The Clock Keeps Running on Business Moving

and So Does the Uncertainty

For a small business, a move is time you're not open, and hourly movers bill for every minute of it. A slow elevator or a long drive, and the cost goes up while your doors stay closed.

Wall clockThat's a lot of uncertainty for a small business.

Red Cat does it differently.

We agree on the price before we start, so you know the cost and when you'll open again.

Hourly vs. Flat Rate

Why Let the Clock Decide What You Pay?

Small-business moves usually happen after hours or over a weekend, when hourly rates go up. Our flat rate is the same number whenever the move happens.

Dana K. was moving a bike shop from Takoma Park to a new space in Silver Spring, and every day closed was a day without sales.

  • The challenge

    Closed means no sales

    The move had to fit between two business days.

    Closed Wednesday
    5 PM
    Open Thursday
    10 AM
    Business days lost
    0

    A shop that is closed earns nothing. Dana wanted to sell on Wednesday in Takoma Park and sell again on Thursday in Silver Spring, with no day lost in between. That left one evening and one early morning for everything: 40 bikes, the fixtures and 46 boxes.

  • The challenge

    40 bikes, 12 trailers, 7 racks

    Stock that fills a truck before it weighs it down.

    Adult bikes
    28
    Youth bikes
    12
    Trailers and racks
    19

    The stock was 28 adult bikes, 12 youth bikes, 12 bicycle trailers and 7 bike racks. Together they took 795 of the move's 1178 cubic feet, about two thirds of the space, for only 1765 of its 4661 pounds. Bikes are light and awkward, and they fill a truck long before they weigh it down, so the count had to be exact.

  • The challenge

    Fixtures that come apart

    Shelving, desks and 18 cabinets.

    Metal shelving units
    4
    Cabinets
    18
    Desks and chairs
    4 + 4

    Four metal shelving units had to be taken apart and put back together in the new shop. The four computer desks were pressboard, which is fragile once it is lifted, and the four computer chairs needed assembly at the other end. Ten bottom cabinets and eight top cabinets came along too.

  • The challenge

    A dock, an alley, a landlord

    A carry at both ends and a certificate first.

    Old shop
    Loading dock
    New shop
    Back alley
    Carry, each end
    20–75 ft

    The old shop loaded from a loading dock and the new one from a back alley. At both addresses the truck could get no closer than 20 to 75 feet from the door, so all 135 items were carried that distance twice. The landlord also wanted a certificate of insurance before the crew could work in the building, so it was sent ahead of move day. The estimate listed the dock, the alley and both carries, so they were in the flat rate from the start.

How we did it

Our ApproachWednesday 5 PM to Thursday 9 AM

One inventory, one price, and a crew that started when the shop closed.

  • Our approach

    Inventory, item by item

    135 items, 46 boxes packed by the shop.

    We listed the shop line by line: 28 adult bikes, 12 youth bikes, 12 trailers, 7 racks, 4 desks, 4 chairs, 18 cabinets and 4 shelving units, plus 46 boxes. Dana's side packed those boxes, which kept packing labor and materials off the estimate. The dock, the back alley and the carry at each end went on the same list.

    Price level
    Economy

    The inventory came to 1178 cubic feet, which fits one 26-foot truck in one trip, with a crew of three. That Wednesday was an Economy day, one of the lower-priced days of the month, so moving midweek after closing was also the cheaper way to do it.

  • Our approach

    Loaded Wednesday, set Thursday

    Fixtures last in, so they came out first.

    The crew started when the shop closed on Wednesday. The 4 metal shelving units came apart, and the desks, chairs and all 18 cabinets were blanket wrapped, 26 pieces. Fixtures went into the truck last so they came off first. By 6:30 on Thursday morning the shelving and cabinets were going up in the new shop, the bikes followed, and the crew was gone before the first customer.
