Yes, there are several common extra fees and hidden costs that you should be aware of before booking a move in Calgary. The local movers generally charge on an hourly basis for two movers and one truck. The final cost may increase due to an additional charge for a specific service. These additional charges could be from stair fees, heavy items, fuel fees, furniture assembly and disassembly fees. The other factors which increase the charges include booking an urgent move,  booking in peak season and other storage fees. To avoid getting surprised by these charges, you should ensure that the quote includes all potential fees. 

You should usually pay for your move only when all of your items are delivered to your new home and are unpacked properly.

If you found your items damaged during a move or after that, you should immediately document the damage with photos and notes and report it to the moving company within 24 to 48 hours of the move.

Most importantly, never throw away your damaged item, as it may need to be inspected. 

It’s your own choice, if you are satisfied with the work of the mover, it is suggested to tip them a little. Giving tips helps them to keep motivated. Tip is not necessarily, but is appreciable for the movers.
