Rates
Moves within a 50 mile radius are based on an hourly rate. If you are moving more than 50 miles from your point of origin, charges as based on the weight/volume of the shipment. The hourly rate for the crew is based on the number of movers and trucks required. We always assign the optimal number of movers to every job in order to minimize cost and maximize productivity. Time starts when the movers arrive at the load-up point and stops after they get the last piece of furniture off the truck and into the house. There is a 2 hour minimum, Monday – Friday and a 3 hour minimum on Saturday - Sunday.

Forms of Accepted Payment
We accept cash, money orders, traveler’s checks, Visa, MasterCard and personal checks. All returned checks will occur a $35 overdraft charge. If we are unable to recover the funds we will prosecute you to the full extent of the law. When paying with a credit card, the card and cardholder must be present (credit cards are not accepted over the phone). We DO NOT accept starter checks, or third party checks.

Written Binding Estimates
With a Written Binding Estimate (for long-distance moves over 50 miles), the price we quote is the price you pay! A Written Binding Estimate is the correct legal term for a “flat” or “guaranteed” price, as opposed to an hourly estimate. An on-site estimate is required in order for The Moving Men to provide a Written Binding Estimate (it is illegal to give binding estimates over the phone) and is based on the agreed upon inventory of goods to be moved and services to be provided. A binding estimate requires an at-home consultation so that we may have an opportunity to physically evaluate and inspect the goods.

Packing/Unpacking
The hourly rate for packing and unpacking is less than our regular moving rate. You are only charged the straight hourly rate for all labor services, there is no surcharge while they are packing and/or unpacking.

Basic Disassembly/Reassembly
The services of basic disassembly and re-assembly of items such as bed frames are performed at the same hourly rate as the move. You are only charged the straight hourly rate for all labor services, there is no surcharge for disassembling or re-assembling basic items.

Moving Trucks
The hourly rate quoted will include the manpower and vehicles. All The Moving Men vehicles are custom, state-of-the-art air ride vehicles with lift gates. Our moving trucks and trailers range from 14 to 32 feet, meet all insurance requirements, and are inspected for safety regularly to make sure that your belongings, furniture, antiques, and valuable possessions are kept safe in transport.

Boxes and Packing Materials
Boxes and packing materials are charged as used. If you are packed up and ready to go, or provide your own adequate boxes and materials, you will not incur the additional expense. In the event an item, such as a glass or marble table top or glass doors, requires a cardboard crate, you will be advised of any cost, and the crate will be made on the spot. The Moving Men provides FREE TAPE.  Additionally, The Moving Men does NOT accept any goods in paper or plastic bags; all loose items, including televisions, electronics, lamps, pictures and mirrors must be boxed for safety and will not be carried loosely.

Custom Wood Crates
Art, antiques and some marble pieces may require (or you may request) a custom wood crate to be built. The crates must be designed and built in advance of the move, so please notify your project manager in advance. Also, please note wood crates are required for insured high value items (valued over $5000), such as artwork, glass, and marble.
