Clear pricing up front.
We post hourly rates online and give honest estimate ranges within minutes of your first conversation.
Walkthroughs are easy.
If an in-home or video walkthrough helps accuracy, we’ll schedule it quickly — usually same or next day.
Written estimates you can trust.
We capture your details and send a minimum/maximum range we stand behind, so you can plan confidently.
Simple booking, confirmed in writing.
Once you say “let’s do it,” we lock your date and email your confirmation.
How to avoid low-ball quotes that jump later
Ask the direct question.
“What happens if the final bill is much higher, but nothing about my move changed?”
Look for written accountability.
At B2, if we materially miss your estimate without a scope change, we make it right — no surprise bills, no games.
B2 Moving vs. Competitors
Guaranteed pricing: cubes vs. weight (and why it matters)
B2 uses cubes (space), not weight.
Your price is tied to the space your shipment takes in the truck, so we can bind your quote and lock it in.
Weight quotes often stay “estimated.”
Some interstate movers quote weight, then raise the bill after the truck is weighed. Those are usually non-binding contracts.
Reviews tell the story.
If you skim negative reviews for weight-based movers, a recurring theme is shocked customers getting hit with higher final bills.
Pinpoint delivery: do we charge extra?
No.
Precise delivery windows are part of standard service here. We build your schedule around your needs.
Why others charge for it.
Bigger/franchise operations often rely on third-party crews or carriers, making timing harder to control.
Same crew at origin and destination?
Yes — same in-house crew.
The people who load you are the people who unload you.
That consistency protects your stuff.
Our team carries special notes and “how to handle this” details all the way through delivery.
Common competitor model.
Some movers outsource one end of the job to cut costs, which is where service problems usually show up.
Are B2 reviews real?
100% authentic.
We don’t buy reviews, trade discounts for reviews, or use third-party “review services.”
We reward service, not stars.
Team members get a bonus when a customer mentions them by name in a genuine review.
Do we run multiple profiles per city?
No — one profile per platform.
One Google profile, one Facebook page, one BBB profile. Same track record, no resets.
Why this matters.
Multiple profiles can be a red flag for movers trying to bury bad reviews.
Protection plans: how B2 differs
Released Value is the legal minimum.
By law, movers must offer 60¢ per pound per item — which can be surprisingly low protection.
Our default is Full Value Protection.
For interstate moves, we include coverage up to $50,000 per 26-ft truck with no deductible.
No deductible games.
Many companies require a deductible before they’ll help. We don’t. If something covered is damaged on our watch, we make it right.
High-value items?
We can insure specialty shipments quickly, and we’ve covered moves up to $1,000,000.
How we communicate with customers
We stay in touch early and often.
Notes from your walkthrough get added to your file and reviewed before dispatch and again on move day.
Clear touchpoints.
Email contracts, confirmation calls, day-before sync-ups, and crew pre-arrival texts are standard here.
Simple goal:
you shouldn’t be left wondering what’s happening.
Is B2 in good DOT standing?
Yes.
We’ve been in active, good DOT standing since January 2019 and proudly display USDOT #3219041.
Verify any mover in 60 seconds.
Use the official
FMCSA Company Snapshot lookup
to check registration, safety, and insurance.
Red flags.
No USDOT number, rental trucks, or estimates that feel “too good to be true” usually are.
Booking Tips & Resources
Questions to ask before you book a mover
Are you authorized for interstate moves?
If so, what’s your USDOT number? If it isn’t clearly shown on trucks and the website, that’s a red flag.
What happens if my plans change?
Date shifts, extra items, or access challenges happen all the time. Ask how flexible they are and how changes affect pricing.
How do you handle estimate misses?
The right mover won’t dodge this question — they’ll explain their accountability clearly.
Found a mover you trust — when should you book?
Earlier than you think.
In NWA, reputable movers often book 3–4 weeks out March–October. Winter is slower, but busy weeks still happen.
Don’t finish research just to hear “we’re full.”
Once you’re confident, lock your date.
Get a written agreement.
If a mover hesitates to send terms in writing, keep shopping.
What B2 does before your move day
Written booking confirmation.
As soon as you book, we confirm every detail by email.
Day-before check-in.
We call, text, or email about 24 hours ahead to make sure everything is still perfect.
Arrival with a heads-up.
You’ll get a 24-hour confirmation, and if anything unexpected affects timing, we call you first.
Walkthrough + scope check.
We do a quick walkthrough to confirm details. If anything changed, we update paperwork before we start.
Clear signatures.
A crew leader reviews the plan and pricing with you so everyone is aligned.
Price Transparency at B2
Our pricing philosophy
Transparent line-items.
Labor, materials, transportation, protection — it’s all shown clearly before and after your move.
Published rates online.
Most customers want pricing early, so we put it front-and-center on our site.
High-side estimating.
We’d rather help you plan confidently than win a job with a low guess.
Under-promise, over-deliver.
With no scope changes, our goal is your final bill lands under the estimate.
Average packing service cost
About $1,300 +/- for a typical 3BR.
Most 3-bedroom homes need around 50 boxes, including small/medium/large cartons, dish packs, and wardrobe boxes.
That average includes labor and all materials (paper, bubble wrap, tape, etc.).
How long does packing take?
Three packers typically knock out ~50 boxes in about five hours. Fragile-heavy homes take longer.
How we calculate it.
Hourly labor (billed in 15-minute increments) + actual materials used. We true up materials at the end so you only pay for what’s used.
Average local move cost
About $1,370 +/- for a typical 3BR.
Usually three movers, one 26-ft truck, and roughly six hours of work.
That includes labor, truck, standard supplies, and dispatch (fuel/travel time).
What changes the price?
Loose items, heavy specialty pieces, long carries, stairs, and access challenges can add time.
If you box loose items ahead of time, you’ll usually save money.
How we calculate it.
Hourly labor × hours (15-minute increments) + dispatch.
Moving Preparation Tips
Start organizing and decluttering early
Go room-by-room.
Don’t try to “declutter the whole house” in a weekend. Pick one space at a time.
Use a simple 3-pile rule.
Keep, donate/sell, trash. If you’re unsure, set it aside and revisit later.
Move what you love, not what you’re afraid to toss.
The easiest way to lower moving cost is to move less.
Early access?
Handle loose fragile items at your convenience. Pack them in your vehicle for trips to your new place.
Lamps and TVs usually ride safer in your back seat than stacked tight in a moving truck.
Big move savings tip: do you really need multiple trucks?
Ask about the extra truck.
Ask how full the extra truck is expected to be based on your inventory estimate.
Some companies add a second truck without consulting you to reduce overflow risk.
At B2, we always discuss your options. If you’re using a different mover, ask what inventory you could reduce
to safely avoid the extra truck — cutting a truck can drastically lower your cost.
DIY packing tips that actually help
Heavy stuff goes in small boxes.
Books, tools, and dishware should never be in large boxes.
Label like a pro.
Room + contents + “FRAGILE” + “TOP STACK” when needed. Put labels on at least two sides.
Create and pack an “open-first” essentials box.
Meds, checkbooks, chargers, basic tools, toilet paper, coffee stuff — keep it with you.
Leave non-breakables in drawers.
Save time and money. For dressers, cabinets, and furniture with drawers, you can leave linens
and other non-breakables inside. B2 will stretch-wrap and pad-wrap the piece so everything stays securely in place.
