Local Moving Company Fees

Let's look at fees.

Intrastate/Local Moving Company Fees
Intrastate movers charge two different ways:

* Hourly rate. This may include a minimum hour amount such as two or three hours. It may also include a "one-time tip" charge, which is the cost for sending staff to your house for the initial pick-up. Also check with the company for any additional charges that may apply.

* A flat rate. This includes the items to be moved and any other circumstances surrounding the move and should address any stairs, parking, carrying charges, etc. Make sure you read the contract as additional charges may apply if you arrive late the day of the move or move-in or if there are additional items that were not included in the original shipping list. Also, if your stuff has to be stored overnight, there may be an additional fee. Usually, this can be negotiated if you inquire before you sign the contract.
