HOUSEHOLD

Most household moves start with a conversation regarding the most basic information:

  • Where are your belongings? 

  • Where are you moving

  • When do you need to move?

The next step is most commonly to schedule and complete a visual survey or estimate used to help us determine the proper manpower, materials and logistics to complete your move the way you want it. Despatch does every type of household move, from a few pieces shifting from one floor to another in your building to interstate and international relocations. While all moves have elements in common, each is unique and Despatch will work to ensure that the details making your move special are handled appropriately. We can advise you how best to reduce the cost of moving, and can assure you quality service by experienced movers.

                                                                  

Pricing

Local moves are priced by time and materials required to complete the job. Interstate moves are calculated with a tariff based on the weight and mileage of the shipment combined with particulars like stairs or elevators, bulky objects (pianos, lawnmowers, etc.) and whether your locations are accessible to a tractor-trailer. Pricing international shipments is similarly based on weight and distance, but has an even greater range of variables. Despatch will arrange or suggest third-party services when required for electrical, appliances, playsets, custom cabinetry, etc.

Relocation Services

If your company is involved in transferring employees on a somewhat regular basis, Despatch would like to assist as your relocation service provider. We can work with you to develop a contract for services with NorthAmerican Van Lines that can add value to and reduce the administration of the relocations that your company does.
