A binding price, from a survey, before you book.

And we are the ones who show up. Comet is not a broker and your job is never sold to another carrier — which is the single thing that goes wrong most often in this industry.
5
things can change a binding price
All five are on this site with a figure against them. There is no sixth and nothing gets added on the driveway.
The five, with prices
Most moves have none of them. Stairs is the common one, and the survey asks about stairs.
Stairs nobody mentioned
$95 a flight, each end
A third floor walk-up is roughly an extra hour per room. The survey asks and the quote assumes what you said.
A long carry
$85 over 75 feet
From the door to where the truck can legally park. In a city this is sometimes not knowable until the day and we will tell you at the survey if it is a risk.
Items added after the survey
Priced per item
The gym equipment in the garage that was not there in the video. Add it before the day and it is cheaper.
A shuttle
$340
When a full-size truck cannot reach the door and a smaller one has to run between. Named at the survey when it is likely.
Waiting for a lift or a key
$120 an hour after 30 minutes
Building lift bookings and closings that run late. The first half hour is free and most days nothing is charged.
Long distance, in days
Our truck, our crew, door to door. Nothing waits in a warehouse for a load going the same way.
| Lane | Window | Note |
|---|---|---|

| Denver to Chicago | 3 to 5 days | — |
| Denver to Texas | 3 to 5 days | Austin and Dallas most weeks. |
Moving is stressful.
We are not going to tell you otherwise. What we can do is take the price out of the list of things you are worrying about, which is one fewer than you started with.
