What Is "Grace Volume" and Why It Matters
Grace volume is Movd's built-in buffer that prevents surprise charges. Traditional movers like FlatRate Moving 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
Traditional Moving (Hourly Rates) vs Movd Package System
Traditional movers like FlatRate Moving typically charge hourly rates that can spiral unpredictably. Extra time for parking, stairs, or heavier-than-expected items adds up fast. Movd's flat-fee packages with grace volume eliminate this anxiety - you pay what you're quoted, period.
Hourly Rate Model (Traditional)
❌
Clock starts when crew leaves their depot - you pay for their travel time
❌
Every delay (traffic, parking, elevator wait) adds to your bill
❌
Volume estimates often wrong → surprise overage fees on move day
❌
Watching the clock creates stress and rushed handling
❌
Final bill often 20-40% higher than initial estimate
Flat-Fee Package Model (Movd)
Fixed price upfront - what you see is what you pay
Real-time crew matching finds closest available mover
Grace volume included - minor estimate errors cost nothing
No clock-watching - crew takes proper care without rushing
Final bill matches quote - zero surprise charges
