It\u2019s important that you understand what affects the moving cost so that you can have more control over your own moving costs and expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Home size<\/strong>. The size of your home is especially relevant when using the services of local movers. The bigger the home, the more items are likely to be in it. The more items to pack and move, the more time it&#8217;ll take to complete the move. Local movers charge by the hour, remember?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Distance<\/strong>. The move distance is the major price-formation factor when moving across the country. The more miles the movers have to cover to reach the new place, the more the interstate move will cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weight<\/strong>. Long-distance movers calculate the price based on the total weight of the shipment. So, reduce the number of items to move to lower the moving cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extra services<\/strong>. Each additional service such as packing, unpacking, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and temporary storage will cost more money. If possible, pack up your things by yourself to save some serious cash.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Complexity<\/strong>. Movers will charge you more for packing and transporting specialty items such as a piano, a pool table, a heavy safe, a hot tub, or antique furniture. Also, too many flights of stairs on Moving day are likely to inflate the final moving bill. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Move date<\/strong>. Professional moving companies tend to charge more during the peak moving season (May &#8211; September) because of the higher demand for their services. If possible, consider moving during the off-peak moving season for a better deal. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/cut-moving-costs\/\">How to Cut Moving Costs: 15 Ways to Save Big<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How_movers_charge:_Additional_charges_and_fees\">How movers charge: Additional charges and fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing is that moving companies may charge you more money, either for add-on services that are required for the successful completion of the move or for any unexpected problems on the day of the move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last time I moved house, I had to make a tough decision about whether or not to use a couple of extra services provided by the moving company I had hired. Keep in mind that each add-on service will cost you money, so assess your own situation carefully to determine whether you really need a certain moving service or not.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how movers charge extra \u2013 that is, the different ways movers may charge you for any additional services or Moving day difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Packing labor<\/strong>. Packing is the most common service requested from full-service movers. If you wish professional packers to protect your prized possessions, then you\u2019ll have to pay extra for that add-on service. Packing labor alone can cost from $300 to $750 depending on the number and nature of the items for moving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Charge for furniture disassembly<\/strong>. If you\u2019re moving large pieces of furniture, then they have to be disassembled properly for safe transportation and then re-assembled in the new place. Professional movers can do this for you for a fee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Charge for handling bulky items<\/strong>. If you\u2019ve decided to take with you extra big items such as a piano, a pool table, a heavy safe, or bulky pieces of furniture, your movers may charge you more money for the additional trouble.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Elevator fee (flight charge)<\/strong>. Your movers may charge you an elevator fee (around $75) if the elevator in the apartment building is out of order or if the building does not have an elevator in the first place. Make sure you reserve the elevator exclusively for your move.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Long carry fee<\/strong>. If your movers are unable to park close to the entrance of the house or apartment building, you\u2019re likely to be charged extra for the inconvenience. Known as a long carry fee, expect to pay anywhere between $90 and $120 for every 75 feet from the door to their truck.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Storage fee (delayed delivery fee)<\/strong>. If your things need to be stored temporarily at the movers\u2019 storage facility, then you will be charged a storage fee for the time your possessions are kept by the moving company until you can receive them at the new place. Make sure you tell your movers in advance that you wish to have your items stored so that they can calculate the cost of the storage fee in their estimate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Express delivery fee.<\/strong> If you want your household things to be delivered to the new address as fast as possible, then your movers will charge you an express delivery fee for the exclusive use of the moving truck.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extra stops charge. <\/strong>If you want your movers to stop for additional pick-ups or drop-offs along the moving route to the new home, then you\u2019re likely to be charged extra for the add-on service.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Travel fee.<\/strong> Your local moving company may charge you a travel fee \u2013 the time they need to reach your home from their main office. Typically, a travel fee is calculated as one extra hour of labor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/hidden-moving-costs\/\">20 Hidden Moving Costs and Expenses When Hiring Movers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOCAL MOVERS: On average, local movers charge $80 per hour per mover.
