(Note: final quotes depend on floor level, lift access, distance, and how much packing material is used.
What Actually Changes Your Price
- Floor level and lift access — a 4th-floor walk-up costs more to move than a ground-floor unit.
- Distance — moving across town costs less than moving across the city or between cities.
- Packing service level — full packing (we pack everything) costs more than partial packing (you pack small items, we handle furniture).
- Vehicle size — Shehzore pickups for apartments, Mazda trucks for houses, containers for villas.
- Timing — weekends and month-end (common lease-renewal dates) are busier and may cost slightly more.
