Why We’re Making Our Prices Public — And Why It Matters for You
At MHC Moving, we’ve seen far too many people caught off guard by the moving industry’s hidden fees, binding contracts, and vague estimates that suddenly turn into much higher bills.
We’ve had customers come to us frustrated because they were charged for things they didn’t even know could be extra — like walking up a flight of stairs, carrying a heavy item, or even changing their contract date.
That’s not how moving should be.
The Problem with Hidden Fees
Many moving companies structure their pricing to look appealing at first glance, but once moving day arrives, the invoice starts growing. Here are a few examples of charges we’ve seen elsewhere in the industry:
Stair fees – Charging extra simply for carrying items upstairs.
Same-day fees – Increasing the cost if the schedule changes unexpectedly.
Long-carry fees – Charging for walking more than a certain distance from the truck to your home.
Heavy item fees – Extra costs for items like safes, treadmills, or pianos.
Binding contracts – Locking you into an estimate that you must pay even if the crew finishes early.
These practices leave customers feeling blindsided, stressed, and taken advantage of — at a time when they should be focusing on the excitement of a new chapter.
Our Solution: Simple, Honest, Transparent Pricing
We decided to take a stand and do something the big companies won’t: we’re making our prices public.
Why? Because you deserve to know exactly what you’re paying for before moving day. No fine print, no vague promises, no surprise charges — just clear, straightforward rates.
When you move with MHC Moving:
No guesswork – Our prices are available for anyone to see, right on our website.
No hidden fees – We’ll never tack on stair fees, long-carry fees, heavy item fees, or any other surprise charges.
No upfront payment – You only pay for the time we actually work.
No binding contracts – If we finish early, you pay less. Period.
One-hour minimum – Because short moves shouldn’t cost you all day’s pay.
What This Means for You
When you book with us, you’ll know exactly what your move will cost before we ever load a single box. That means you can budget confidently, plan ahead, and enjoy peace of mind knowing there won’t be last-minute add-ons.
We believe moving should be about trust, not trickery. It’s about knowing the people you’ve hired are on your side, working hard to get you where you need to go without playing games with your wallet.
Leading the Way in an Industry That Needs Change
We’re proud to lead the way in bringing honesty and transparency back to moving. The industry may be slow to change, but we’re committed to proving that doing the right thing for customers is not only possible — it’s the future.
So when you’re ready for your next move, remember:
At MHC Moving, you get honest work, fair rates, and complete transparency. Always.
