Minnesota weather and move timing
Snowstorms are a normal part of Minnesota's winter and early spring climate, so moves in those months should plan for snow. Source: NOAA NCEI State Climate Summary: Minnesota.
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 a Minnesota move is priced
Moving to Minnesota is priced the interstate way, by weight. The quote sets a rate per pound and a minimum space reservation for your shipment. Weight above the reservation costs the same rate. The estimate is non-binding: the scale sets the final number.
The fixed-price option is a flat fee for reserving an entire truck. It is binding and comes with guaranteed pickup and delivery. No weight limit applies, and access at the Minnesota end does not change the price.
The loaded truck is weighed, and the scale ticket shows your net weight.
Delivery window to Minnesota
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 Minnesota in mind. Need fixed dates instead? That is what the reserved truck is for.
Delivery-day extras on a weight-based move
On a weight-based move, a few services can be charged at delivery when the Minnesota 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. We note the likely ones on your estimate.
Included in the per-pound rate
You do not pay extra for mileage, taxes or tolls, or for weekend dates. Loading, unloading, and furniture disassembly and reassembly are included, as are labeling and an inventory list. We bring blankets and tape at no charge; other materials are charged as used. Basic valuation is $0.60 per pound per article, and full value protection can be bought from Baker International (account ID 17421). Packing service can be added per pound; unpacking at the new home is not included.
Paying for the move
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 save 7%, as do agent referrals; friend referrals save 5%.
