Frequently Asked Questions:
Usually the cheapest day to move will be a weekday, as these days are less busy than weekends. Most moving companies will be able to offer better rates on weekdays as the competition for these dates among clients is less high among clients. Moving on a weekday could help you save money during your upcoming move.

Having your moving company pack your items will potentially incur a higher hourly rate, ranging from $20 to $40 per hour. There will also be additional charges for materials and supplies used when packing your items, such as boxes, tape, furniture wrap, etc. On average, it costs between $600-$1000 for a complete pack and move of a one bedroom apartment.
If you feel that your moving crew met or exceeded your expectations you may feel inclined to include gratuity as a thank you for their hard work. Generally, the average tip for your moving crew is between 10-20% of your total move bill. This will be split up and shared among the moving crew.

The major costs that a moving company will charge you for are labor, usually at an hourly rate, travel or gas fee, truck fee, and any additional fees for supplies or stairs. Simply use the formula (labor, at an hourly rate) x (projected move time) + (travel/gas fee) + (additional fees) + (taxes) = total move price
A good rule of thumb is to expect to pay between $30-$50 an hour per person for full service professional movers. This can include services such as packing, loading, transportation, unloading, and unpacking.
The cheapest, and most labor intensive, way to move would be to rent your own moving truck from vendors such as Uhaul, Penske, or Budget and move all of your items to your new residence without the help of professionals. This will certainly be cheaper than hiring a professional moving company, usually by about 250%.
If you are moving locally, within the same state and less than 100 miles, than it will almost certainly be cheaper to hire a reputable local moving company as opposed to buying new furniture at your new residence. However, you may save money on your move by discarding or recycling old or unwanted items prior to your movers showing up. Visit our blog for tips on how to discard or recycle old unwanted items at https://www.apartmentmovingservices.com/5-ways-to-reduce-waste-recycle-before-a-move/
Long distance moves (moves >100 miles) will incur additional charges due to the significantly longer distance traveled and the liability that is required to protect your belongings during the trip. On average, the cost of moving a 1 bedroom apartment approximately 500 miles away will be between $1200-$1500. Moving a 3 bedroom home approximately 500 miles will cost you on average between $3000-$5000.
Moving a 2000 sq ft home may require between a 3-5 man crew and, depending on if packing or supplies are needed, can range from $2000-$5000. These prices increase if moving longer distances such as across state lines or over 100 miles.
The average cost of two movers is $100/hr, with the average move time for a two bedroom apartment being between 3-5 hours. With the additional truck, gas, and travel fees the average total move price for a two bedroom apartment is between $400-$700.
The price of moving a small apartment will depend on three variables: 1) how furnished the apartment is, 2) stairs, and 3) the distance being moved. Most companies do have a two hour minimum, meaning that if your job were to take less than two hours you are still obligated to pay up to two hours worth of labor. For a lightly furnished apartment with no stairs we find the average cost to be between $350-$400. For a heavily furnished apartment with a considerable amount of stairs the average cost is usually between $750-$900. Local moves will most likely be based on an hourly rate, while longer moves (>100miles) will usually be a fixed rate.
After discussing the details of your move with one of our moving consultants a formal quote will be sent to your preferred method of communication. If the quote is agreed upon by all parties a date will be set for the move to take place. No deposit is required, and the full amount stated in the quote will be collected near the completion of your move.
All of our quotes and in-home estimates performed by a team member are both free and have no obligation for payment or scheduling. When the quote is agreed upon by all parties, a date will be set for your move.
