At
the process of eyeing and moving to a new house can be expensive enough without
having unforeseen charges from the moving company. After your realtor inCollege Station, TX gets you a great deal on a wonderful new home, you need to
feel confident that the people you sign a contract with to move your furniture
and other belongings from the old house to the new one will not cause any problems.
Anyone
who moves to a new house should be aware of the following possible charges and
fees associated with the packing, transportation and unpacking furniture, boxes
and bins.
Fees Associated With Packing and
Unpacking
1
– Packing Service – When a moving company tells you they would be happy to help
you pack your things into sturdy boxes or crates, they do not mean that they
are volunteering for extra work. Expect to pay a fee associated with any help
in actually putting your things insecure containers.
2
– Packing Materials – If the moving company uses any boxes, packing peanuts or
pillows, shrink wrap or any other packing materials, you should expect to be
charged for all of it. Be sure to ask before packing begins whether the cost of
these things are included in the quoted price.
3
– Excessive Stairs or Tight Quarters – Movers may charge more for third floor
fetching, narrow basement stairs or situations that involve tight turns,
difficult maneuvers or the need for winches and police to lower furniture out
of upstairs windows.
4
– Extra Large, Extra Heavy or Delicate Items – Things such as sofa beds, extra
what large solid wood drawers or entertainment centers and pianos may incur
additional fees because of the extra manpower needed and care the movers have
to take with items that can be easily damaged.
5
– Taking Apart or Putting Together Furniture – If any of the furniture or
fixtures in your old home need to be taken apart before they can be removed
from the house, additional fees will be charged if the movers have to spend
their time and energy tackling this job.

Fees Associated With the Journey
1
– Extra Stops Along the Way – In most circumstances, a moving truck picks up
everything from one house and drives until it gets to the new house that your
College Station, TX realtor found for you and your family. However, if you want
the moving truck to also pick up a piece of furniture from a friend or family's
house or take delivery from a store, you will have to pay an additional fee.
2
– Wait Time – When the movers get to the new house, they want to start
unpacking right away. If you are not there for whatever reason and they have to
wait for you, you may be charged for extra time. After all, moving companies
make their money by doing as many moving jobs as possible within a selected
time period.
3
– Remote or Inaccessible Location – Choosing a home on a quaint and quiet
street or in a gated community may be an excellent choice for you and your
family. However, large moving trucks may be unable to pull up in front of the
house to unload. When movers need to park farther away from the destination and
either cart or drive the furniture and boxes with a smaller vehicle, there will
be extra charges involved.
