How a Boise move is priced
A move to Boise crosses a state line, so it is priced by weight, not by the hour. Expect a rate per pound plus a minimum space reservation, the least you pay for, much like the minimum hours on a local move. Weight above the reservation costs the same rate. The estimate is non-binding, because the final price is based on the actual weight of the shipment.
If a set price matters more, reserve an entire truck for a flat fee. That price is binding, with guaranteed pickup and delivery. Stairs or an elevator at delivery do not add to it.
After pickup the loaded shipment is weighed, and you receive the net weight and the scale ticket. The estimate starts with a free on-site inspection of the home.
Delivery window
Delivery time window: up to 30 days (company policy). Average delivery time window: 7 to 14 days, counted from your earliest available delivery date.
We count from your earliest available date so the truck does not reach Boise before you can receive it.
What can be added at delivery
At the Boise end of a weight-based move, the driver can charge for extra flights of stairs after the first, a carry longer than 100 feet, elevator use, and a shuttle when the big truck cannot get close.
What the rate includes
You do not pay extra for mileage, taxes or tolls, or for weekend dates. Door-to-door labor is in it too: loading, unloading, taking furniture apart and putting it back, labeling and the inventory. Moving blankets and tape are free; other packing supplies are charged as used. Basic valuation at $0.60 per pound per article is included; full value protection is available from Baker International (account ID 17421). Not in the base rate: packing (available per pound) and unpacking.
Payment and discounts
Payment is split, 50% when we load and 50% when we deliver in Boise. Payment: Cash, Money Order, Visa, or Mastercard (3% transaction fee applies for card payments). A card payment for the delivery half is due one day before the truck arrives. Returning customers and real-estate-agent referrals get 7% off, and friend referrals 5%.
