The “extras” that many moving companies charge for are things like taking large furniture apart to get it out of the house and into the new home and then putting it back together. Crating of fragile and valuable items is commonly an extra charge. Having to hoist a piano down six floors from your apartment will likely cost more as well. And, if you’re household goods will be in storage for a period of time before you can move into your new home that will also cost more money.
