Protect Your Flooring with Protective Covering
Many customers express the desire to have their stone or hardwood flooring, carpeting and or banister railings protected from accidently being scuffed or, potentially, damaged, over the course of their move. Incidents of this nature do occur from time to time, although rare in their frequency. Taking precautionary steps to protect costly flooring elements is definitely an option consumers should consider adding to their contract. BPM can satisfy such requests for those who've contracted us to facilitate their move, through the use of special materials crew members apply as a protective covering, over the top of specific flooring and or staircase railing elements.

Full Protection Option = $110.00 |
Carpet Only Protection Option = $79.00 |
Note: Use of a Protection Option is invoiced as an additional line item on the customer's final bill. This option is most often used to protect the "move to" building (and applied to the immediate office area). The cost is doubled if the customer requires protection for, both, the "move from" & "move to" buildings. These costs remain separate and apart from contracted Moving Plan costs, as selected by the customer (see plan descriptions, below).
The Hourly Plan
Low impact jobs, relative to weight, dimensions, and quantity of items to be moved are best served using this offering. This plan is intended for requirements that include relocating a small number of office-related items from one floor to another or from one building to another (i.e., easily managed furnishings/equipment/paintings/plants/boxes).
We can also accommodate requests to transport "loaded" standard-sized pallets (e.g., 5K LBS. capacity) between warehouse locations with or without the use of an elevated loading dock. Typically, these jobs are serviced using 2 to 4-man crews, however, this may not always be the most effective way to manage a given relocation. For example, you may have an office environment that is relatively small but includes a "cookie-cutter' furniture layout that includes over-sized desks, credenzas, PC workstations, tables and chairs that populate each office (i.e., law firms are typical of such layouts.). In many instances, these type environments require extensive disassembly and reassembly before the job can be completed. Aside from possibly being a time-consuming job, it may turn out that a given job is unsafe for, even, a 3 or 4-man crew to effectively handle (i.e., our crews are good but sometimes common sense tells us more manpower is needed).

* Jobs scheduled exclusively on a "Holiday" will be billed at 25% above the published rates
The timer starts as soon as our crew arrives at your doorstep and elapses when all items have been unloaded from the truck and moved into the customer's premise. As noted earlier, all necessary pads/wrapping materials are provided free of charge to the customer. In addition to the rates noted above, this plan also imposes a standard roundtrip Fuel/Usage charge component, as calculated from where our truck is parked, in Mission Viejo. A minimum fuel/usage charge of $50.00 is charged for jobs performed, within a 3-mile radius of Mission Viejo’s city limit.
Cancellation Policy: If the customer cancels without providing a minimum "48-hour notice of cancellation" prior to the job's previously reserved start time, and the company has not collected a pre-paid deposit for scheduling said work, the customer agrees to pay BEST PRICED MOVING a cancellation fee equivalent to 30% of the estimated time, as reflected on their quoted job. The penalty, as stated above, will be waived if the customer formally agrees, at the time of cancellation, to reschedule their job, for another agreeable date with BPM, exclusively.
The Flat-Rate Plan
Larger-sized commercial relocation projects are normally managed through our Flat-rate program. Use of this plan requires an on-site visit to the customer's facility where one or more of our estimators conducts a comprehensive walk-through together with the customer's representative. This important step allows us to gain a clearer understanding of the job's requirements, including the customer's expectations before executing a flat-rate contract between our two companies. An all-inclusive pricing quotation is prepared and delivered to the customer, following the site visit. It's important to note that certain jobs, depending on individual requirements, are more cost-effectively managed using flat-rate pricing, as opposed to an hourly-based rate. Some of the most common reasons companies use a flat-rate service include:
* Jobs scheduled Exclusively on a "Holiday" will be billed at 25% above the published rates
If an on-site visit is not possible we can still generate a quote, as long as the customer is prepared to send us an e-mail, detailing all of the job's key elements (photos of each room/office impacted by the move is helpful). In such cases, a follow-up telephone call may be necessary, in order to clarify any lose ends. Once the customer and BEST PRICED MOVING have agreed to a Flat-rate cost there can be no deviation from the agreed schedule, on moving day. Our biggest concern would any type of unplanned activity that causes us to diverge from the "fixed" plan and schedule.
If the customer cancels and fails to provide a minimum "48-hour notice of cancellation" prior to the job's previously reserved start time, and the company has not collected a pre-paid deposit for scheduling said work, the customer agrees to pay BEST Priced Moving a cancellation fee equivalent to 33% of the originally contracted Flat-rate Plan amount.
The Long Distance Plan
A move project, where BPM’s staff must travel to a distant location, and which necessitates a combined total of more than twelve (12) hours and 360 roundtrip miles to complete is managed much more cost-effectively through use of The Long-Distance Plan. Note that use of this plan requires an overnight stay, at a local hotel, in the destination city. We must conduct a thorough discussion with the customer of key expectations, including items being moved, quantities/sizing characteristics, disassembling/ reassembly needs, number of trucks to be used, including whether additional stops are necessary (e.g., pick-up/drop-off and or move into a distant storage facility). This important dialogue between BPM and the client not only allows us to gain a better understanding of the job's requirements, but, just as importantly, enables us to structure a fair and equitable price while, simultaneously, aiding us in how to best service the client’s long-distance move.
An all-inclusive price quotation, also referred to as a blended-rate plan is subsequently prepared and delivered to the client, within 48 hours of completing the 2-way dialogue process. It’s important to understand that this “Blended Method” for costing out a long-distance move results in a considerably lower-priced solution for the client when compared to BPM’s standard Hourly Plan. Central to this plan is the reduced rate that’s applied to the portion of a long-distant trip we refer to as “Drive Time” (again, this is priced considerably lower than our standard “portal-to-portal” rates).
Once the customer and BEST PRICED MOVING agree to an all-inclusive price for proposed services there cannot be any deviation from the “contracted” plan, on the appointed moving day. This includes any type of unplanned activity, as initiated by the customer that causes unexpected delays and or a need to diverge from same. Contracted work plans assume the roadway and or weather conditions will not cause unexpected delays or natural disasters that we may, otherwise, be subjected to, while in the process of moving a given customer’s goods. If such delays occur through no fault of our crew, your final billing may be subject to change (i.e., we check projected weather and road conditions prior to agreeing to terms).
Cancellation Policy: If the customer cancels without providing a minimum "48-hour notice of cancellation" prior to the job's previously reserved start time, and the company has not collected a pre-paid deposit for scheduling said work, the customer agrees to pay BEST PRICED MOVING a cancellation fee equivalent to 30% of the estimated time, as reflected on their quoted job. The penalty, as stated above, will be waived if the customer formally agrees, at the time of cancellation, to reschedule their job, for another agreeable date with BPM, exclusively.
