Maine weather and move timing
Maine's snow season begins between late October and early December and ends in April or sometimes May, a long window for winter move planning. Source: NOAA NCEI State Climate Summary: Maine.
In Maine, nor'easters generally cause more disruption than any other type of extreme weather, worth keeping in mind for cold season moves. Source: NOAA NCEI State Climate Summary: Maine.
Plan the delivery date with the season in mind, and have utilities on at the new home before the truck arrives.
Every piece of furniture is fully wrapped and protected with moving blankets and tape, at no extra charge.
Parking and access in Portland
In Portland, Maine, parking spaces can be reserved for moving vans by purchasing an On-Street Occupancy Permit. Source: City of Portland, ME: Parking Permits.
Portland snow parking bans go into effect at 10:00 PM and continue until 6:00 AM the following morning, so schedule unloading around declared bans. Source: City of Portland, ME: Parking Bans.
Check the street and building rules at the new address before move day; anything we know ahead goes on the plan.
How a Maine move is priced
A move to Maine 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. Weight above the reservation costs the same rate. This estimate is non-binding; your invoice reflects what the loaded shipment really weighs.
If a set price matters more, reserve an entire truck for a flat fee. It is binding and comes with guaranteed pickup and delivery. No weight limit applies, and access at the Maine end does not change the price.
After loading you get the scale ticket and the net weight. A free on-site inspection gives the most accurate estimate.
Delivery window to Maine
Delivery time window: up to 30 days (company policy). Average delivery time window: 7 to 14 days, counted from your earliest available delivery date.
Pick that date carefully: it is the first day the Maine home can take the shipment. Plan your own travel so someone is there from that date on.
Delivery-day extras on a weight-based move
Four delivery-side services may apply on a weight-based move: stairs past the first flight, a walk of more than 100 feet, an elevator, or a shuttle to a smaller truck. We note the likely ones on your estimate.
What you pay for, and what is extra
You do not pay extra for mileage, taxes or tolls, or for weekend dates. Loading and unloading, disassembly and reassembly, and a labeled inventory of every item are part of it too. We bring blankets and tape at no charge; other materials are charged 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
The first half is due at pickup and the second at delivery. Payment: Cash, Money Order, Visa, or Mastercard (3% transaction fee applies for card payments). Card balances are paid one day before delivery. Returning customers save 7%, as do agent referrals; friend referrals save 5%.
