Why do you think one guy might charge $400, and the other $125?
When one of my trucks pulls up out front, you're looking at about $100,000 worth of equipment, two guys with several years of experience, complete background checks, and several million dollars worth of liability insurance. We also have specialized equipment, some of it custom built, to ensure a move that results in no damage to the safe or your property, or injury to yourself or my employees.
I wouldn't even start my truck for $125.
With that said, I have charged several thousand dollars to remove gun safes off of collapsed stairways where the $125 guys were attempting a delivery. Of course their insurance policies didn't cover my charges since there were no policies in the first place.
Moving safes is dangerous work. This isn't an area that you want to go cheap. Just because somebody sells them doesn't make them a pro either, which is why most gun safe retailers in our area use us for their delivery work.
Average cost for a gun safe delivery would range from $250 to $400 depending on stairs, yards, etc. I think our record for a gun safe move was $2,500.
We did this one a few weeks ago. Think the $125 guy has a toy like this parked out back?
