Where we deliver in Rhode Island
Moving from the Bay Area to Rhode Island means crossing at least one state line. Our trucks deliver to Providence, Newport, Warwick and Cranston, and to the smaller towns in between, on the same interstate terms.
Rhode Island weather and move timing
Rhode Island gets occasional intense storms known as nor'easters, so winter moves should leave room for storm delays. Source: NOAA NCEI State Climate Summary: Rhode Island.
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 Providence
Providence requires an overnight parking permit to park on the street from 2:00AM to 5:00AM, so a moving truck should not be left on the street overnight. Source: City of Providence Public Works: Parking.
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 Rhode Island move is priced
There is no hourly clock on a move to Rhode Island; the price follows weight. Expect a rate per pound plus a minimum space reservation, the least you pay for, much like the minimum hours on a local move. Weight above the reservation costs the same rate. Because the final price follows the actual weight, a weight-based estimate is non-binding.
The fixed-price option is a flat fee for reserving an entire truck. It is binding and comes with guaranteed pickup and delivery. One crew handles both ends, with no accessorial charges.
You see the proof: the net weight and the scale ticket come to you after pickup. The estimate starts with a free on-site inspection of the home.
Delivery window to Rhode Island
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 Rhode Island in mind.
Delivery-day extras on a weight-based move
Access at the new Rhode Island address can add charges 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.
What the rate includes
Mileage, taxes and tolls are part of the rate. Loading, unloading, and furniture disassembly and reassembly are included, as are labeling and an inventory list. 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). Not in the base rate: packing (available per pound) and unpacking.
Paying for the move
You pay 50% at pickup and 50% at delivery. 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.
