Transparent Pricing for Moving, Delivery & Cleanouts

---

At Hassle Free Hauling, Moving & Delivery, we believe pricing should be clear before the work begins. Below is a straightforward breakdown of our service rates, common pricing structures, and the factors that may affect final cost. Our goal is honest communication up front, so you know what to expect before scheduling service. 

To help keep your move on time and on budget, we ask that all small or loose items be boxed, bagged, or otherwise contained before we arrive.

We do not typically provide full packing services, since packing adds time and labor cost that can usually be avoided with advance preparation. In limited cases, exceptions may be arranged ahead of time when special circumstances make that necessary.

Proper preparation helps our crew work more efficiently and helps protect your belongings during the move. In simple terms, having smaller items packed and ready before arrival saves time, reduces preventable delays, and helps keep your overall moving cost down.

Our residential and commercial moving services are billed at:

• $150 per hour *
• 2-hour minimum

This rate includes:

• Two experienced movers 
• A moving truck 
• Standard moving equipment 
• Additional stops within the same city at no extra charge 

Billable time begins when we arrive at the first pickup location and ends after the final item is unloaded at the destination.

If your move requires additional manpower, extra crew members may be added at:

• $40 per hour per person

*Hourly rate will increase to $175/hour as of 07/01/2026

Every move is different, but many customers want a realistic idea of what to expect before reaching out. Our standard moving rate is $150 per hour with a 2-hour minimum, which includes two movers and a truck. The estimates below are general expectations for local moves and are based on typical working time, not a fixed quote.

If you only need the large items moved, such as beds, dressers, couches, appliances, safes, or other heavy pieces, we can absolutely help with that too. You do not have to book a full-house move if you only need help with the items that are too heavy, awkward, or stressful to move yourself.

Studio Apartment
Typical time: 2 hours
Estimated cost: $300

1-Bedroom Apartment
Typical time: 2 to 4 hours
Estimated cost: $300 to $600

2-Bedroom Apartment or Small Home
Typical time: 4 to 6 hours
Estimated cost: $600 to $900

3-Bedroom Home
Typical time: 6 to 8 hours
Estimated cost: $900 to $1,200

4-Bedroom Home or Larger
Typical time: 8+ hours
Estimated cost: $1,200+,  depending on crew size, access, volume, and preparation  

These estimates are meant to give you a practical expectation, not lock you into a one-size-fits-all price. Your final cost depends on the actual time needed to complete the job, including factors like stairs, elevators, walking distance, driveway access, how prepared everything is, whether furniture needs to be disassembled, and whether you are moving everything or only the larger items.

We believe in straightforward pricing and honest expectations. If your move is simple, prepared, and easy to access, it may stay on the lower end of the range. If the move involves extra stairs, long carries, heavy items, multiple stops, or a larger amount of belongings, it may take longer.

Either way, our goal is simple: clear communication, fair pricing, and no surprises.

Some exceptionally heavy or specialized items such as safes, upright pianos, and certain commercial equipment may require an additional oversized-item handling fee of:

• $250 per item, per flight of stairs or level change 

This fee is added to the standard hourly rate and helps cover the extra labor, equipment, planning, and risk involved in handling oversized or unusually difficult items safely.

We offer delivery service for furniture, appliances, and other large or bulky items.

Small Deliveries (1 to 2 Items)

• Flat-rate pricing starting at $80 to $260 

Larger or Multi-Item Deliveries

• $150 per hour *
• 2-hour minimum 

Delivery pricing may be affected by:

• Item count and overall load size 
• Weight or handling difficulty 
• Stairs or restricted access 
• Number of stops 
• Placement, setup, or removal needs 

When a delivery cannot be priced exactly from photos or a brief description alone, we will explain that up front and communicate clearly before moving forward if the scope appears different than expected.

Additional crew members may be added at:

• $40 per hour per person

*Hourly rate will increase to $175/hour as of 07/01/2026

We offer one-time and scheduled dump runs for household trash, garage clutter, furniture, appliances, move-out debris, and miscellaneous unwanted items.

Standard dump-run pricing is typically quoted as a flat disposal handling fee, based on volume, estimated weight, item type, ease of access, loading conditions, and the truck being used.

Our disposal handling fee covers more than the landfill ticket. It also accounts for truck space, loading and unloading effort, sorting, fuel, equipment use, safe handling, risk mitigation, landfill or transfer station costs, and the added wear that comes with hauling debris. 

