What about pricing? How will I be charged for my
move?
Price is determined on four elements: labor, truck
fee, materials and valuation/insurance.
- Labor – You pay an hourly rate for the
number of movers and trucks that will be used for
your move. This billing starts from the time they
arrive at the job site and ends when they complete
the job at your new address.
- Truck fee – You pay a truck fee for each
truck at the end of the job that’s to cover the cost
of the truck/s that will be used for your move. Keep
in mind you will need a truck that has been
specifically designed to move household goods, not
to move freight.
- Materials - You pay for the exact cost of
boxes and other packing materials provided by the
movers during the move. Call us to get a full list
of packing materials and prices.
- Valuation/insurance – This is an optional
choice, if you have high value items that need to be
moved and you need more than the basic coverage.

How many types of estimate are there?
In the moving and storage industry we have two types
of estimates: a non binding estimate which means that
your final cost will be based on the actual amount of
hours and materials used for the job; and a binding
estimate which gives you a guaranteed price that won’t
exceed the amount quoted.
There are a few other things that you should know about
estimates!
Get at least three estimates. This will allow
you to make a fair objective comparison.
Compare apples to apples. Break down the elements
of each mover’s estimate and make a detailed, realistic
comparison of the parts, as well as the whole.
Expect estimates to fall with a reasonable range of each
other. A good estimate should be no higher – or lower –
than 20 percent of the final cost of the move.
Ask a friend. We also suggest that you will talk
to your friends and co- workers. Get their unbiased
opinions of movers they have worked with. Learn from
their experiences and try to make a decision. No one
wants to recommend a mover to a friend and have the move
go badly. At Mark To Go Moving & Deliveries, we are
proud to say that a large percentage of our new
customers come to us from past satisfied customers.
What about last minute changes to my move?
If your plans change for any reason, make sure to
advise your relocation consultant as far in advance as
possible. We will send our estimator to provide you with
a second on-site estimate, and based on that we will
make the proper adjustments costs for the move. |
