Plan the delivery date with the season in mind, and have utilities on at the new home before the truck arrives.

How a North Dakota move is priced
A move to North Dakota 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: the scale sets the final number.
You can also reserve an entire truck at 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 to North Dakota
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 North Dakota address; that is where the count begins.
Charges that can apply at delivery
On a weight-based move, a few services can be charged at delivery when the North Dakota home needs them: stairs past the first flight, a walk of more than 100 feet, an elevator, or a shuttle to a smaller truck. Tell us about the address early so they are planned, not discovered.
Included in the per-pound rate
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. 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). Packing service can be added per pound; unpacking at the new home is not included.
Payment and discounts
Payment is split, 50% when we load and 50% when we deliver in North Dakota. 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. Discounts: 7% for returning customers and agent referrals, 5% for friend referrals.
