Moving to a new home can be a complicated process, even if you’re only traveling a short distance. Even so, many people who make local moves think they don’t need help. Trying to tackle the job yourself can lead to problems ranging from missed days at work to broken or missing items. According to the Honolulu movers at M. Dyer & Sons of Pearl City, HI, hiring a team of professionals for a local move ensures all of your items are moved on time and are relocated safely to their new destination.

When you choose M. Dyer & Sons to be your Honolulu movers, here are a few things you need to know about standard moving prices:

• Regulations: All local moving on the Island of Oahu is regulated by the State of Hawaii Public Utilities Commission. As such, all M. Dyer & Sons’ drivers and professional movers have received the necessary certification and permits in order to safely transport your belongings.
• Hourly Charges: Local moves are priced by the hour; this includes all vehicle travel and labor performed by movers. The clock begins the moment the M. Dyer & Sons crew leaves the warehouse and stop once they return. Standard rates are applied Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Any work performed outside this period, or on a weekend or holiday, will be charged as overtime.
• Packing: While many clients may prefer to pack their belongings themselves to keep costs low and stay organized, M. Dyer & Sons does not assume liability for these particular boxes. In the event that packing damage does occur, they suggest letting their professional movers pack any fragile, heavy, or highly-valued items so they will be insured. If you require packing services, all utilized materials will be charged in addition to labor costs. Depending on the size of the cartons, these costs can range from $3.40 to $10.00 per carton.