Our goal is to keep disposal pricing clear before the job begins whenever possible.

Common examples include:

Single couch, mattress, or standard appliance: 

typically around $50

Refrigerator or freezer: 

typically around $100 

per unit due to refrigerant handling requirements.

Partial mixed load: 

typically around $200-$250

Full truckload: typically around $300-$500
Depending on volume, estimated weight, material type, and truck used.

Some loads may cost more if they involve unusually heavy material, construction debris, contaminated items, pest-related conditions, unsafe handling conditions, or special disposal requirements.

We handle larger removal, cleanout, and property transition projects for homes, rentals, businesses, estates, and properties that need to be cleared, reset, or prepared for their next use.

Common projects include:

• Estate cleanouts 
• Eviction trash-outs 
• Foreclosure cleanups 
• Hoarder or neglected property situations 
• Rental resets and turnover cleanouts 
• Pre-sale prep and property clearing 
• Move-out junk removal
• Garage, shed, yard, and storage area clearing
• Pre-remodel removal, light demolition, and debris cleanup 
• Downsizing and large-item removal projects 

Pricing for larger cleanouts and property transition projects is typically based on:

Labor: billed at our standard crew-and-truck rate
Disposal handling: billed separately based on load size, estimated weight, material type, and disposal requirements
Additional crew: available when needed at $40 per hour per additional crew member
Travel: may apply for jobs outside Anchorage

Smaller loads, curb piles, and 1 to 2 item removals may be quoted as a flat bid when that makes more sense than hourly pricing.

Some properties require additional planning or safety considerations. Pest-related conditions, heavy odors, unsanitary material, sharp debris, biohazard-related concerns, or unsafe access conditions may require added protective equipment, special handling, or a separate quote. Some situations may be outside our scope.

Repeat customers, landlords, property managers, realtors, and larger recurring accounts may qualify for preferred pricing when the work volume, scheduling consistency, and payment terms allow it.

*Hourly rate will increase to $175/hour as of 07/01/2026

During cleanouts, turnovers, and larger removal projects, usable items may be separated for donation, recycling, reuse, or other responsible handling whenever practical.

Qualifying donation items may be dropped off without an added landfill-related disposal charge when they are accepted by a donation facility. Standard hourly labor charges still apply for sorting, loading, transporting, unloading, and handling those items.

Not all items are accepted by donation centers, recycling facilities, or disposal sites. Acceptance depends on condition, cleanliness, safety, demand, facility rules, available drop-off options, and the practical limits of the job.

Items intended for donation or recycling that are rejected, declined, or unable to be accepted may still require disposal and may incur the applicable disposal handling fee.

Once items are removed, Hassle Free determines the most practical and responsible handling method based on item condition, donation availability, recycling options, disposal requirements, safety, truck space, timing, and job logistics.

Donation and recycling can sometimes reduce landfill waste and may reduce disposal-related costs when items are accepted. However, they do not eliminate the labor, handling, truck space, or time involved in removing the items.

Our goal is to reduce unnecessary landfill waste whenever practical, while keeping pricing clear, realistic, and fair.

Some moving, removal, cleanout, and turnover jobs may involve known or suspected pest activity. In many cases, we may still be able to help, but any known or suspected insect, rodent, or other pest activity must be disclosed in advance.

Advance notice allows us to determine whether the job can be handled safely and what precautions may be required. Depending on the situation, this may include protective equipment, sanitation measures, scheduling adjustments, or other safety-related job modifications.

Our goal is to protect our crew, equipment, and customers’ belongings while preventing cross-contamination between job sites. Failure to disclose known or suspected pest activity ahead of time may result in added safety-related charges, job delays, rescheduling, or refusal of service if safe handling is not possible under the conditions presented.

We handle these situations discreetly and professionally, but transparency is essential to maintaining safe working conditions and protecting everyone involved.

For jobs outside the Anchorage area, travel is typically billed as a round-trip service-area charge based on distance, fuel, drive time, and overall logistics.

As a general guideline, travel is usually calculated at approximately $3.50 per mile (one-way), then applied as a single round-trip charge for the town or service area.

Multiple stops within the same town generally do not create additional travel charges.

Example: If a job includes multiple stops within Palmer, travel is charged once for the Anchorage-to-Palmer round trip rather than once per stop within Palmer. 

We believe clear pricing and fair treatment go together. Plans change, delays happen, and unexpected conditions sometimes come up. Our goal is to communicate clearly, charge fairly, and handle each job professionally from start to finish.
