Terms of service

These terms cover your use of this site and the moving services West Michigan Moving Company performs for Grand Rapids, MI and the surrounding West Michigan region. We keep them in plain English on purpose. By requesting a quote or booking a job, you agree to what’s below.

Quotes and the written flat rate

Every binding estimate we send is in writing and signed by Hanna or Derek. The price on that estimate is the price you pay unless you add inventory, add stops, or change the date after we lock the truck — in which case we re-quote in writing before new work begins. We don’t bill hour-creep or surcharges that weren’t on the signed estimate.

Cancellation and rescheduling

  • 72 hours or more before your date — full deposit refund.
  • 24 to 72 hours — deposit held as credit toward a booking within 12 months.
  • Inside 24 hours — deposit forfeited, since we’ve turned away other jobs to hold your slot.

Liability and cargo coverage

Released-value coverage at $0.60 per pound per article is included on every job at no charge. Full-value protection is available on request, and we can write up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment for high-value loads — ask in advance. Claims carry a nine-month filing window.

Items we do not move

By federal rule and common sense, we don’t transport loaded firearms, propane tanks, gasoline, fireworks, perishable food, live plants on interstate runs, or cash and jewelry. Set those aside and keep them on you.

Access and parking

You’re responsible for making sure the truck can reach the door at both ends — or telling us in advance if it can’t, so we can plan a shuttle or hand-carry. We plan around lake-effect winter timing at no charge. Permit parking in downtown or historic-district blocks is your responsibility unless we agree otherwise in writing.

Site use and governing law

The content on this site — service descriptions, area pages, pricing tables — is ours; please don’t republish it on a competitor’s site, though you’re welcome to link to any page. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan.

A note from Derek

I launched West Michigan Moving Company in 2015 on one rule that hasn’t changed: the number we put in writing is the number you pay — nothing sprung on you at the curb. Every move runs on our own trucks with a crew I hired and trained myself.

Whether it’s a one-bedroom near downtown Grand Rapids or a full house heading clear across West Michigan, you get the same steady crew and the same written flat rate. That kind of consistency is what keeps West Michigan families passing our name to their neighbors.

Questions? Answered.

The questions Grand Rapids homeowners ask us most.

Are you an actual mover, or a broker?

Yes — West Michigan Moving Company is a fully licensed and insured Grand Rapids, MI moving company. We run our own trucks and a uniformed crew on every job, backed by Michigan household-goods mover authority plus US DOT and MC authority.

What does a local Grand Rapids move run?

A local Grand Rapids-area move runs $149/hour for two movers and a truck, or $199/hour for three — blankets, dollies, shrink-wrap and basic COI prep are included. We lock a flat, written price before we load, so nothing changes at the curb.

How far ahead should I lock a date?

Booking two or three weeks ahead usually lands you the date you want for a local move. Summer weekends and month-end closings fill first, and lake-effect snow can tighten winter dates — send your details and we’ll hold your spot.

What kinds of moves do you take on?

Everything from Heritage Hill Victorians and downtown Grand Rapids lofts to ranch homes out in the townships — apartments, whole-home, senior downsizing, office, piano and specialty, plus long-distance runs on US-131 and I-96.
