Binding or not-to-exceed estimates are safer than phone guesses. Request an in-home or detailed video walkthrough before agreeing.
Standard carrier liability covers $0.60 per pound per item. A broken 20-pound television provides $12 under that formula. Full Value Protection costs extra for higher-value loads.
Stairs, pianos, safes, and tight third-floor access can trigger added surcharges. Disclose these details before booking. End-of-month, weekend, and June through August moves often raise hourly rates. Midweek or mid-month dates tend to cost less.
