number of hours and men suggested by each estimator. Most individuals (and some estimators) will underestimate the number of  hours and men needed for a safe and efficient move. This can be  due to inexperience,  overlooking services and/or extra time needed to move heavy or fragile items safely.  It is more likely that the higher number of hours/men estimated will be the accurate.

 

Services and charges may vary with each mover such as: placing boxes/items in rooms and  where requested, disassembly/reassembly, disconnect/reconnect, blanketing all furniture moved, stretch wrapping, "dressing"  your  home (placing  blankets  on doors  and  railings,  using  floor  runners or carpet protection, stair or long carry, extra mileage. Ask if these services are included and if there are any other charges that could be added to your price on moving day.

 

Ask if there is a local number you can call if you have any problems, claims, late or no-show movers, etc.  Verify that they can be reached during the time of your scheduled move.   We recommend  asking friends, neighbors, co-workers, or others  for any referrals and if they are familiar with any of the movers you are considering.
