Moving Deposit

A moving deposit is an advance payment that guarantees the date and services of the move. It’s a sign of commitment on both sides – you secure your space, and we allocate time and a team specifically for you. This deposit is factored into the total cost of the move.

Why Do Movers Ask for a Deposit?

1. Reservation Guarantee: Your deposit locks in your moving date on the company’s schedule — especially crucial during busy times (like summer or weekends).
2. Mutual Commitment: It ensures that both parties are serious and ready to follow through with the move.
3. Planning & Staffing: It helps the mover plan their resources — trucks, crew, and materials — specifically for your move.

How Much Is a Moving Deposit?

Deposits typically range from 10% to 30% of the total moving cost, but this can vary by company and job complexity.

Transparent deposits are always clearly outlined in your written estimate or contract — never as a surprise!

Pro Tip:

1. Always check your contract for deposit refund policies and cancellation deadlines.
2. Ask for a written receipt for your deposit payment.
3. Clarify how and when it’s applied to your final moving bill (it’s typically deducted from the total on moving day).
