Heading to Alabama? Spartan Moving delivers from San Francisco, the Peninsula, the South Bay and the East Bay to Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery and Tuscaloosa and the rest of the state.
Alabama weather and move timing
Tornadoes and tropical cyclones are two of Alabama's deadliest weather hazards, so severe weather forecasts matter when setting a delivery date. Source: NOAA NCEI State Climate Summary: Alabama.
If your dates fall in those months, leave some room around the delivery window and keep the path from the street to the door clear.

Every piece of furniture is fully wrapped and protected with moving blankets and tape, at no extra charge.

How an Alabama move is priced
Interstate moves like this one are billed by the pound. You get a rate per pound and a minimum space reservation in writing before you book. An overload is billed at that same rate per pound. The estimate is non-binding, because the final price is based on the actual weight of the shipment.
You can also reserve an entire truck at a flat fee. That price is binding, with guaranteed pickup and delivery. Stairs or an elevator at delivery do not add to it.
After loading you get the scale ticket and the net weight. Decide what stays behind before the free on-site inspection, so the estimate covers only what is going.
Delivery window to Alabama
Delivery time window: up to 30 days (company policy). Average delivery time window: 7 to 14 days, counted from your earliest available delivery date.
Tell us the first day someone can let the crew in at the Alabama address; that is where the count begins. Need fixed dates instead? That is what the reserved truck is for.
What can be added at delivery
Access at the new Alabama address can add charges on a weight-based move: extra flights of stairs after the first, a carry longer than 100 feet, elevator use, and a shuttle when the big truck cannot get close. We note the likely ones on your estimate.
What the rate includes
Mileage, taxes and tolls are part of the rate. Loading and unloading, disassembly and reassembly, and a labeled inventory of every item are part of it too. Moving blankets and tape are free; other packing supplies are charged as used. Every article carries basic valuation at $0.60 per pound; for more, see Baker International (account ID 17421). Packing service can be added per pound; unpacking at the new home is not included.
Payment and discounts
The first half is due at pickup and the second at delivery. Payment: Cash, Money Order, Visa, or Mastercard (3% transaction fee applies for card payments). If the balance goes on a card, it is due a day ahead of delivery. Returning customers and real-estate-agent referrals get 7% off, and friend referrals 5%.
