Cost Factors
Understanding the main cost drivers helps you read your estimate and find ways to save. See how pricing works for the full breakdown.
The number of miles between your pickup and delivery — the single biggest factor on a long-distance move.
Full or partial packing, boxes, and materials add to the total but save you time and protect your items.
Movers price by how much space your belongings take on the truck. Our calculator estimates this from your home size or your item list (about 7 lbs per cubic foot).
If your dates don’t line up, storage adds a cost — though Quick Ship includes 30 days of free storage on qualifying moves.
Shipping a car or motorcycle alongside your household goods.
Summer and month-end dates cost more; stairs, long carries, and elevator or permit requirements can add fees.
