Comparing New Jersey Moving and Storage Service Basic Charge Units

All moving service providers make their cost calculations based on a specific basic charge unit. Your basic charge unit should appear on your estimate. For long distance moves, it is the rate per pound or the rate per cubic foot that the mover uses to calculate the amount of space your shipment will take on the truck. For local moves, it is the fixed rate per hour. If the basic charge unit does not appear on the estimate that your relocation service provided you, contact your mover and ask for to receive it in writing.
