Budgeting for a move can be tricky, and nothing is worse than unexpected fees popping up on moving day. At Moving Day, transparency is a cornerstone of our service. We believe you deserve a clear understanding of all potential costs upfront, with no surprises. While some companies might not fully disclose every potential charge, we want to empower you with knowledge, and here at Moving Day we never have any hidden fees. Here’s a look at common hidden moving costs and, more importantly, how our professional approach helps you avoid them, ensuring your move stays on budget:
- Long Carry Fees: Some movers charge extra if they have to carry items an excessive distance from your home to the moving truck (e.g., in a large apartment complex).
- Our Solution: We provide clear quotes based on a thorough understanding of your property access. We discuss these logistics upfront, integrating them into your initial estimate to the best of our ability for services like our apartment movers.
- Stair Carry Fees: Navigating multiple flights of stairs, especially in buildings without elevators, can sometimes incur additional charges.
- Our Solution: Moving Day will never charge you an extra fee for stairs. Rest assured you wont get gouged by us for the layout of your home, so whether you need residential movers or commercial movers, we have the same clear pricing.
- Packing Material Costs: If you haven’t packed everything yourself, packing materials (boxes, tape, bubble wrap) can add up. Some companies charge a premium for these on moving day.
- Our Solution: We offer professional Packing and Unpacking services with clear low pricing for materials, or we can advise you on the best supplies to purchase beforehand.
- Disassembly/Reassembly Fees: Taking apart and putting together furniture (beds, desks, etc.) might be an extra charge with some movers.
- Our Solution: Our trained crews often include standard furniture disassembly and reassembly as part of our comprehensive service, as discussed in your initial quote.
- Shuttle Service Fees: If a large moving truck can’t access your street or driveway, a smaller “shuttle” truck might be used, incurring an additional fee.
- Our Solution: We do our best to assess access points for your property during the quoting process. For moves in areas like Colorado Springs or Castle Rock, we plan the logistics to minimize the need for a shuttle or include it in the upfront estimate.
Choosing a reputable and transparent moving company like Moving Day is your best defense against hidden costs. We provide detailed, upfront quotes tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you can budget with confidence. For a clear and comprehensive moving estimate, don’t hesitate to contact us today.
