The flat rate move price is based on the shipper completing all pre-move requirements prior to arrival of the moving crew, i.e. packing, servicing appliances and electronics, etc. In the event that shipper is not fully prepared to move upon arrival of the moving crew, all charges will be based on the applicable hourly rate and no flat rate will apply.

Should shipper fail to notify the company in writing of any such items of extraordinary value, such items shall be moved at the risk of the shipper.

Waiting Time – The applicable current hourly rate will be charged on hourly and flat rate moves whenever the crew is unable to work due to any reason beyond our control, including but not limited to the following: waiting for availability or access to elevators or loading docks, waiting for previous occupant to vacate move-in premises, scheduling conflicts with other moving companies, waiting for customer to arrive at move address, real estate settlement delays, etc.

Large Items & Furniture – Large items with limited moving clearance are moved at the risk of the shipper. Reassemble of furniture, appliances and other items, which have been disassembled solely for the purpose of fitting through doorways, stairways, etc. is the sole responsibility of the shipper.
