How a Raleigh move is priced
A move to Raleigh crosses a state line, so it is priced by weight, not by the hour. The quote sets a rate per pound and a minimum space reservation for your shipment. Extra pounds are charged at the rate you were quoted. The estimate is non-binding, because the final price is based on the actual weight of the shipment.
Prefer one fixed number? Ask for a flat fee based on reserving an entire truck. You get a binding price and guaranteed pickup and delivery. One crew handles both ends, with no accessorial charges.
After loading you get the scale ticket and the net weight. The estimate starts with a free on-site inspection of the home.
Delivery window
Delivery time window: up to 30 days (company policy). Average delivery time window: 7 to 14 days, counted from your earliest available delivery date.
We count from your earliest available date so the truck does not reach Raleigh before you can receive it. Need fixed dates instead? That is what the reserved truck is for.
Delivery-day extras on a weight-based move
Four delivery-side services may apply on a weight-based move: 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.
What you pay for, and what is extra
You do not pay extra for mileage, taxes or tolls, or for weekend dates. Door-to-door labor is in it too: loading, unloading, taking furniture apart and putting it back, labeling and the inventory. Moving blankets and tape are free; other packing supplies are charged 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 service can be added per pound; unpacking at the new home is not included.
Paying for the move
Payment is split, 50% when we load and 50% when we deliver in Raleigh. Payment: Cash, Money Order, Visa, or Mastercard (3% transaction fee applies for card payments). Card balances are paid one day before delivery. Discounts: 7% for returning customers and agent referrals, 5% for friend referrals.
