LONG DISTANCE MOVES

Interstate moves are charged by the pounds, according to the state 400N tariff. Of the shipment and the distance it will be moved as well as any additional services that may be required or you have requested. Here are some examples of additional cost and how you can reduce them:
Packing:
Packing is usually charged per box for material and labor. You can save a great deal of money by packing yourself. It can be quite an undertaking so we recommend allowing plenty of time (about a month) to accomplish it. Ask your moving company for "packing tips" (many movers have brochures available). If you are unsure of your packing ability it's best to let the mover pack, at least the breakables if not all. Jewelry, cash, high value items, flammables or combustibles are recommended to be transported by you.
Appliance service: You can eliminate the appliance service charge by disconnecting the washer, dryer and icemaker before the mover arrives. All the hoses should be removed from the back of the washer and the tub secured with Styrofoam blocks to prevent it from moving during transit. The dryer hose should be completely removed. Important: Do not "drag" appliances away from the wall as the feet of the appliance may tear or gouge the floor.
Stairs, Long Carries and Elevators: You will be charge for a stair carry (a per pound price) if you have more than 8 outside steps. Stair carries do not apply inside a single family home. A long carry charge (a per pound price) will apple for every 50 feet from your door to the truck, the first 75 feet are free. You will be charged additionally if an elevator is used.
