How long before my move should I schedule an in-home estimate?
Its always better to plan ahead, but we typically recommend scheduling an estimate 2-4 weeks before your moving date. Its always ok to plan months in advance, even if you don't have a specific date in mind for the move. Also, if you're in a time crunch of just a few days, we will do our best to fit you in!
What occurs during the Virtual Estimate?
Five College Movers will gather information about your move and answer any questions you may have about the moving process. From there, Five College Movers will formulate a moving plan and cost estimate based on the specifics of your move. A moving estimate will be emailed within a few hours of the appointment, along with our License/Insurance information and some general Moving Tips.
How are estimates and moving charges calculated?
Local Moves (within 150 miles of WMass) are conducted on an hourly basis, based on the number of movers, trucks, etc. used to complete the move. Charges for moves over 150 miles in distance are based on either the weight of the load or a flat rate, plus any additional requested services.
