What will it COST??
This is the first question most people ask. The only way to get an accurate answer is to have a trained, professional Atlas consultant come to your home for a free, yes free, no obligation pre – move survey and cost estimate.
The consultant will discuss your specific needs (including scheduling and budget) and will also do a comprehensive room by room survey of items to be moved.
The cost for a long distance move is based on the actual scaled weight of your shipment and the distance it’s traveling. This is expressed as dollars per hundredweight (cwt). Your moving consultant will provide you with a written proposal that will clearly detail all charges.
The charges will be broken down into a number of categories including transportation, city service charges, ferry or remote surcharges (if applicable) fuel surcharge, replacement cargo protection plus the cost of any additional services you require including carton packing, crating, third party services like appliance disconnects and or reconnects, automobile transports, pet shipping, or other service options. Taxes will be shown as a separate line item.
On the day of the estimate make sure that the sales consultant is able to view all items that are to be relocated.
Saving Money.
One of the best ways to save monies when moving is to dispose of furniture and other items that you no longer need. By reducing the weight, you reduce your overall relocation costs. Consider holding a garage sale or donating goods to charities.
