Idaho weather and move timing
Winter lows in Idaho are typically below freezing statewide, so winter moves should plan for icy driveways and walkways. Source: NOAA NCEI State Climate Summary: Idaho.
If your dates fall in those months, leave some room around the delivery window and keep the path from the street to the door clear.
Every piece of furniture is fully wrapped and protected with moving blankets and tape, at no extra charge.
Parking and access in Idaho Falls and Caldwell
Idaho Falls enforces a snow removal parking ordinance from November 15 through March 15; during a declared snow event, cars on the street may be cited or relocated. Source: City of Idaho Falls: Snow Removal Parking Ordinance Begins Nov. 15.
Caldwell allows trucks in residential areas for normal deliveries or moving household goods: up to 30 minutes while actively loading or unloading, and up to 72 hours for large moving trucks while actively moving a residence. Source: Caldwell City Code 09-07-11.
If the new home is in a building or HOA community, ask them about delivery hours and elevator reservations and let us know.
How an Idaho move is priced
A move to Idaho crosses a state line, so it is priced by weight, not by the hour. The quote sets a rate per pound and a minimum space reservation for your shipment. If the shipment runs heavier, the rate does not go up. The estimate is non-binding, because the final price is based on the actual weight of the shipment.
The fixed-price option is a flat fee for reserving an entire truck. It is binding and comes with guaranteed pickup and delivery. Stairs or an elevator at delivery do not add to it.
After loading you get the scale ticket and the net weight. The estimate starts with a free on-site inspection of the home.
Delivery window to Idaho
Delivery time window: up to 30 days (company policy). Average delivery time window: 7 to 14 days, counted from your earliest available delivery date.
Tell us the first day someone can let the crew in at the Idaho address; that is where the count begins. A reserved truck gives fixed dates if you need them.
Charges that can apply at delivery
Access at the new Idaho address can add charges on a weight-based move: 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. Tell us about the address early so they are planned, not discovered.
What you pay for, and what is extra
You do not pay extra for mileage, taxes or tolls, or for weekend dates. Loading, unloading, and furniture disassembly and reassembly are included, as are labeling and an inventory list. Blankets and tape cost nothing extra, and other supplies are billed as used. Every article carries basic valuation at $0.60 per pound; for more, see Baker International (account ID 17421). Not in the base rate: packing (available per pound) and unpacking.
How payment works
You pay 50% at pickup and 50% at delivery. 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. A friend referral takes 5% off; returning customers and agent referrals get 7%.
