    This Standard Pricing and Fees Policy explains how Blue Dolly Moving & Storage calculates charges for moving services. All pricing is based on actual services performed unless otherwise stated in writing.

    Local Moving Services With Transportation

    The total cost of a local move with transportation is based on the actual time spent performing the services, measured from the time the crew arrives at the origin address until services are completed at the final destination, plus any applicable vehicle, travel, or specialty charges.

    Estimates may be provided in advance based on information supplied by the customer. Estimates are non-binding unless expressly stated otherwise. Final charges are determined by the actual services performed.

    Crew Labor Rates

    Blue Dolly charges an hourly rate per mover.

    • Time begins when the crew arrives at the scheduled origin location
    • Time ends when unloading is completed and the crew is finished at the destination
    • The assigned crew size is based on the scope of work and efficiency

    A larger crew may complete work faster and does not necessarily increase total cost.

    Truck and Equipment Charges

    When transportation is required, a truck and materials fee applies. This covers:

    • Use of the moving truck
    • Dollies, moving blankets, straps, floor protection
    • Standard equipment

    If multiple trucks are required, the fee applies per truck.

    Travel Time and Trip Fees

    • Travel time or trip fees may apply based on distance and service area
    • Travel charges may include time or mileage for travel between origin and destination
    • Additional travel fees may apply for locations outside Blue Dolly's standard service area

    Any applicable travel charges will be disclosed prior to service.

    Labor-Only Moving (No Truck)

    For services that do not include transportation:

    • Charges are based on hourly labor only
    • Labor Only Travel Charge fees apply unless otherwise disclosed

    Minimum Service Time

    All moving jobs are subject to a minimum service charge regardless of the actual time worked. The minimum service time is two (2) hours and will be disclosed in advance. The minimum applies per crew and per truck.

    Time Increments

    Service time is billed in 15-minute increments, rounded at the conclusion of the job.

    Packing Services and Materials

    Packing services are billed at the applicable hourly labor rate. Packing materials are billed separately unless expressly included in writing:

    Boxes
    Mattress Bags
    TV boxes
    Packing Paper / Bubble Wrap
    Specialty Cartons

    Specialty and Heavy Items

    Certain items require additional labor, equipment, or risk and may incur additional charges:

    Grandfather / Grandmother Clocks
    Pianos
    Safes
    Large Appliances
    Oversized or Unusually Heavy Furniture

    Customers will be notified of any specialty item charges before the item is moved whenever reasonably possible.

    Delays and Additional Charges

    Additional charges may apply if delays occur due to:

    Customer not being prepared
    Restricted access
    Elevator delays
    Long carries
    Stairs not disclosed in advance
    Parking or loading restrictions

    Delay time is billable.

    Deposits and Payment

    • A deposit may be required to reserve services
    • Deposits are applied toward the final invoice
    • Deposits are non-refundable unless otherwise stated in writing
    • Payment is due upon completion of services unless otherwise agreed in writing

    Cancellations and Rescheduling

    72+ Hours Notice

    Cancellations made seventy-two (72) hours or more prior to the scheduled service start time are eligible for a full refund of any deposit paid.

    Less Than 72 Hours Notice

    Cancellations or rescheduling requests made within seventy-two (72) hours of the scheduled service start time may result in cancellation or rescheduling fees, and any deposit paid will be non-refundable.

    All rescheduling requests are subject to availability and are not guaranteed.

    Sales Tax

    Sales tax may apply to packing materials or other taxable items as required by law. Taxable items will be listed separately on the invoice, if applicable.
