We do have a two-hour minimum for all of our moves.. For billing purposes, the time starts when our truck gets to your property and ends when all of your furniture has been offloaded and arranged to your satisfaction at the destination. We then calculate the number of hours worked multiplied by the hourly rate bill you accordingly.

We bill every 15 minutes after the 2 hour minimum is up.

Example1) If your move takes 2 hrs 15 minutes the final fee would be 2.25hrs multiplied by the hourly rate plus (Gas/Materials)=$ Final Bill!

Example-2) If your move takes 3 hrs 20 minutes the final fee would be 3.5hrs multiplied by the hourly rate plus (Gas/Materials)=$ Final Bill!

(Notice that the time is rounded up to the next quarter hour. So in the case of a move taking 3 hrs 20 minutes we would round up to 3.5 hrs for billing purposes)

We use professional moving blankets, stretch wrap and tape to protect your furniture at no additional cost to you.

MyPorter will disconnect and reconnect washers, dryers and refrigerators, as long as the right connections are in place and a waiver/release signed acknowledging that we will not be held responsible for burst water lines or electrical damage of any kind. If we disconnected or reconnected your appliances and a leak occurred we would be liable, so we recommend homeowners disconnect or reconnect appliances themselves or have a trusted appliance specialist/plumber do so.

We will not replace electrical cords on dryers. Refrigerator doors sometimes need to be removed in order to go through narrow hallways or doors. MyPorter will not take off doors that have water or electrical connection going through them and we will not remove freezer bottom drawers on refrigerators. If you know that this needs to be done in order to move the refrigerator in or out of the area where it is located, please contact an appliance company to do that ahead of time.

Yes, we generally recommend as a best practice, that customers empty dresser drawers. The weight of the dresser when weighted down with clothes and all manner of “stuff” poses an additional risk of damage to your furniture and property especially when the dressers/furniture has to be carried down staircases and maneuvered around corners. Some furniture (especially pressed wood or particle board) does fine when sitting on the floor but the stresses it undergoes when moved can cause it to come apart.

We always do our utmost to complete your move as safely as possible regardless of weather conditions. Our primary concern is the safety of our movers and your belongings. Common sense will prevail. If it is raining hard or if conditions are too slippery to execute a safe move then we will reschedule for the next most convenient date.

We will move press wood (e.g., Ikea Furniture) and do our very best to get it from location to location in prime condition. However, pressed wood/particle board items will not be covered by our insurance policy. Pressed wood is an engineered wood product manufactured from wood chips, sawmill shavings, or even sawdust, and a synthetic resin or another suitable binder, which is pressed and extruded. These items tend to come apart/break when moved due to fragility, the slightest movement could permanently damage the piece. It will be the customer’s responsibility to disassemble and reassemble these items due to this inherent risk unless they sign a waiver.

Plasma and Flat Screen/Flat Panel TV’s are highly susceptible to damage from extreme temperatures, slight bumps, and altitude changes. The original packaging or TV boxes (can be found at any Home Depot or Lowes) are best for moving them. These items must be crated or packed in original boxes or boxes designed for proper shipment.

Within reason, of course! We aren’t carpenters but taking apartments beds, couch legs, and other standard tasks are included as part of your standard moving rates!
