Terms of Service | Moving Proz

Pricing and Booking:

Our hourly estimates are charged on a per-man per-hour basis. Under no circumstances are estimated costs, whether via telephone or on site, intended as a guarantee of the total costs for completed work. Time starts at the origin address and ends once the labor is completed at the destination.
There is a 2 hour minimum per day on hourly services. Any time after the first two hours is prorated in 15 minute increments, billed as used.
Flat rate moves are subject to an exact amount to be paid. Flat rates are priced according to the inventory provided. If the inventory is not accurate, the price will be subject to change accordingly.
Moves are scheduled according to estimated move durations. Moving Proz LLC provides services billed in 15 minute increments after the first 2 hours.
Over-the-phone estimates are dependent on customer inventory disclosure. Failure to properly disclose inventory will result in an inaccurate estimate. Moving Proz LLC reserves the right to refuse to move additional undisclosed inventory to preserve upcoming ETAs and schedule limitations. Please note: your crew will arrive with the equipment and materials necessary to move the items disclosed. If additional inventory is added and Moving Proz agrees to move the additional inventory, certain equipment and materials necessary to properly move those items may not be available. In these instances, the customer agrees to release Moving Proz’ liability for the undisclosed inventory.
Specialty items including, but not limited to, pianos, safes, goals, grandfather clocks, pool tables, etc. must be disclosed prior to your move. These items will incur an additional fee based on the item size and weight as well as the move scope (i.e. stairs, switchback turns, walk around basements, etc.)
Long distance moves are truck-specific. Our trucks are 26 feet long (1,400 cubic feet of space) unless otherwise specified. Moving Proz is not liable for any items that do not fit within the specified amount of truck space. Long distance moving estimates are also based on specific dates and times for pick up and delivery.
Packing materials are sold separately from the packing service. Materials will be counted and added at the end. Packing materials are subject to sales tax.
Moving Proz provides some services for a discounted “add-on” rate. These rates are dependent on fulfillment of the original service. If the original service is not completed, the discounted rate for the add-on service will be revoked and the service will be provided at the standard rate.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that all information included in the Order for Service is accurate, including but not limited to name, contact information, move date, time preference, and addresses.
Moves are booked on a first come first served basis. Availability is determined when you receive your estimate. However, if there is a delay in accepting the estimate, a signature on the Order for Service Agreement will not automatically guarantee booking. After we have received your signature, you will receive an email that confirms whether your move has been added to the schedule. If booked, you will receive an invoice for a deposit payment.
Unless otherwise stated, a deposit is required to schedule your move. This deposit is applied towards your move total, not in addition to. We must have a card on file before dispatching your crew. Credit cards are automatically tokenized at time of deposit payment.
Local moves require 35% be paid as a deposit.
For moves scheduled Monday -Thursday, this deposit is fully refundable as long as your move is cancelled or rescheduled before close of business (6pm) at least 5 days prior to your move date. For moves scheduled Friday – Sunday, this deposit is fully refundable as long as your move is cancelled or rescheduled before close of business (6pm) at least 7 days prior to your move date.
In the case of long distance moves, a 50% deposit will be taken. 35%will be taken at the time of booking. 15%will be taken 5 days prior to your move date. This deposit is fully refundable as long as your move is cancelled or rescheduled before close of business (6pm) at least 5 days prior to your move date.
Moves that are scheduled on the same day as your move require the 2 hour minimum amount be paid up front as a deposit. This payment is non-refundable should you choose to cancel.
Moving Proz reserves the right to take a pre-authorization on your credit card for the quoted amount prior to the move. In some instances, a pre-authorization may be taken in lieu of a deposit.
If the customer chooses to cancel or reschedule a booked move and does not contact Moving Proz LLC via email at [email protected] within the time frames listed above, the customer will either (a) forfeit their deposit if paid or (b) be charged a cancellation fee equal to the deposit if an exception was allowed and the deposit was not yet paid.
If the customer chooses to cancel or reschedule a move on the day of moving, the customer will be charged an additional $100 fee.
ETAs are set 1-2 days prior to the move date. It is the customer’s responsibility to inform Moving Proz of any deadlines, restrictions, or time preferences. Information regarding ETAs can be viewed above in the Move Information section notes. If the customer does not provide this information prior to receiving his or her ETA, Moving Proz can not guarantee any adjustments to the schedule.

Payment:

Methods of payment accepted are cash, Visa, Master Card, Discover, or American Express. Checks will only be accepted for corporate moves and must be pre-approved. Any checks that are returned will be subject to a $50 penalty. A 5%discount will be included for payments other than credit or debit.
Total charges must be paid to the lead mover at the end of the move unless other arrangements are made with us when the work was scheduled prior to the move date.
