What Is "Grace Volume" and Why It Matters
Grace volume is Movd's built-in buffer that prevents surprise charges. Traditional movers like Sea-Air 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 Sea-Air 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
