Auxillary Service

Definition:

An extra charge per hour will apply if the moving company is unable to make the originally scheduled delivery or pickup due to an issue at the move location; because of this the company then needs to use a smaller moving truck or van to complete the move. Such issues could be no parking or an inaccessible driveway.

Avoid these extra fees by ensuring the moving truck can park close enough and that nothing is blocking the truck's access. If you're unsure of accessibility, call the mover first and ask questions pertaining directly to your move.
