Where we deliver in Virginia
Virginia is an interstate move from the Bay Area, so it is planned and priced under federal rules rather than the California hourly tariff. We deliver Bay Area households to Arlington, Alexandria, Richmond, Virginia Beach and Norfolk and to towns across the state.
Virginia weather and move timing
On average, a tropical cyclone or its remnants affect Virginia about once a year. Source: NOAA NCEI State Climate Summary: Virginia.
Virginia summers are often humid, with frequent afternoon and evening thunderstorms that can interrupt an unload. Source: NOAA NCEI State Climate Summary: Virginia.
Weather does not change the price, but it can change the pace of unloading, so build some slack into your plans.
Every piece of furniture is fully wrapped and protected with moving blankets and tape, at no extra charge.
Parking and access in Arlington and Alexandria
Arlington County requires a Moving Van/Container Permit for curbside moving vans, which may stay on the street a maximum of two consecutive days. Source: Arlington County: Moving Van/Container Permit.
Under the same Arlington permit, a residential moving container or portable storage device may stay on the street a maximum of 30 consecutive days. Source: Arlington County: Moving Van/Container Permit.
Alexandria lets movers reserve up to 5 on-street spaces of about 20 feet each; requests are due by noon three full business days before the spaces are needed. Source: City of Alexandria: Temporary Reserved Parking.
In Richmond, a parking permit for a residential move is handled by the City of Richmond Parking Division. Source: City of Richmond Police Department: Permits.
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 Virginia move is priced
Interstate moves like this one are billed by the pound. The quote sets a rate per pound and a minimum space reservation for your shipment. If the shipment runs heavier, the rate does not go up. The estimate is non-binding: the scale sets the final number.
If a set price matters more, reserve an entire truck for a flat fee. The fee is binding and includes guaranteed pickup and delivery. The same team loads and unloads, and there is no weight limit.
After loading you get the scale ticket and the net weight.
Delivery window to Virginia
Delivery time window: up to 30 days (company policy). Average delivery time window: 7 to 14 days, counted from your earliest available delivery date.
Tell us the first day someone can let the crew in at the Virginia address; that is where the count begins. Need fixed dates instead? That is what the reserved truck is for.
Charges that can apply at delivery
On a weight-based move, a few services can be charged at delivery when the Virginia home needs them: 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.
Included in the per-pound rate
The rate covers all mileage, taxes and tolls. Loading and unloading, disassembly and reassembly, and a labeled inventory of every item are part of it too. We bring blankets and tape at no charge; other materials 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 is an add-on, and unpacking boxes 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.
