With corporate backing from Grupo Cinco LogísticosThe price of a move does not depend only on distance. Volume, accessibility, packaging, required personnel and special services change the scope of each operation. The best decision usually arises from revising the actual conditions of the move and not from applying a generic rule to all cases.
What factors influence the price
A responsible quote starts with information about the inventory. Two apartments of the same size may require very different operations if one has a load elevator and the other only stairs, or if there are heavy parts, glass, works of art or furniture that have to be dismantled. Also influence the distance, number of trips, loading and unloading time, restrictions of the building and the type of protection requested.
Why a quote only by phone can get short
To reduce this uncertainty, we have to send photos or a video from the inventory, address or area of origin and destination, floors, elevators, an estimated date and a list of special items. The company can estimate better vehicles, personnel and materials with this information.
Services that can change the budget
The complete packaging, boxes, disarm and arms of furniture, temporary storage, wooden boxes, handling of heavy parts and international moves add tasks and materials. Do not necessarily have to hire everything: the important thing is that the quote details what's included and what's to be added as an additional service.
How to compare two quotes
Do not just compare the total. Check range, number of personnel, type of vehicle, materials, times, conditions of access and responsibilities. A seemingly more economic proposal can end up with more costs if you omits elements that are later necessary.
How to get a more precise quote
Prepare a basic inventory per room, take photographs of large furniture and sensitive items, confirm both points and report any restrictions before listed. The more clear information, the lower the difference between estimate and actual operation.
