Our Competitive Pricing Strategy That Makes Moving Costs Clear and Affordable
At Texas Sized Moving we calculate rates differently than other moving companies. Our competitors’ pricing strategies are far from transparent, usually providing one large quote that makes it unclear what you're getting and if it's a good value. It's usually an all or nothing daily rate at a premium price, even when you only need to hire movers for a few hours.
Hiring professional movers doesn't have to drain your bank account. With Texas Sized Moving you can budget accurately and get the help you need for a price you can afford.
We use a pricing strategy based on the actual time you need our moving truck and crew. You'll get services for a lower price and save money since you aren't paying for time you don't need. You know what you can expect to pay and what you'll get for your money.

How to Accurately Compare Prices for Moving Services in Austin, TX
At Texas Sized Moving we built our business around making moves super simple. Unfortunately, because of the different competitive pricing strategies that are used and lack of transparency, it can be hard to determine the average cost for moving service and who has the best rates for hiring movers.
We're here to help! Use these insider tips to get a better idea of which local moving company has the best prices.
✔ Watch Out for Additional Costs
With moving services, the final price you're quoted before a move may not actually be final. Some moving companies advertise low rates to attract customers, but the price advertised is just a starting point.
Make sure to read through the paperwork to know exactly what services you are getting for the quoted price. Ask directly if something is included if it isn't clear. Anything that isn't spelled out is fair game for being add-on services that are an additional charge later.
✔ Break It Down by the Hour
After receiving estimates with competitors prices for moving services, you can compare them by breaking it down to the hourly rate. In addition to getting competitor prices, ask the estimated amount of time the moving services will be provided.
Let's take a look at an example. Imagine that you've received an estimate from a moving company that charges by the day, providing two movers and a moving truck. The total cost is going to be $1,500 for the day, with the day being eight hours. That works out to be $187.50/hr.
Comparing competitor pricing this way makes it easier to see which company offers the best prices.
✔ Make Sure the Pricing is for the Same Time
The timing of a move can impact how much movers cost based on the competitive pricing strategies that are used. Some companies have different prices for mid-week moves compared to weekend moves with premium pricing. Others will offer a slightly lower price for a local move or long distance move during the off peak season.
When you're trying to find the best price for moving services, you've got to make sure all of the timing variables are the same since it can impact how much professional moving companies charge.
✔ Ensure Similar Services Are Included in the Estimated Price
The prevailing market price is the lowest rate that's competitive in a local area. The problem with moving services is they differ from one company to the next. The lower prices offered by one company may be for basic services that don't include things like disassembling furniture or wrapping it before loading.
For a true apples to apples price comparison, you have to ensure all of the same services are factored into the cost. That means including any and all up-charges that may apply for an accurate total cost.
Also, be aware that perks like free moving boxes could come at a cost. Some movers charge premium pricing for packing the free boxes or overcharge for other packing materials, essentially wiping out the savings that come with the perk. It's just one way you have to be careful when comparing the cost of similar moving services.
