A local move is priced from three things: the crew rate, the hours worked and any extras. Two movers with a truck cost $125/hr, three cost $165/hr and four cost $210/hr. One extra hour at the same rate covers the truck and travel, and GST is added at 5%.
Time depends mostly on the size of the home. As a guide, a studio or one-bedroom apartment takes about two hours with two movers, a two-bedroom apartment about three, a three-bedroom house about five hours with three movers, and a four-bedroom house about eight. Stairs, long walks from the truck and a home that isn't packed yet all add time.
Extras are priced per item: appliances at $40 each, exercise equipment at $50, and very heavy pieces such as pianos or gun safes at around $300. Boxes start at $4. Packing and storage are quoted separately — see packing services. Moving out of town? Long-distance moves within Alberta can be quoted at a flat rate.
