How much does it cost to hire movers just for the big things?

Question

It's only a couple dressers and beds, and a few tables

Answer 1

those are the most difficult items to move, the boxes are not to hard to take care of, so assume that you will be paying almost the same amount, and of course it depends where you live ETC

Answer 2

Movers have a minimum charge and then charge by the hour. An in-town move can be a couple hundred up to about 600 depending upon who you hire and the size of the city. The bigger the city, the more things cost.

Answer 3

Depends on the distance. I moved everything about 15-20 miles and it cost $220 and I tipped $80, because they had it done exactly as I asked without breaking a thing within 2 hours.

My previous experience with movers was the same distance and roughly the same amount of stuff and it took them 4 hours and they charged $600.

Answer 4

If you only have a few things, you would do better to find some friends. You usually have to pay for four hours minimum.

It will cost a lot more than buying a few pizzas for some friends and the movers are not much better than friends. Things still get damaged.

Take care,

Answer 5

You can check out U-Pack Moving, a nationwide residential moving service offered by ABF Freight System, Inc.

Our trucks are 28-feet long, but you pay only for the space you use. The smallest amount you can use is 5 linear feet, which would probably hold your items. We also have portable storage containers called ReloCubes. They are 6x7x8 and will typically hold a roomful of furnishings.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. Good luck!
