What Types of Services do Local Movers Provide?
The following are some of the types of services that local movers can provide you with:
- Standard move: Individuals will pack their own boxes before movers arrive to the location. The movers will then load and unload the truck of the boxes into the new location.
- Packing: Movers can supply boxes to pack items and the labor to pack each item up. Fees for the types of boxes and inside packaging will depend on the items being packed. This can range anywhere from $5 to $20 per box.
- Full-service move: All aspects of the move will be provided by the local mover. This includes packing, loading, transporting, unloading, and even unpacking of items.
- Storage: A local moving company may offer reduced pricing for storage if bundled with local moving services.
- Specialty moving: Oversized and delicate items require special handling. As technical expertise may be required, there may be additional charges.
