Breakdown of charges for long distance moving:
Avi Moving & Trucking, Inc. always tries to
offer our customers the best cost for their move. We offer a
guaranteed pick-up date and provide a specific time-frame
for your items to be delivered.
Mainly all
Long-Distance moving companies base their costs on the
following fundamental areas:
-
Weight of your items
- Unlike
local moving, long-distance charges are generally based
on the cubic volume (“cubic feet”) and the weight of the
goods being transported. Once the movers complete the
loading of the items they will weigh everything to
obtain the weight of the items or they will add-up the
amount of cubic feet for each item. We at Avi Moving &
Trucking, Inc., base our long-distance moves solely on
the cubic feet of the items.
-
Distance
-
Depending on the distance of the
move, the cubic feet rates vary from $3.00-$6.50. Based
on the inventory provided by the customer, our
long-distance specialists will determine the cubic feet
and the total cost for the transporting of the customers
shipment. Sometimes, a moving specialist may even offer
a discounted rate to the customer if the start or the
end point of the move is a place in which the moving
company ships to on a regular basis.
-
Packing
Materials -
Any and all
packing materials and boxes used for the customer’s
items are charged based on our price list on the billing
of lading. If the customer has packed and wrapped and is
ready to move, the cost of materials will not be
incurred as an additional expense. If there is an event
in which marble tops or glass products requires wrapping
or cardboard crating, the foreman of the move will
advise the customer of the cost and will handle the
wrapping or crating of the items. Avi Moving & Trucking
only charges our clients for actual materials used for
their move. A customer may put delicates, clothing and
other household beddings in plastic bags, but placing
these items in boxes is better for transporting items
long distance. Avi Moving & Trucking will not be
responsible for all loose items, including televisions,
electronics, lamps, pictures and mirrors that have not
been boxed safely and our company will not carry these
items loose.
-
Valuation/Insurance
-
This is a basic fee to cover your belongings in case of
any damage that occurs during your move. Although, we
ensure the very best care will be taken when handling
your valuables, accidental damage is a situation that
may occur given the nature of the moving business. We
encourage you to visit our insurance/valuation section
in our moving, residential and commercial moving
sections to find out about coverage.
-
Additional
Charges/Services -
It is important for your foreman on your move to be
aware of anything that might distract the delivery. This
includes: narrow/dirt/poorly paved roads, bridges or
anything that might prevent a tractor-trailer from
pulling up in front of the delivery destination. There
may also be difficulty with long carriers (over 75 ft.
from where the truck is parking and the door, to the
destination) or difficult delivery conditions. These
obstacles may increase the cost of the customers move.
Any other condition or anything that may interfere with
“front door” or “front entrance” delivery, please bring
any concerns and information to the attention of the
foreman on the move. Some additional charges that may
acquire on a long-distance move, as an example are: cost
of fuel and worker’s compensation (which varies from
state-to-state).

Tips
and facts for long distance moving:
Here are a few
suggestions to ensure a good long-distance moving
experience:
-
If a customer would like
to obtain a proper estimate, than make sure that all
additional services required, insurance requested and
extra charges are added to the estimate. This helps to
compare with other moving companies estimates. At Avi
Moving & Trucking, we do not have any hidden charges. We
are upfront with all details and pricing prior to
booking a move with our company.
-
Other companies will
price their long-distance moving by the weight of the
shipment (including the weight of the truck). This
option is very possible to conclude a proper estimated
price for the shipment. But, by using the “cubic feet”
to calculate the total of each item, it benefits in the
moving costs. The price may exceed more than what the
customer intended to pay by weighing
the shipment then it would to charge the based on the
cubic feet.
-
Every potential customer
should feel free to obtaining a reliable recommendation
through objective sources. By looking into such places
as the Better Business Bureau, anyone can get
information regarding the companies they have obtained
estimates from.
-
Of course, asking a
co-worker or friend to recommend a company is always a
plus. Avi Moving & Trucking is proud to say that a large
percent of our new customers come from satisfied past
customers.
-
Always expect estimates to be within an area of the
price from each other. Avi Moving & Trucking, Inc.
always within 10% of the actual cost of the completed
move.

Payment options:
When moving
long-distance, the payments are different then from local
area moving. There is a minimum payment of 50% of the total
cost of the move, upon the pickup of the shipment. The
remaining 50% of the balance should be paid upon delivery of
the items. We accept cash, cashier’s check, money orders,
Visa, MasterCard and American Express upon the
pickup of the items. Credit cards and personal
checks are not accepted upon the
delivery of the shipment. Cash, cashier’s check or
money order is the only acceptable forms of
payment for the delivery. If a customer
requests to be charged for the full amount via credit card,
the entire amount must be paid upon
pickup. When paying by credit card, the card and
cardholder must either be present or send
an authorization letter with an
original signature and a copy of a photo
I.D., allowing the moving company to charge the
credit card for the payment of the moving. Credit card
payments are not accepted over
the phone.
Moving long distance is
definitely NOT the same as moving local.
There are always other choices and preparations that have to
be made before making that big move. At Avi Moving &
Trucking, we like to make those choices and preparations a
bit easier for the customer. We leave room for the customer
to pay more attention to the personal details of their move
and to be more relaxed and enthusiastic for their upcoming
relocation.
