The price of the transport

About 4 parameters is the lead Guy Good Day, CEO M.D.S. (Student Housing Center), says that the average freight price consists of 4 main parameters:

distance. Inter-urban transport will be more expensive than transport within the same city. The larger the distance between the apartments, the higher the price.

floor. An increase in the floor significantly raises the price. However, an elevator in the Mozilla building significantly increases the price of transport.

Access to the apartment. Internal entrances, long and narrow access paths – All of these make it difficult for the top job and jump the price.

Contents. Objects that need dismantling and assembly significantly price the price. In addition, objects such as piano also raise the price. It is advisable to lower the transport price. It is recommended to dismantle furniture such as a bed or a simple door cabinet alone, saving up to NIS 150 for such an item.

date. Transport on requested dates, first or end of month, makes the transport easier.

Crane option

In recent years, some transport companies have also used a crane, with which you can reach high floors and is primarily intended for apartments with special accessibility problems, Such as high-rise apartments with no elevator or problem of problematic content such as a piano or a particularly large buffet.
The operation of the crane is of course contingent upon its access to the apartment. Proximity is required alongside the relevant building as well as a clean area of power cables, telephone, etc.
Renting a crane for transport is by working hour and according to the floor where the apartment is located. Up to the fourth floor, we will cost about 250 hours of crane, up to about 600 NIS, up to an eighth floor about 400 NIS and over an eighth floor about 600 NIS. Prices do not include VAT.
The transport in the lever is relatively fast and safe (for content). It sometimes pays to order a crane even when there is an elevator in the apartment. The items are raised quickly, and are not damaged in the passage in a narrow staircase.

Packaging services

Of course, there is also the possibility of using packaging services offered by transport companies. For an additional fee, the company will send employees who will pack the contents of your home in advance. The definition of packaging services varies from company to company and prices accordingly.
Some companies work according to a division of a “regular” crate and a “fragile” crate”. The price of standard crate packaging ranges from NIS 15 to NIS 25, a fragile crate packing will cost between NIS 25 and NIS 40. Other companies charge a total of 50% of the freight price for the service (for example: NIS 1,000 transport combined with a packing service will cost NIS 1,500). Other companies will ask to send a person who will appreciate the contents for packaging and will be listed for the price and here the sky with the border. That is why they did check a number of companies, the gaps are very significant.

It is very useful to take advantage of the apartment move to dilute the objects you have. It’s a shame to move things that are no longer useful. If you pack independently, ask the transport company for crates. Glass words must be packed in newspaper paper before putting in crates. Particularly fragile things are desirable to wrap in bubble wrap. Books and other heavy objects should be packed in small crates. The contents of all drawers and cabinets must be emptied. Full crates should also be closed with glue at the bottom of the crate. It is useful to write on each crate what it contains so that the carriers can place it in the appropriate room. It is important to count how many crates you packed. Clothes should be packed in strong suitcases or plastic bags. If you are using packaging services you should consider that packaging services are not cheap and exceed 70% of the cost of shipping.

Insurance

Under the carrier law must insure the contents of the apartment and even pay the deductible if damage is done. In practice, however, insurance does not include breaking of fragile objects, including much of the damage that may be difficult to claim because the damage cannot always be detected immediately. It is very desirable to independently transfer objects that are particularly important to you and to closely monitor the transfer of the apartment.
