How to pack for a move

 

 

 

How is the customer charged?

Movers charge for labor, trucks, travel time and material. All of these charges must be filed with the local state agency (D.O.T.). A mover is not allowed to charge more - or less - that the filed rates (tariff).

Labor:
You pay an hourly rate for each member of the moving crew, clocked from the time the reach the job until they finish at your new address. The hourly labor rate charge ranges from $20 to $30 per non-union mover and from $35 to $55 per union mover. (MoveYou.com's hourly rate is currently $20. It is, however, subject to change.)

Trucks
A truck is also charged for by the hour, anywhere from $12 to $35. Keep in mind, you need a truck designed to move household goods, not freight. The cost of all tolls is additional.

Travel Time:
This charge covers the mover's cost for returning to his facilities from the destination after the move is complete. The charge usually equals one-half hour to one hour of the cost for labor and trucks.

Materials:
This is the cost of boxes, crates and other packing material provided by the mover before or during the move. Included in the prices is bubble wrap, tape, packing paper, moving blankets (subject to storage, long distance, and international moves) and state of the art moving equipment.

Before the move:
Our movers can do as much or as little packing as you like. It's always a good idea to do as much packing as possible before the move. Please, check out our Buy Boxes section. Upon request, the necessary boxes will be delivered to your home for you to start packing. Box delivery is free*. We offer free boxes as well, please look for it in our Coupons section.

Moving Day:
Upon arrival at your location, your moving crew will complete packing of items, such as electronics, pictures, mirrors, lamps and antiques. Furniture will be properly wrapped and padded. Necessary crating and disassembly of certain types of furniture will be done.

Once loaded, your belongings will be delivered to your new home. Unless otherwise requested, your crew will unwrap/unpack, setup and place furniture to your satisfaction.
