A moving company charges per box instead of hourly, raising the price from $9 to $11 per box. This small increase feels less noticeable to customers than a rate hike, and crews can work carefully without time pressure.

Packing. So we charge per box for packing, right? Meaning if it was an hourly rated move, and let's say we were doing it all on the same day, we'd say we're gonna send you out, you know, the crew, they're gonna come, they're gonna pack everything for you. We charge for packing by the box. This way we could take our time, we could pack everything, you know, with care. And you don't feel like we're, you know, dragging our feet, taking our time. And we build in the labor and material into the cost of the box. So for example, a 1.5 box, a book box was $9, right? Then I was like, you know what, let's make it $11. And across the board, everything went up like that. So, you know, whatever you charge for packing, can you increase that by a dollar, two, three, whatever it might be, where can you increase for packing?
