What goes into a moving quote?
The price depends on how much you’re moving, access at both addresses and the services you need.
What affects the cost?
These factors can change the crew, truck, time or service needed. Ask for the full charging basis in your written quote.
How much is moving
Furniture, boxes, garage contents and bulky items all affect the load. Photos or an inventory reduce guesswork.
Access at both ends
Stairs, lifts, loading bay bookings, narrow entries and the distance from truck to door change handling time.
Distance and travel
Local and interstate moves are planned differently. Confirm how travel time and any return travel are charged.
Services you add
Packing, unpacking, furniture assembly, storage and redelivery should be included in the scope if needed.
Dates and timing
Availability, building access hours and a specific delivery window may affect the plan.
Questions worth asking.
Make sure you understand the minimum charge, when the clock starts and stops, travel charges, extra services and what happens if the scope changes.
