Pricing
How pricing works.
Every quote is built from the same few lines. Here is what each one is, so nothing on yours comes as a surprise. Estimates are free, with no obligation.
What's on your quote
Your quotation lists each of these as its own line, then the total. Lines that don't apply to your job aren't there.
Labour
For an hourly move, your crew's hourly rate times the hours worked. The rate depends on how many movers the job needs. For a fixed-price job, the price we agree before we start.
Dispatch fee
A set fee that covers the crew's travel from our office to your job.
Gas surcharge
For moves, a charge for each kilometre driven between your addresses.
Added services
Anything extra you ask for, such as junk removal alongside a move, as its own line with its own price.
GST
Added to the subtotal, shown on its own line.
Card processing fee
3% of the total with GST, and only if you pay by credit card. Paying cash or by e-transfer? Tell us and we take it off.
Your total
Any deposit you paid comes off it.
Hourly or fixed price
Hourly moves
- Your crew's hourly rate, which depends on how many movers the job needs.
- A 2-hour minimum.
- The final time can be more than estimated, depending on how long the move takes. You pay for the hours actually worked.
Fixed-price jobs
- One price agreed before we start, so the hours don't change it.
- Used for jobs at one address, such as junk removal and building maintenance, priced for the work involved.
- The dispatch fee and any added services still show as their own lines.
The deposit, and paying
Requesting an estimate doesn't book your date. Once you approve it, a deposit in your Client Portal reserves the day, and it comes off your final bill. Some bookings need no deposit; your quotation says which.
Cash
No processing fee. Let us know before you pay.
E-transfer
To lloydlightningmoversltd@gmail.com. Autodeposit is on, so there is no security question.
Credit card
Visa, Mastercard or Amex, in your Client Portal. Adds the 3% processing fee.
A smoother moving day starts with a clear estimate.
