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.
- 5.) 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.

the moving company of your choice to move
your life’s assets, to your new home
in the future! We are ready to serve you
