Colorado weather and move timing
Colorado's mountains generate thunderstorms especially in summer, and northeastern Colorado lies in Hail Alley, the most hail-prone area in the country, so summer moves can face storms. Source: NOAA NCEI State Climate Summary: Colorado.
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.
Parking and access in Colorado Springs and Fort Collins
Colorado Springs uses revocable permits for private use of the public right of way; temporary permits can cover dumpsters and POD storage containers. Source: City of Colorado Springs: Revocable Permit.
Most Fort Collins residential permit (RP3) zones let non residents park once per day per zone for up to two hours; guest permits are available. Source: City of Fort Collins: Residential Parking Permit Program (RP3).
Boulder's Neighborhood Parking Permit zones each have their own public parking limits, and the city does not issue those permits to motorhomes, RVs, campers or trailers. Source: City of Boulder: Neighborhood Parking Permit (NPP) Program.
If the new home is in a building or HOA community, ask them about delivery hours and elevator reservations and let us know.
How a Colorado move is priced
Moving to Colorado is priced the interstate way, by weight. The estimate gives two numbers that matter: the rate per pound and the minimum space reservation. Weight above the reservation costs the same rate. The estimate is non-binding: the scale sets the final number.
If a set price matters more, reserve an entire truck for a flat fee. The fee is binding and includes guaranteed pickup and delivery. Stairs or an elevator at delivery do not add to it.
After pickup the loaded shipment is weighed, and you receive the net weight and the scale ticket. A free on-site inspection gives the most accurate estimate.
Delivery window to Colorado
Delivery time window: up to 30 days (company policy). Average delivery time window: 7 to 14 days, counted from your earliest available delivery date.
Set your earliest available date with your travel, closing or lease start in Colorado in mind.
Delivery-day extras on a weight-based move
On a weight-based move, a few services can be charged at delivery when the Colorado home needs them: stairs beyond the first flight, a long carry over 100 feet, an elevator, or a shuttle when the truck cannot reach the door.
What you pay for, and what is extra
The rate covers all mileage, taxes and tolls. Loading and unloading, disassembly and reassembly, and a labeled inventory of every item are part of it too. Blankets and tape cost nothing extra, and other supplies are billed as used. Basic valuation at $0.60 per pound per article is included; full value protection is available from Baker International (account ID 17421). Packing is an add-on, and unpacking boxes is not included.
Payment and discounts
Half is paid on the day of pickup and half on 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%.
