Who sets move prices

Providers set move prices individually, weighing their own costs against how much work they have. When demand is high the number rises; when it is low there is more room to negotiate.

Timing your move

Scheduling matters as much as the quote for move. Emergency and same-week work carries a premium, while a planned slot booked ahead usually lands closer to the middle of the range.
