Local


A local move is a move that takes place within a 35 mile radius and stays with the state of Washington. Several factors determine the cost of a local move. Most of those factors are
within your control.

  • Preparation:
    How ready are you when the movers arrive?
    Are your belongings packed in stackable boxes?
  • Access:
    Can the truck park close to your house?
    What can we do to make access better?
  • Volume:
    Have you eliminated unwanted items?
    Any excessive heavy, awkward, or fragile items?

HELP-U-MOVE is a full-service moving and storage company. You can walk out the door; leave the breakfast dishes on the table and we can take it from there. Or, you can be packed, prepared and ready to go and we can simply load the truck and unload at your new
home. Based on this information, we can schedule the right equipment and number of movers to get the job done the way you want it.

The cost of local moves is based on the number of movers, the time it takes to move your belongings and the drive time to and from our location. For a free estimate, Call Us.

Long Distance

A long distance move is a move that is greater than 35 miles from your origin. Two factors determine the largest portion of the cost of your move. They are the distance of your move and the weight of your shipment.

Instead of consolidating your shipment with several other customers shipment HELP-U-MOVE moves one shipment at a time. This method of shipment allows you to receive better service and guaranteed pickup and delivery dates and time.

Most of us probably don’t know the exact total weight of our belongings. To determine an approximate weight of your shipment, you can use the table below. When you fill out our online estimate form or call HELP-U-MOVE, we will visit with you at your home, estimate your weight and give you moving tips. We will be unable to determine the exact weight of your shipment until your moving day. You can join us at the weigh station while we weigh the truck prior to and after loading of your shipment. The difference between those two weights is the weight of your shipment.

Additional factors that could affect the cost of your move:

  • Packing and materials provide by HELP-U-MOVE.
  • Additional Valuation Protection.
  • Storage in transit.
  • Additional charges for elevators, excessive long carries use of shuttle vehicle, and flight of stairs
