How are heavy items priced?

Heavy items (china cabinets and hutches, workout equipment, gun safes, large armoires and entertainment centers, sleeper sofas and large sectionals) are $50–$250 each, depending on weight, floor/stairs, height/size, and whether it's antique or fragile.

Do I have to sign a damage waiver?

Yes. Before you pay, you review and e-sign our Release & Damage Waiver.
