LOCAL MOVES
All moves less than 35 miles from origin to final delivery address are considered local and based on hourly rate with 3-hour minimum charge and 15 minute increment charge policy. We service local moves in Boston. Hourly rates vary depending on a crew size and calendar date (check our pricing page). There is an additional equipment fee that includes a fully equipped truck (if required) with dollies, tools, moving pads and equipment in order to protect your furniture.
Local South Carolina Moves
{{basicsettings.company_name}} carries a limited moving license for the Boston. The license allows moves to be performed in Boston If the move originates in Boston and crosses state lines, the move is then categorized as an interstate move and regulated by the Justice Department. Therefore, any move originating in other counties of Boston and crossing state lines, can be performed without restrictions.
How local moves are charged:
Move time starts once movers arrive at your origin address and ends when movers finish unloading at the destination address.
{{basicsettings.company_name}} Movers reserve the right:
- To choose the number of movers needed for each job, depending on our current schedule, availability, weather conditions etc., while meeting the expectations of the customer.
- To send additional men and/or truck, if we anticipate your job will require additional time or services.
**Additional charges will apply accordingly (check our pricing page). Please note, that additional movers will not significantly change your final bill, as the move itself proceeds more efficiently with additional movers.
Example (2 Bedroom Apartment with Living Room):
2 movers x 4-5 hrs. (@$90/hr.) = $360 – $450
3 movers x 3-3.5 hrs. (@135/hr.) = $405-$472
4 movers x 2.25-2.75 hrs. (@$180/hr.) = 405-$495

The confirmation email will also provide you with important information regarding your move and {{basicsettings.company_name}} policies. Our main purpose is providing you with exceptional customer service. Providing you with as many options as you need and forming the best plan for success on your move day.
What does your move start time mean?
If you have scheduled a morning appointment for 9am or 10am then your moving crew should arrive at the scheduled time (sometimes they are a few minutes early or late depending on weather or traffic). You will receive a phone call from your Crew Leader once they are 15 minutes from your origin location.
The most common reason for additional time to estimated hours is, incomplete information provided by a customer.
Your confirmation email asks you double check your inventory list and let us know if there are any changes, 3 days prior to your move. We also need to know if any item(s) require significant disassembly, fitness equipment, executive desks, entertainment centers, etc.
If {{basicsettings.company_name}} movers arrive to a move and find they are now being asked to move 4 extra pieces of furniture and 15 additional boxes, this will not only add to the time needed, but can also add to the number of trucks needed for a move. If a wall unit has dozens of pieces of hardware and requires 40 minutes of disassembly, the movers will fall behind schedule. Every extra item or service takes time, and while we are happy to assist you with whatever you need, we do ask that you provide us with that information beforehand, so we can provide you with the service you deserve.

For local moves, you must pay in full at completion of your job. Unless otherwise arranged, payment for labor only, local and long distance moves is due in full at the end of the job by cash or check. We accept Credit Card Payments (VISA/MC/DISCOVER/AMEX) for any move less than $2,500.
