What specific services does a moving company include with its moving services? What factors dictate the price for moving services? We explore these questions in this blog post.

Factors That Determine Moving Prices

While the price may be determined before you start your move, you may still be wondering about what factors contributed to this price. Here are some common ones:

• The number of items being moved: The size of your home or apartment will be one of the primary pricing factors.
• The number of Items that require special handling: Also, the type of handling. Do you have a piano? It may bump the price up a bit.
• The distance of the move: Where are you moving? Local and international moves have big price differences between them. This is another main pricing factor.
• The level of service you receive: Are you simply hiring a moving service to move your items, or do you need assistance packing, loading and unloading as well?
• Storage: Will you need temporary storage during your move? If so, is a storage unit satisfactory or do you need portable storage?
