Moving Advice
By: Idan Lavi
A local move, means a shipment of goods
where the origin and destination are within the same state and less than 100
miles apart.
Moves that are still within the same state but are more than 99 miles from
origin to destination are considered intrastate moves and moves where goods
travel across state lines are referred to as interstate moves.
New York City and State Moving Company Quotes
Local moving companies in New York City charge for completing local moving
on an hourly rate and estimated time basis and you may be able to get the
local moving company's hourly rate by phone.
The moving company will still want to send out a representative to get the
specific details of your moving requirements so an estimate of how long the
move will take can be provided. This way, you'll have a good idea of the
total cost and can plan your budget accordingly.
How much packing the Movers will handle for you, any access obstacles and
the distance from your door to where the moving van can be safely parked for
loading all have an effect on the cost of your move.
The estimate you receive from the moving company should be shown in
sufficient detail so you can see totals for labor, vehicles, packing, moving
valuation or insurance.
The stated total may or may not be guaranteed but should clearly state if
the cost is firm and if not how much it might deviate and what could cause a
variation. It's very helpful to know your final destination and be clear on
what the movers have to move and pack and also let them know about any
potential obstacles at the destination that could impact your estimate.
If the local mover's estimate can't be guaranteed, it will be noted as
subject to change and won't be binding on the mover. While you can compare
estimates between local NYC movers, don't base your selection on price
alone.
Since you're moving locally, you should check with friends and neighbors or
co-workers to see if they've had experience with the local movers you're
considering.
Ask the local moving company you're considering for references, but keep in
mind that they won't want you to contact customers who experienced serious
problems that they couldn't resolve. Still, you should check with at least 3
references if you can get them from the local moving company.
