Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move a heavy appliance from San Francisco, CA to San Jose, CA?

For a french-door / side-by-side fridge, expect roughly $155–$215 over the 50-mile move.

Why does distance matter less per mile on long moves?

Long-distance specialty movers often combine multiple items on one truck run, so the per-mile rate drops as the route gets longer — short moves pay a premium for a dedicated trip.

What else changes the price on this route?

Size/weight class of the heavy appliance, how many flights of stairs at pickup or delivery, and how far in advance you can book a truck.
