What Is "Grace Volume" and Why It Matters
Grace volume is Movd's built-in buffer that prevents surprise charges. Traditional movers like Movers Not Shakers! 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 Movers Not Shakers! 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.

❌
Clock starts when crew leaves their depot - you pay for their travel time

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
