HOW IT WORKS

The Poseidon Moving Experience

We offer hourly rates for local moves and binding flat-rate pricing for long-distance relocations — no surprises either way. From your first call to the moment your last box is placed, our team delivers expert service, clear communication, and a move you can count on.

ESTIMATE TYPES

Binding vs. Non-Binding Estimates

Understanding the difference helps you choose the right quote structure for your move.

FIXED PRICE
Binding Estimate
Locked pricing when your item list and services stay the same
Changes to scope require an updated quote
Packing billed separately based on actual usage
Built from the itemized list you approve
Best for: long-distance and interstate moves
VARIABLE
Non-Binding Estimate
Final total reflects actual labor time and services used
Materials billed based on what is used
Access conditions can affect total time
Common for hourly local moves and packing jobs
Best for: local moves and labor-only jobs

DEPOSITS & PAYMENT

Secure Your Move With Confidence

A deposit reserves your date and guarantees priority scheduling. We accept card payments only for a secure, hassle-free transaction.

LOCAL MOVES
Billed at an Hourly Rate
DEPOSIT
$200 flat deposit to reserve your move date. Remaining balance due after the move is complete.
YOUR RATE INCLUDES
