Do Moving Companies Charge by Weight or Volume?

Movers Charge by Weight or Volume Every moving company is different and has its own method of calculating costs, which is why it is so important to make sure you are choosing the right one. Most moving companies don’t charge by weight or volume exclusively, unless there is freight shipping involved in the move, in which case, both weight and volume would come into play in determining the cost of the move.

In most cases, moving companies attempt to assess the amount of time and manpower that will be necessary to complete the move. Based on that assessment, they then determine a cost to quote the customer. Many customers choose to get multiple moving quotes over the phone. Unfortunately, it is practically impossible to accurately assess the scope of a move with a single phone call. Quotes given on-site tend to be much more accurate. Be wary of any moving company that won’t provide an on-site quote for free. These companies tend to inundate their customers with hidden charges, causing your move to go way over budget.

However, if you choose Atlantic Relocation Systems as your mover, you won’t have to deal with any of these headaches. That’s because our price quotes are performed on-site and include a written not-to-exceed price, so you won’t be hit with any unpleasant surprises on your final bill.
