Factors Affecting Moving Quotes

A variety of factors will influence the moving quote that you will get from any mover. Once you have understood these factors, it will be easier for you to get the most accurate moving quote. The factors you need to be aware of include:

Moving Date

The cost of moving does differ, depending on the date of the year. There are some dates that it can be cheaper to move your belongings. To save more, you can ask your moving company to choose the ideal dates that you can spend a minimum on the moving package you have selected.

Season

Seasons also affect the amount you will be spending on your moving. For instance, summer is expensive to move, as the demand for moving is higher. During this time, the temperatures are favorable, and most people move from one place to another. Therefore, when you want to spend relatively cheaper, you will need to move during non-peak season dates. Summer season is the peak, including May, June, July, August, and September.

Distance Covered

When moving, you will expect the distance between your old home to your new home to affect the cost. Therefore, if you are moving to a new destination that is far away, you will expect higher long distance moving quotes.

Weight of Items

Most of the movers will charge you on moving depending on the weight of the items you want to move. Some go to the extent of charging you on the minimum weight. Therefore, it can be costly to move when you have few and light items to move. Also, if you have bulkier items, your moving cost would be higher.

Home Size

Besides, some moving companies would charge you depending on the size of the home you want to move to. Ideally, the items in a four-bedroomed house cannot be compared to that in a studio apartment. You will be having more to move when you live in a four-bedroom house. Therefore, you will be expected to pay more for the service.

Add-On Services

A moving company can provide you with moving add-ons to make your moving experience better. When moving, you will have your TV and antennae unmounted. Therefore, a moving company can offer you these add-ons like remounting your TV in your new home. At our company, we will provide you with add-ons like computer network installation, TV mounting, debris pickup, cleaning, among many more. From our website, you can see the list of add-ons that we provide.

Costs Related to Labor and Packing

A moving company can pack your items too during a moving process. However, you will have to spend more as they will have to send staff to do the work. This is an instance when you are busy with work or family affairs or just the work done by others. “We Move Anywhere” Moving Company would be an ideal option for you, whichever the case, as you can hire our moving services alone or include packing options.

Security

When moving your items, you want them to be delivered safely. However, they may be stolen or damaged during the process, and you may wish compensation. Different moving companies have various protection packages to the items you move, and this will be affected by the amount you are willing to pay. You will have to pay extra when you want to include these options for your moving quote. For instance, we do have the Full-Value Protection for the initial quote. However, Minimum Protection is a less expensive option that you can go for.
 

Storage Charges

During the moving process, you may need storage services. Such instances will occur when there are complexities like more items to move or moving over a long distance, and therefore, long distance moving quotes. When you need storage services to be included in your moving quote, you will have to spend more.

Differentiating Instant Ballpark Quotes and Moving Estimates

With the complications involved during a moving process, it would be ideal for telling customers a precise amount they would need to incur. It can be stressful to realize that you have to spend more than you had initially planned. Therefore, a moving company should ensure that the estimates that they give their customers are realistic. Also, the vocabulary used during moving can get mixed up. 

Instant ballpark quote

The limited information you provide to the moving company when you plan for the move would help come up with the instant ballpark quote. It is just a provisional value, and it would not be the amount you pay to get the work done. In most cases, an instant ballpark cost would be used as a stepping stone to determine the price you would incur during the moving process.

On the other hand, moving cost estimates, is more complicated than the instant ballpark quote. You will be required to provide more and detailed information to create a moving quote. The moving company would want to know more about the items you want to move, like the home’s  weight and size, to come up with the moving quote.

You don’t need to worry as “We Move Anywhere” Moving Company would provide you with Full Service Moving Quotes including International Moving Quotes. When you are interested in the moving quote, we will also provide you with both in-home and virtual walk-throughs to estimate the cost.
