BMC General Info on Billing

moving: how it works

We calculate the total cost of your move based on fuel cost, load size, and the time from when we start loading until we finish unloading at your destination. We do not charge for the time it takes us to travel to your location or to return to our base after the job is done. 

As a courtesy, we provide free disassembly and reassembly of furniture.
Additionally, we supply the following free of charge for loading, unloading, and transportation purposes only:

  • One free TV box
  • Mattress bags
  • Furniture padding
  • Tools and equipment

For packing materials headed to storage and non-reusable items like bubble wrap and shrink wrap, there is a fee. Bubble wrap is used to protect glass items and TVs (60” or larger), while shrink wrap and padding secure drawers and protect furniture. By our standard, we place protective blankets on furniture items once they’re in the vehicle. For added protection, some clients prefer us to wrap their furniture before it leaves their home to prevent nicks and scratches and avoid wall damage. This can take extra time and may incur an additional charge for the materials used to hold the padding in place.
Providing photos can help us give you the most accurate estimate.

ABOUT How it works

Before Your Movers Arrive

moving process
Movers typically start by moving boxes first. To prepare for your move, organize all boxes, bins, and luggage in front of furniture items or near the exit without blocking the way.
To avoid delays and ensure timely delivery of your belongings, please:
  • Empty all drawers, cabinets, and fluid-containing items.
  • Keep entry and exit ways clear of objects.
  • Clear off items that need to be disassembled.
  • Reserve and lock elevators for movers only.
  • Remove lamp shades and light bulbs.
  • Reserve and lock elevators for movers only.
  • Disconnect all appliances and devices, including propane tanks for outdoor grills and Peloton monitors.

how it works
Moving can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, with many factors influencing the total moving time. Here’s a general formula to estimate moving time, considering common variables:
Total Moving Time = (Accessibility to location x Number of items) + Travel Time/Distance + Packing/Loading + Unloading/Placement

Factors that impact total moving time include:
  • Parking Availability and Access: : Whether the truck can park at the location or if the crew needs to double park.
  • Loading Dock Access: Whether the loading dock requires a reservation or if there will be a wait.
  • Freight Elevator Access:Whether the elevators are locked or need to be reserved
  • Clearance or Checkpoints: Any special COVID or security clearances required.
  • Distance to the Truck:Long hallways, staircases, or elevators.
  • Total Number of Items: Furniture, boxes, and unpacked items.
  • Elevator or Door Size:Whether furniture fits in the elevator or through the door, or if windows need to be used
  • Distance Between Locations:The distance from the old to the new location.
  • Disassembly and Reassembly Needs:The number of items that need to be taken apart and put back together.

Here's a Quick Guide to Help You Estimate How Long a Move Might Take:


Household sizeCrew sizeTotal time
Studio/1 Bedroom (600sqft)2 movers2.5-3.5hrs
2 Bedrooms (800sqft)2 movers3.5-5hrs
3 Bedrooms (1300sqft)2-3 movers5-6hrs
4 Bedrooms (1800sqft)3-4 movers6-7hrs
5 Bedrooms (2000+sqft)4-5 movers7-9hrs
You can reserve movers for the minimum average time, but keep in mind that every move is unique and might take more or less time than estimated. Choosing the right moving company and requesting the appropriate number of movers can make your move smoother.
