Labor, Truck Rental & Travel

 

The estimate provided by ASAP Movers (“ASAP”) is generated using the information provided by the client via our website “Estimate Form,” over email correspondence, and/or the phone, as well as our considerable experience in assessing similar moves. Estimates are not flat rates or “do not exceed” amounts. The vast majority of our moves are completed within about an hour of our stated estimate. However, in some cases a move may take longer, sometimes much longer. It depends on all the client’s belongings, how well those belongings were boxed up and packed, how long the walks are, how many stairs there are, how close parking is, etc., and how accurate the client was in furnishing this key information to us in time for the estimate. Traffic, weather and other “acts of God” can of course also have a significant impact.

 

Your use of ASAP Movers for any moving, packing and unpacking services, loading or unloading services to and from your moving truck, storage container, or storage shed, boxes and packing supplies, the number of moving laborers you hired from ASAP Movers, and the total amount of hours you used ASAP Movers shall determine your final costs.  For local moves your start time will begin at your first location and will end when all of your belongings have been unloaded at your final destination, and the ASAP moving truck has returned to the condition it arrived in at the arrival of your first moving location. (I.E. Truck is swept out, pads are folded, straps are hung, dollies are secured). All moves will incur drive time between all locations and ASAP movers is not responsible for unforseen traffic when traveling between locations.  For locations outside the Denver metro area you may incur travel time to and from our facility and in addition to travel time between locations unless other arrangements are specified and agreed upon  in advance to your relocation and written and signed by ASAP personnel.

 

Additional Services:

 

When our local movers arrive for a move, they assess the situation and let the client know if they see the move taking significantly longer than predicted. If so, in order to speed up the move and maintain ASAP's moving schedule for the day, we reserve the right to send in additional moving help at the rate which reflects your quoted estimate.

 

 

We believe these charges are fair and proportional, not punitive in any way.

 

Any additional services such as, but not limited to piano moving, gun safes and relocation of items exceeding 250 lbs., box delivery, trash disposal, storage, parking permits, building

insurance, crating and or full coverage insurance options, will require a safe moving team with a minimum of four movers. If oversized items are not discussed prior to your move we will be unable to relocate your oversized items for the safety of our moving teams.

 

Rescheduling by ASAP

 

ASAP Movers reserves the right to reschedule your move at a time agreed upon with the client, in the case of unforeseen circumstances that might make the move hazardous to the client’s possessions or our workers, including, but not limited to, snow, ice, rain, acts of terrorism, and acts of God.

 

If it is not possible to finish the move in the time allocated and movers available to us, ASAP Movers reserves the right to attend to the other obligations in our schedule before returning to complete the job.

 

In accordance with the Department of Transportation regulations, we must limit our workers’ workdays to 12 hours. If a worker reaches this limit, ASAP Movers reserves the right to postpone a job to another date or send in a replacement worker.

 

Rescheduling by client

 

ASAP Movers reserves the right to charge a $50 nonrefundable deposit for any move, which is not rescheduled within 48 hours notice from your scheduled appointment.  When clients cancel on short notice it can be difficult to find a replacement move for our crews who have traveled to work just for your move. If the client reschedules a move inside of this 48 hour timeframe this deposit will be applied to your new move date. If your move is canceled, this fee is nonrefundable. Please check that your buildings don’t have any move date/time restrictions, or elevator restrictions.

Please note that any packing supplies purchased from ASAP Movers will be charged at the rate currently listed on the ASAP Movers "Boxes" section of our website unless other arrangements are specified and agreed upon in writing by ASAP personnel in advance to your move date. ASAP Movers provides free moving and packing supplies for full service moves. A full service move requires packing services, staging services, load services, unload services, and unpacking services. Though ASAP Movers does provide a "re-staging service" at your new home you are not required to have your movers stage your new home.
