What Is "Grace Volume" and Why It Matters
Grace volume is Movd's built-in buffer that prevents surprise charges. Traditional movers like Big John's Moving Inc estimate your volume, but if you have slightly more stuff, they hit you with overage fees on move day. Movd's packages include grace volume to absorb minor differences:
Economy: 20 cu ft
If estimate is 100 cu ft, you're covered up to 120 cu ft at no extra cost
Preferred: ~25% grace
If estimate is 200 cu ft, you're covered up to 250 cu ft at no extra cost
Premium: ~50% grace
If estimate is 300 cu ft, you're covered up to 450 cu ft at no extra cost

Why NYC Movers Choose Flat-Fee Packages Over Hourly Rates
These customers researched traditional movers but chose Movd's package system instead
"Premium package for my luxury 2BR was incredible. Senior crew handled my artwork and furniture with care, 50% grace volume meant zero stress, $150 packing credit covered all supplies. Flat-fee: $1,340. Worth every penny."
Amanda S.

"The package system eliminates all the traditional moving headaches. Chose Economy, got a great crew nearby, move done in 3.5 hours. Paid $620 flat - no 'we took longer than expected' charges. This is how moving should work."
Kevin M.
