Other Charges
In addition to our rates for moving, disposal and other services, there are a few other potential charges you should know about. The charges below are per occurence only, and will only be applied to your moving bill in the event one is needed.
Pianos & excessively bulky/heavy items
We charge an extra fee on top of our normal hourly rate for pianos and other excessively bulky or heavy items such as sub-zero refrigerators and safes. For items that are part of a larger move we have an additional $100 per item. If the piano or other large item is the only thing being moved we typically offer a flat rate. The flat rates are based on the particulars of the move and do not include the extra fee mentioned above.
Hoists
On occasion when items can't fit up a stairway, a hoist is another possible option. This involves adequately wrapping the furniture, then fitting straps by which we pull the item up to a window or balcony. Sometimes it is not safe to hoist an item. We will never do a hoist in rain. We can always reschedule the hoist for better weather. If we determine that the structure of the building is unsound in some way we will not do a hoist. For instance, if a balcony railing is rotted we will not proceed. Also, if there is a tree or electrical wires in the way or the window we need to use requires carpentry to remove it that will also stop a hoist. For such hoists we charge $50 for the first item and $25 for each subsequent item, plus the time it takes to perform the hoist.
After-hours move
Between the hours of 7 PM and 6 AM we charge overtime rates. Any work that is done during those hours is subject to a $10 per hour/per mover charge. For instance, if your job is scheduled to start at 5 PM and has three movers assigned to it you would be charged $80 per hour from 5 PM to 7 PM and $90 per hour for any time after 7 PM that the movers work. The availability of after hours service is subject to both availability and safety.
Overnight Storage
If you need to have goods loaded on one day, but delivered on another we offer overnight storage at a cost of $200 per night/per truck, and is based upon availability. This can be helpful if you have to be out on the 31st but can't move in on the 1st. Often times the closing dates for houses or condos necessitate a day or two's worth of on-truck storage. The truck(s) are stored at our facility in Tampa and will be both locked and tagged with tamper-proof lock mechanisms.
Other Services
We also offer additional services to help you get settled in after your move, or if you are preparing to sell a home. From picture hanging to disposal, we're here to help you get from where you are to where you're going. Give us a call or contact us today to inquire about how we can help.
Impracticable Moves
If we deem it to be unsafe to pick up or deliver goods due to inadequate or unsafe roads, poor building structure, overhead obstructions, narrow gates, etc, we will either make ourselves available at a pick up point or deliver to a place as near to the destination as we deem safe. If either of these options are unacceptable to the customer, we may place the cargo or any part of it that is not reasonably possible to deliver, in storage at the nearest available storage facility. Our normal transportation charges apply for this service and our liability will end when the cargo is unloaded at the warehouse or storage facility and will be considered delivered. We are not responsible for any fees incurred at the storage facility or warehouse. If the customer requests that we use smaller equipment and/or provide extra labor to get the cargo where it needs to go the customer is responsible for additional charges such as rental fees, labor and travel. These rules are set up for both the safety and well being of our movers and our trucks as well as the customer and his or her goods.
