What changes a moving quote?
The price ranges above include full packing and moving. Room count is a starting point, not a full inventory. List wardrobes, beds, appliances, fragile items and anything stored on balconies or in a garage. Share photographs and dimensions of large pieces. Stairs, lift access, walking distance from the truck and time windows can change the handling plan.
Packing, transport and setup
Decide whether you need full packing, fragile-only packing or transport for already-packed items. Ask which materials, dismantling, furniture reassembly and unpacking are included. Discuss wall mounting, specialist items and appliance work separately; moving an item does not automatically include installing it.
Why we ask for details before giving a price
WellStar prepares a quote around the work you describe. Send both areas, your preferred date, an inventory and access details. A survey or photo review may be needed. The written quotation should state the agreed work and charges before you book.
What to check in a written quote
A price you can compare
Ask each provider to quote the same inventory, addresses, packing level and access conditions. Compare the included work, additional charges and payment terms together. Your actual moving details allow the team to prepare a written price for the job you need.
