How a Salt Lake City move is priced
A move to Salt Lake City crosses a state line, so it is priced by weight, not by the hour. Your written estimate lists the rate per pound and a minimum space reservation. If the shipment runs heavier, the rate does not go up. Because the final price follows the actual weight, a weight-based estimate is non-binding.
You can also reserve an entire truck at a flat fee. It is binding and comes with guaranteed pickup and delivery. No weight limit applies, and access at the Salt Lake City end does not change the price.
After pickup the loaded shipment is weighed, and you receive the net weight and the scale ticket.
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 Salt Lake City before you can receive it. A reserved truck gives fixed dates if you need them.
Charges that can apply at delivery
Access at the new Salt Lake City address can add charges on a weight-based move: stairs past the first flight, a walk of more than 100 feet, an elevator, or a shuttle to a smaller truck.
What you pay for, and what is extra
You do not pay extra for mileage, taxes or tolls, or for weekend dates. 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. Every article carries basic valuation at $0.60 per pound; for more, see 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). A card payment for the delivery half is due one day before the truck arrives. Returning customers and real-estate-agent referrals get 7% off, and friend referrals 5%.
