How a San Diego move is priced
San Diego is inside California, so the move is priced by weight under our California rates, not as an interstate move. The San Diego area rate is $1.10 per pound with a minimum space reservation of 3,500 lb, and delivery is up to 7 business days. If you reserve 5,000 lb, delivery is next day. Within California there is no extra charge for stairs, elevators, a long carry or a shuttle, and overload is billed at the same rate per pound.
The fixed-price option is a flat fee for reserving an entire truck. The fee is binding and includes guaranteed pickup and delivery. Stairs or an elevator at delivery do not add to it.
You see the proof: the net weight and the scale ticket come to you after pickup. Decide what stays behind before the free on-site inspection, so the estimate covers only what is going.
What the rate includes
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. Moving blankets and tape are free; other packing supplies are charged as used. Basic valuation is $0.60 per pound per article, and full value protection can be bought from Baker International (account ID 17421). Packing is an add-on, and unpacking boxes is not included.
How payment works
Half is paid on the day of pickup and half on 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 and real-estate-agent referrals get 7% off, and friend referrals 5%.
