How Much Will My Move Cost?



The moving company estimates your move costs by figuring the size of your possessions. They do that with a Table of Measurements, or 'Cube' Sheet, a copy of which should we be provided to you when you get your estimate. Below, estimate the items you will need moved. When you're done, your estimated move weight will be generated. You will then use that to determine what you might pay a moving company. Beware: different companies have different methods for their estimates, so be sure to ask. This is merely intended as a starting point in your research; the actual cost you will pay will be different depending on the moving company and your individual circumstances.
