How is the cost of your move calculated?

The distance between San Francisco and Portland is approximately 634 miles. This leaves a lot of room for things to go wrong. Luckily, AVL will ensure that mistakes are avoided, and things go smoothly. Here are a few things that impact the cost of your move.

1. The Weight of Your Items: If you’ve been thinking about donating some clothes to charity or gifting things you no longer use to family and friends, now is an excellent time. Spend a week decluttering your space and getting rid of the extra stuff. Downsizing and only taking precisely what you need with you to Portland will save you money during the move.
2. Your Specific Moving Needs: There are two types of moves. For some, moving means hiring a moving company to lift their items into a moving truck, drive it to the new location and unload it all at the front door. For others, the moving company is responsible for packing and unpacking the household goods, driving them cross country, placing them in the correct rooms, and cleaning the old place. With the latter example, a full-service move, the customer should expect to pay more.
3. Hard-to-Move Items: Hot tubs, grand pianos, artifacts, and expensive art pieces are considered specialty items. Since these items require special handling and care, you can expect an upcharge on your bill for moving these kinds of items. Be smart and hire an experiment Ed company like AVL to avoid damages.
