Moving is one of the highest-ticket consumer services. A local move runs $1,500–$5,000. A long-distance move costs $5,000–$15,000+. Storage fees, packing services, and specialty item handling add more. When clients pay by card, processing fees take a serious cut.
A $10,000 long-distance move at 3% costs **$300 to process**. For a moving company doing $50,000–$200,000/month in card sales, annual processing reaches **$15,000 to $84,000**.

Why Moving Clients Accept It
- Quotes present both options upfront. Clients see both prices on the estimate before booking.
