Elevator Fee / Long Carry Fee

An Elevator Fee or Long Carry Fee is an additional charge that covers extra time and effort when movers have to navigate challenging building conditions. This can include multiple trips in an elevator, long hallways, stairs, or carrying items a long distance from the truck to your door.

When This Fee Applies

1. Buildings with limited or no elevator access.
2. Apartments or offices on higher floors require multiple trips.
3. Long distances from the loading zone to your door.
4. Carrying heavy or bulky items up stairs or long corridors.

Why It Matters

1. Ensures your belongings are handled safely without rushing.
2. Helps schedule enough time and staff to prevent damage or delays.
3. Keeps your move transparent — you know about extra charges before moving day.

Pro Tip:
Ask your Relocation Coordinator about potential Elevator or Long Carry Fees when booking your move. Early planning may allow you to adjust logistics, like scheduling elevator reservations or using building carts, to minimize extra charges.
