The Illinois Commerce Commission requires that local movers establish moving tariffs with them by which to charge customers on a consistent basis. Because there are so many variables (such as weather conditions, distances, number of floors or steps to be traversed, size of move, etc.) local moving charges must be computed by the hour for the movers in the crew and for the moving truck(s) being used.

Therefore, there cannot be any fixed fees, flat-rates or not-to-exceed charges for local moving in the state of Illinois. It is against the law to charge flat moving rates for local residential moves and occasionally movers and customers caught doing moves on that basis have both been fined for the violation!

HOURLY RATE

Local moving charges are based upon hourly rates. The hourly rate begins when your crew arrives on the job site and ends when you are completely moved into your new home. Additional stops in between locations are included in the total moving time--there are no extra charges for multiple stops.

In addition to the hourly rate, there is a one-time fee called a travel charge. This charge covers the mover’s costs for traveling from their facilities to your location, and back to their office once the move is complete. This charge is at the same rate as the hourly fee, and totals a one hour charge. The truck will be equipped with additional boxes and packing materials that can be provided at an extra charge, even at the last minute.

INSURANCE

Movers are not allowed by law to provide Replacement Value Coverage to their customers, only insurance companies can do that. Customers may also cover their goods with their own home-owners or renters insurance. If any insurance company is used to insure the customer's goods then the mover automatically reverts to providing only the free coverage of 30 cents per pound per article to the customer.

Please read the following sections below in order to learn more about how to pack your belongings and to understand how we calculate your estimate.

How Was your Estimate Calculated?

Our estimates are based on a Table of Measurements. We take each customer's item list and put it into our move calculator and a weight is determined based on the items entered. Once we have an estimated weight, a price is given based on the distance between your pick-up and delivery cities. Prices are determined using the 400N Household Goods Relocation Tariff Calculator. The price we give includes the following:

* Gas, taxes, tolls and mileage
* Loading and unloading
* Disassembly and reassembly of standard household items
* Basic insurance valuation of $0.60 per pound article
* 1 month free storage
* Padded moving blankets for all items
* 5 free medium boxes

Estimates can vary in price depending upon a few factors. Naperville, IL Moving Companies.

Weight: The truck that will be moving you is weighed prior to arriving at your home or pick-up location. A weight slip is given to the driver which covers the truck plus any other goods that were on it at the time. The truck then proceeds to your pick-up location where your items are loaded onto the truck. After leaving your pick-up, the truck must check back in to the weigh station where a second weight slip is given to the driver. The difference between the two slips is the weight of your shipment. Having more weight than estimate will result in payment for additional weight (if any). If less weight is determined, there is no reduction in price.

Packing Materials: These packing materials can be purchased and performed by you prior to move date or can be provided on the day of your move. Prices are charged per item use.

Storage: Our free month of storage is included for customers who elect to have their items stored in one of our secure warehouses. Please note that storage does not have lock and key access and is not necessarily in your delivery city. Customer must specify their request to receive the first month storage free at time of reservation. Failure to notify your sales person or our dispatch department of the storage need will result in customer paying for a local storage facility until such time customer calls or dispatch department to request delivery.
