Local Moves

Waterbury Moving and Storage defines local moving as any move performed within the state of Vermont. All local moves are priced based on an hourly rate for staff and trucks. Hours are calculated from time our trucks leave our warehouse, to time of return to either our Waterbury or Ludlow facility. There is a 2 hour minimum for all local moves. Assuming no access problems such as very narrow roads, driveway access, and multiple stairs or unusual items, as a rough estimate figure 1 hour to 1.5 hours per room (30 to 45 minutes to load and the same to unload) plus driving time to the new location. Our hourly rates include staff and trucks.

We will provide any type of service for your local move. All additional services will be billed according to these hourly rates. Packing, crating, unpacking, disassembly/reassembly of any item, are all included in our hourly rate. Supplies used by our professionals will be added to the final bill. Please complete our local move estimate form and we will respond with a cost estimate for your move.

Money Saving Tips for Your Local Move

Remember, your local move will be based on an hourly rate. A few things that will help reduce your cost are:

• Packing. Mover’s cartons are the best. Small cartons from liquor stores are good but they will increase the time spent loading and unloading. We have plenty of recycled material at half the price as new cartons. Have all cartons ready to go for when the movers show up. Write on the sides of the boxes as well as the top. This will help when the boxes are stacked at delivery. You will know what is in the bottom box without having to pick up all the ones on top.
• Disassembly/Reassembly. If you have the capability to take apart beds, tables, cribs, please go ahead and do it. You could save yourself a half hour.
• Upstairs/Downstairs. If you feel that all your items are packed and ready to be shipped. Feel free to bring anything upstairs or downstairs. Items /cartons on the ground floor make it very easy for our movers to use hand trucks to carry several items in one trip.
• Overtime . Waterbury Moving pays all employees overtime rates on weekends and holidays and unfortunately we must pass on these overtime charges to its clients.
