Moving with Three Movers guarantees some of the most affordable Lancaster commercial moving rates. We’re a company that believes in fair moving, no matter the moving budget or size of the move. The formula we use to calculate Lancaster moving costs is pretty simple. Generally, moves are priced based on:
- Distance- Mileage plays a huge role in how much you end up paying for your move. Local, or short-haul moves fall within a 50-mile radius of the start location and are usually cheaper than long-distance moves. A move to the next town or city over is much cheaper than moving across the country.
- Move date- Like most industries, the moving industry experiences seasons of fluctuations in demand, and thus, moving costs. Summer is the peak season, and of course, demand skyrockets. Prices rise, and eventually level off as Fall approaches. Moving during the Winter months is usually cheaper than any other time of year.
- Size- Expect to pay more for a larger move and less for a smaller move. Larger moves require more time to complete and call for larger moving crews and advanced logistics. They may even require multiple moving trucks and specialized equipment to complete.
- Complexity- Some moves are more complicated than others in nearly every sense. Consider a first-floor small office move versus an entire corporate office building. One is much more straightforward while the other will require more effort on the part of the movers. Obstacles such as narrow hallways and stairs also make moving tasks more complex.
- Additional moving services- These include all moving services that don’t fall under the standard moving experience (loading/unloading service, moving truck rental, and mover/driver hire). Some of these include furniture relocation, auto transport services, storage solutions, extra movers, I.T. equipment relocation, and more. These add additional charges to your moving bill.
Heavy/Oversize Equipment Transport
Moving heavy/oversize equipment requires the assistance of licensed professionals, no exceptions. Attempting to take on such moves yourself can result in damage to hard-to-replace equipment and machinery, injury to movers, and even fines from local authorities.
We dispatch a team of experts along with specialized tools and equipment to accommodate moves of all sizes. Leave the packaging and custom crating up to us. Our local experts even handle disassembly/reassembly, so save yourself the trouble of hiring a second team of experts!
Small Office Moves
Not every move will require a large moving team, special equipment, and multiple moving trucks. Some moves only need a few helping hands and a well-thought-out moving plan. Usually, these are smaller moves such as office and retail moves.
We provide affordable full-service moving options to cover the moving process from start to finish. Just let us know where and when, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Storage Solutions
Need a clean, secure storage unit for your belongings? Now, you can sign up for short and long-term storage solutions at the same time as your commercial move! No storage needs are too large or too small. Once you have the need, we’ll find the most ideal option for your business!
Expedited Moving Services
If you have a tight deadline, Three Movers can help get you there sooner. The sooner you sign up for moving services, the more likely we’ll be able to meet all your moving needs!

These protections apply whether relocating within the city or coordinating a broader interstate moving service across state lines.
