Why do most movers charge by the hour for local moves?
Movers may charge by the hour for local moves, because it’s the easiest way for them (movers) to make the most money, knowing that a lot of customers don’t know how to prepare to save time, which cost them money. Customers complain about high moving prices because they don’t quite understand how movers operate (no offense intended). Customers are vulnerable to hourly movers because they don’t know what to do to save time when they move on move day. Saving money starts long before your move day (90 days) and this is how your movers charge more for their service through their (movers) time. Time is money. Remember this, on hourly priced moves saving time equals to saving money.
