What Costs Go Into a Move?
When planning a move, it’s essential to understand what costs are involved so you can budget effectively. At Ameritex Movers, we ensure our pricing is transparent and straightforward. By accessing your client portal, you can find a breakdown of the costs, but here’s a quick overview of the key elements that go into your move.
1. Trip Charge
One of the first costs is the trip charge. This covers the time and expense for the movers to get to your location. The good news? You’ve already paid this fee when you scheduled your move, so it won’t be something you need to worry about on moving day.
2. Hourly Labor Rate
Once your movers arrive and you sign them in, your hourly labor rate begins. The time continues until your move is complete—whether that involves unloading, assembling furniture, or even unpacking. This hourly rate remains flexible, allowing you to adjust your needs as you go, including additional stops or services.
3. Additional Services
If you need help with specialty items such as pianos, pool tables, or large safes, this is considered an additional service. These items often require extra care, equipment, or personnel, so be sure to let your moving coordinator know in advance so everything can be planned properly.
4. Packing Services
If you need packing assistance, the hourly rate will also cover this. Ameritex Movers offers full packing services, from boxing up your belongings to wrapping fragile items. You can opt to pack everything yourself, or we can handle it all for you.
5. Supply Costs
Some customers prefer to provide their own moving supplies, such as boxes and tape, while others choose to purchase them through Ameritex Movers. Whether you need materials or already have them, we make it easy to coordinate everything in advance.
