What changes the price
Two moves of the same size can cost very different amounts. These are the reasons.
How much you own
More furniture and boxes means more hours — and sometimes a bigger crew or a second truck.
Stairs and elevators
Walk-ups, long hallways and waiting for a shared elevator all add time. Book the service elevator early.
Travel time
Many movers charge for the drive to your home and back to their base. Ask how it is billed.
Date
Month-end, summer and weekends are busiest. Mid-month weekdays are easier to book.
Packing
If movers pack for you, add their hours and the boxes and materials they bring.
Heavy or special items
Pianos, safes, hot tubs and large appliances often have a separate fee.
