How Much Should You Pay For Your Movers
How much should you pay for your Vancouver movers?
Moving rates can vary considerably depending on the kind of moving service you require. Moving can be residential, commercial, long distance or local in nature.
Local Residential Moving rates
If you are moving locally, there are two basic rates structure, by the hour or flat rate. By the hour is recommended if you have nice and valuable belongings. Flat rate is OK for inexpensive goods where the damage might not be a concern since for a flat rate move the movers will be less careful in order to save time. Some kinds of moves however are suited for the flat rate scheme, vehicle shipping or long distance movers for example.
The reason for this is that the movers get paid by the hour on an hourly move and by the job on a flat rate move. They will tend to be more careful when paid by the hour because they can take their time, on a flat rate move they are encouraged by the company to work faster and also gain more as an added bonus. The drawback is that they sometimes hurry up and get a little negligent resulting in occasional damages.
By the hour rates vary between $50-$100 for 2 man and a truck, expect to pay about 30% more per extra men. Flat rate moves are negotiable but usually loosely based on the company’s average hourly rates and estimated move duration.
Conclusively, it is usually better for both the moving companies and the client to opt for the per hour option since flat rate can often result in damages to the furniture, especially on hiring local Vancouver Moving Company
