How Much Does It Cost To Hire Moving Company?

 You are planning to move to another house but you actually don’t know what you should expect from the moving companies when it comes to pricing?

Being unsure about things while planning a move can delay the process and can also frustrate you as you won’t be able to set up your moving budget. Also, you will also not be able to figure out that the money that you have saved for your move would be enough for your moving expenses. You can ask for free quotes from Agarwal packers and movers, they will definitely provide you with the best price so that you are able to move in your budget. 

There might be many questions in your head that won’t let you focus on the tasks that are waiting for you.  There has to be a base so that you can come to a decision.

It is very important to be sure about the financial aspect of your upcoming relocation.

Here are some of the points that will help you in budgeting your move:

1.    Local Move

If you are planning to move locally, within the city, then the movers will charge accordingly. A local move is also known as short distance move. Movers pack your possessions and transport them from one part of your city to another. Such moves are cheaper than long-distance moves and cross country moves.

There are some movers who charge on hourly basis. They set the cost of moving on the basis of the hours they take to complete your move. But this is generally found in rare cases. They inform you how much they are going to charge for an hour.

2.    Long-distance move

Long distance move is relocating from one part of the country to another. It is has its own set of pricing. For instance, the cost of moving form Delhi to Chandigarh will be more than the cost of moving from Delhi to Chennai. Reason being:

•    Usage of fuel

•    Workforce required to pack and move your belongings

•    Transportation charges for moving long-distance

Moreover, when you move from one city to another then it is natural that you will take all of your belongings so that you can start with your routine over there as well. So the packing material and the packing cost will also be a major factor for that.

3.    Cross-country move

If you are planning to move abroad then be it any time of the year, it is going to cost you a lot of money. Now the questions that comes here is why cross-country moves are expensive?

•    When your belongings get shipped by air or water it costs more.

•    Extra packing supplies are required for added protection because there is a lot of transshipment during a cross-country move.

•    Special team of movers is appointed for a cross-country move as they are trained for such moves only.

4.    Peak-season move

This is a big disadvantage of scheduling your move during the peak-season i.e. the time period between April to October. Due to the high demand the prices of the overall move increases and the movers are less likely to offer discounts and deals. These days are too busy for the movers and as the rule of thumb because of the rise in demand, the prices also increase.

The roads are jam packed during the peak season especially on the weekends. They are pre-booked and there is hardly any slot that is empty for urgent moves.

5.    Weekend moves

If you are planning a move during the peak time of the season, that too on the weekends can really be very expensive for you.

Weekends are the days when people are free from their offices so they find it convenient to book a move during that time.

6.    Moving during the beginning and end of the month

People generally plan their move either in the beginning of the month or in the end and that costs more than planning in the middle. So be prepared if you are planning your move in the starting or in the end of the peak months.

7.    Moving specialty items

If you have belongings that are hefty and oversized then the movers will charge extra money from you. The reason being, these items are difficult to be disassembled, packed, lifted, loaded, transported, unloaded or even assembled at your new place.

It requires extra efforts to pack and move such items so that you find them as good as new in your new house.

Movers often ask for additional charges so make sure that you ask them in advance so that there is no disagreement at in the end. An example of such an extra charge can be the time that movers take to get to your location and then back to their place of operation. They charge it as an additional hour of labor. 

Movers can also ask you to deposit some about while scheduling a move so that they can reserve that slot for you.

Bear in your mind that it is very essential to ask your movers in advance how much they are going to cost. There are some movers like Agarwal packers who provide you will all the estimates before signing with you.

Have a happy and safe move!
