How is my moving estimate calculated? 

Your moving estimate is calculated based on a few key factors that can affect the cost of your move. Let’s go over a few of these to provide you with more clarity. 

• Your Household Goods: We arranged the chart above based on the size of the customers home because it usually correlates directly with the amount of household goods a person has. In essence, the more things you need moved, the more expensive your move will be. This is why we strongly advise de-cluttering your space and donating things you don’t need. It doesn’t have to be spring for you to get some spring cleaning done. 
• Your Moving Needs: No two moves are exactly the same. So, as you plan out your upcoming move, make sure you’re as clear and thorough as possible about what you need from the moving company you hire. Even if the customer service team doesn’t ask the right questions, take the initiative and make sure all your bases are covered. Things such as storage units can cost you more. 
• Special Items and Requests: Do you know what specialty items are? In the moving world, it refers to items that are hard to move or require special handling to safely relocate. This includes things like pool tables or specialty art and artifacts. Since not every moving team is equipped to safely relocate these kinds of items, you may be charged extra.
