What changes the price
The quote should reflect the actual item, labor and access rather than a generic teaser price.
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Floor | Upper floors increase labor and time. |
| Elevator | Reserved service elevators can make a large difference. |
| Parking | Distance from the building to the truck affects carrying time. |
| Volume | Apartment cleanouts can grow quickly when several roommates leave items. |
| Deadline | End-of-lease timing can create high demand around campus. |
