Pricing FAQs

Why do movers charge hourly for local moves?+

Because the time is the cost. Hourly billing is fairer than flat rates for local work — you aren't paying a padded number to cover worst-case. We give you a realistic time estimate and most moves land within an hour of it.

What makes a move cost more than estimated?+

Unpacked boxes on move day, items that weren't on the inventory, third-floor walk-ups, long carries from a distant parking spot, and heavy specialty items (pianos, safes). Tell us about all of them up front and the estimate will be accurate.

Is it cheaper to move on a weekday?+

Yes — Tuesday through Thursday and mid-month dates are easier to book and sometimes discounted. Saturdays and the last three days of the month are the most expensive and fill up weeks ahead.

How do your prices compare to Two Men and a Truck or a van line?+

National franchises in Bentonville typically charge $135–$200+ per hour for similar crews, and van lines price long-distance by weight with 7–21 day delivery windows. We're an independent local company with lower overhead, dedicated trucks and same- or next-day long-distance delivery.

Does the price include tax?+

Moving services aren't subject to Arkansas sales tax. Our quotes are what you pay.
