Most moving companies quote you hourly — which sounds fine until the truck shows up late, the crew takes "breaks," and your 3-hour move becomes a 6-hour bill.

Here's what to ask any mover before booking:

1. Is this a flat rate or hourly? Flat rate = no surprises.

2. What's included in the base price? (truck, fuel, basic equipment)

3. What triggers overage charges? Get it in writing.

4. How many movers are actually coming? A "2-man crew" should mean 2 people, not 1.5.

At Boxed Up Movers, we only do flat-rate local moves — $349 gets you a 2-man crew, truck, and up to 3 hours of labor. No hourly clock, no guessing game.
