How a South Dakota move is priced
A move to South Dakota crosses a state line, so it is priced by weight, not by the hour. 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, because the final price is based on the actual weight of the shipment.
You can also reserve an entire truck at a flat fee. You get a binding price and 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. A free on-site inspection gives the most accurate estimate.
Delivery window to South Dakota
Delivery time window: up to 30 days (company policy). Average delivery time window: 7 to 14 days, counted from your earliest available delivery date.
Pick that date carefully: it is the first day the South Dakota home can take the shipment. A reserved truck gives fixed dates if you need them.
Charges that can apply at delivery
Four delivery-side services may apply on a weight-based move: extra flights of stairs after the first, a carry longer than 100 feet, elevator use, and a shuttle when the big truck cannot get close. A reserved-truck flat fee has none of these.
What the rate includes
Mileage, taxes and tolls are part of the rate. Loading and unloading, disassembly and reassembly, and a labeled inventory of every item are part of it too. Moving blankets and tape are free; other packing supplies are charged as used. Every article carries basic valuation at $0.60 per pound; for more, see Baker International (account ID 17421). Packing service can be added per pound; unpacking at the new home is not included.
Payment and discounts
You pay 50% at pickup and 50% at 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. Discounts: 7% for returning customers and agent referrals, 5% for friend referrals.
