These are published hourly crew rates, not complete move totals. Ask Milvus which date tier applies and how billed time, travel, packing materials and additional work are calculated. Confirm any minimum and booking terms in the written estimate.
A simple example
Multiply the applicable rate by the billed hours
At a regular rate of $120 per hour for two movers and a truck, four billed hours would represent $480 in hourly charges. This is an arithmetic example, not a promise that your move takes four hours or a complete quote.
Packing, the carry from the truck, elevator access and furniture preparation can affect the work. Ask Milvus to explain any other charges and how the time shown in your estimate is measured.
Price factors
The details that change a moving estimate
Access and distance
Stairs, elevator slots, loading distance and extra stops influence the plan. Describe pickup and delivery access separately.
Date and services
Crew rates vary by date tier. Packing, storage and specialty handling should be included in the scope you ask Milvus to price.
Going farther
An interstate quote needs a destination and inventory
Milvus publishes starting prices on individual routes. For example, the Boston-to-New York studio tier starts at $890. Your final quote depends on the actual goods, access and services.
Boston to New York
Review the route’s move-size tiers and delivery planning.
Other long-distance routes
Find your destination and request a quote for both addresses.
Compare fairly
Ask each quote to cover the same move
Use one inventory
Give each estimator the same list, including storage items and large furniture.
Describe the access
Use the same stairs, elevator and loading information for pickup and delivery.
Match the services
Compare packing, supplies, travel and storage on the same basis. A lower hourly rate alone does not establish a lower final total.
Questions before you book
A few more details
Have a different situation? Call 857-895-8955 and talk it through with Milvus.
What is the minimum charge?
Confirm the applicable minimum directly with Milvus for your date and service. The hourly-rate table alone does not establish a minimum or all booking terms.
Will more movers always cost more overall?
A larger crew has a higher hourly rate but may complete some tasks faster. The right crew depends on inventory, access and handling; ask for the proposed crew and estimated billed time.
Can changing the date reduce the rate?
It may, if another date falls in a lower tier and is available. Ask Milvus to compare the dates before making changes to your lease or building reservation.
