A: For local moves within the state of Washington (typically under 55 miles), pricing is based entirely on a transparent hourly rate determined by the size of the crew and the number of trucks required for your job. Under state regulations, billing begins when our crew arrives at your origin location and concludes when the final item is safely placed at your destination, plus a standard travel time allowance to cover the truck's transit. We believe in absolute honesty, meaning there are never any hidden fees or surprise surcharges.

A: No, AMC Moving does not require upfront booking deposits. We secure your date on our schedule based on mutual trust and clear communication. You only pay for your move once the job is successfully and satisfactorily completed.

A: A Non-Binding Estimate is an educated approximation of your final cost based on the standard hourly rates and the volume of items described. The final price is determined by the exact hours worked. A Binding Estimate is a guaranteed, fixed price for the specific inventory and services listed in your quote. If your inventory and access conditions remain the exact same on moving day, the price we quoted is exactly what you pay—no exceptions.

A: For moves over 55 miles within Washington or interstate relocations, pricing is shifted away from hourly rates. Instead, it is calculated using a regulated formula based on the total weight of your shipment (measured in hundredweight, or CWT) and the exact mileage between your origin and destination. Your estimate will also clearly break down any applicable fuel surcharges and travel accessorials.

A: Absolutely not. Unlike major national van lines that consolidate multiple households into a single massive trailer—often shuffling your belongings through various regional warehouses—AMC Moving provides a dedicated truck and crew. Your items are loaded securely at your home, locked down, and driven directly to your destination on a guaranteed, unbroken schedule.

A: Yes. We specialize in handling high-density, heavy specialty loads. We operate professional moving trucks equipped with heavy-duty hydraulic liftgates, allowing us to safely transition heavy machinery, tool chests, and large appliances from ground level into our truck without dangerous lifting or tilting. Please let us know about these items in advance so we can dispatch the proper equipment and crew configuration.

A: For standard clothing items, you can leave them right in the drawers! This saves you time and box space. However, please remove any heavy, fragile, valuable, or loose items (such as jewelry, electronics, perfume bottles, or coins) from the drawers prior to our arrival to ensure they aren't damaged during transit.

A: Operating in Western Washington means we are completely prepared for the weather! A bit of Northwest rain won't slow us down. Our crews use premium furniture pads, thick plastic shrink-wrap, and floor runners to protect both your belongings and the entryways of both properties from moisture and dirt.

A: For safety and legal compliance, we cannot transport hazardous, flammable, or explosive materials. This includes aerosol cans, propane tanks, gasoline, paint thinner, ammunition, and fireworks. We also highly recommend that you personally transport high-value personal essentials, such as cash, prescription medications, legal documents, and fine jewelry.
