If the pandemic has taught us anything it’s that we can do our jobs from anywhere. Well, most of us can. And it is this thinking that has driven homeowners to cash out of the bigger cities and take up residence in cheaper outlying areas. But moving isn’t all rainbows and sunshine. There are some hidden costs to hiring a mover. Here are some fees to inquire about with your moving company:
- fuel surcharge
- storage fees
- weight overages
- specialty packing
- crating fragile items
- destination surcharge
- stair carry or elevator fees
Here are some things to consider:
- moving is more affordable in the middle of the week and middle of the month
- the longer the distance the more your move will cost
- larger moves are more expensive
- summer pricing is typically higher because the demand is greater
