Moving Quote Example: 3-Bedroom Local Move

About this example

This example is the quote a local moving company sends a family moving a three-bedroom house nine miles across the Portland area. It covers a day of full packing by three packers with all materials, a moving day with a 26-foot truck and four movers, an upright piano, furniture assembly, floor protection and full value protection.

Moving quotes cause disputes when the final bill is a surprise, so this one shows how the price is built. A room-by-room inventory gives the box count and cubic feet behind the truck size and hours. A route map and a two-day schedule set expectations, and the itemized price shows hourly labor separately from materials. A short table shows what the family pays if the move runs an hour short or long, with a not-to-exceed price as the ceiling. Three packing options, a checklist for the week before, common questions, clear terms on claims and cancellation, and an acceptance block complete it.

Who it is for

Local and long-distance movers, packing services and moving brokers who quote household moves and want fewer disputes on moving day.
