A local move is a move that takes place within a 100 mile radius and stays
within the state of origin. Many factors determine the cost of a local move.
Estimates are free and there is no obligation. We advise that you obtain a
written estimate from several movers ahead of time. A written estimate is
binding, phone estimates and rate quotations are not.
The cost for local moves is based on the number of movers, the time it takes
to move your belongings and the drive time between your old and new residence.
The chart below will help you get an idea of how many hours and movers it may
take for your move.
Relocating employees today requires a knowledge beyond that used in
the one-time, individual, contracted move. With companies looking to control
costs of business now more than ever, employee relocation expenses stand out
an an obvious cost cutting target. While most companies do not choose to eliminate
this expense altogether, moving expenses are under a microscope and techniques
to control these costs are constantly being sought.
No two accounts are exactly the same, which is why we push ourselves to stay
in the forefront of changes in the industry. There is no "cookie cutter" pattern
for working with companies in designing a relocation program. By understanding
this, West Coast Van Lines brings to the table something more for every account.
A long distance move is a move that is greater than 100 miles from the
origin and/or the move crosses a state line. Two factors determine the major
portion of the cost of your move. They are the distance you are moving and the
weight of your shipment.
Most of us probably don't know the exact total weight of our belongings. In
order to determine an approximate weight of your shipment, you can use the table
below.
Besides the transportation charges, additional factors that will affect
the price of your move include:
Packing by the Moving Company
Accessorial charges such as a flight of stairs, elevators, excessively long
carry, the need to use a small shuttle vehicle, etc
Your choice of additional valuation for the move
The need for storage in transit while you are getting settled in your new
location
West Coast Van Lines provides an extensive combination of experience,
service and assistance to families preparing for an international relocation,
resulting in a personalized, worry-free experience.
Our trained personnel's expertise in preparing and loading your shipment for
transit saves you both time and money. We enjoy long standing working
relationships with agents at destinations the world over, helping to ensure an
efficient, professional delivery.
The cost of an international move is determined by the volume of your shipment,
which is measured by either cubic feet or weight, depending on the final
destination of your international move. Factors which will affect the total cost
of your international move include: packing services for your belongings, your
choice of cargo insurance while your shipment is in transport, whether or not
you will need any storage services, an exclusive container for your shipment or
the consolidation of your smaller shipment with other overseas customer's
shipments.
