FAQ

How Much Should I Tip My Movers?

We recommend tipping between 15% and 20% of the total cost of the move, to be divided up between your entire moving team.

Don't forget the driver, either! In the moving industry, tipping is usually accepted and expected. While there are some rare companies that don't accept a gratuity, it's a good idea to have your wallet at the ready just in case.

How Much Will a Carlsbad Move Cost Me?

A Carlsbad move can cost you anywhere from $150 to $7500 and beyond. It all comes down to how much you’re moving, and how far you’re traveling.

Keep in mind, local movers charge per mover, per hour (with about 2 movers per room), and long distance movers charge by weight (or volume) and miles.

What is a Binding Estimate?

In the moving industry, there are three types of estimates: binding, non-binding, and non-binding, not-too-exceed. When you get a binding estimate, it means you’re getting a flat rate.

The amount on your quote is the amount you’ll pay. Binding estimates are a good sign you’re dealing with a reputable mover. Non-binding estimates can be adjusted before, during and after a move, but non-binding, not-to-exceed estimates can only be adjusted downwards from your initial price.

Do I Need Moving Insurance?

It's always a good idea to get insurance, and in the interest of being responsible, we're not going to tell you to skip it. However, if you're feeling risky and you're only moving a couple blocks (without anything fragile thrown in the mix), you may be able to get away with the basic coverage offered by your movers.

What is Moving Labor?

Moving labor is a helpful service you can book if you're planning on DIYing most of your move.

Rather than a full-service moving team, moving labor can show up, help with packing, and help with the heavy lifting.

Everything else will be up to you, unless you book a moving labor team to meet you at your destination, too.
