What Is "Grace Volume" and Why It Matters
Grace volume is Movd's built-in buffer that prevents surprise charges. Traditional movers like OctoMovers 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
Standard Moving Process vs Movd's Package Approach
Traditional movers like OctoMovers quote hourly rates without accounting for variables that trigger upcharges. Movd's packages include grace volume (20 cu ft, ~25%, or ~50% depending on tier), absorbing estimation errors and preventing surprise bills.
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

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
Why NYC Movers Choose Flat-Fee Packages Over Hourly Rates
These customers researched traditional movers but chose Movd's package system instead
"The grace volume is the killer feature. Preferred gives you 25% cushion so minor estimation errors don't cost extra. My move was slightly over estimate but zero additional charges. Traditional movers would've hit me with overage fees."
