Customer note
Hi Paula, here is how the access charges on your move add up. Your pickup at 6469 Snowleigh St has 2 flights of stairs at $45 each, so $90. At 6848 Starleigh Ave, there is a $60 elevator fee, and because the truck will park about 150 ft from the lobby, there is a $60 long carry charge. That makes $210 in access charges.

Questions for the owner

What do you charge for the Hammond M3 organ? No rate was given, so it is not in the total.
Do you want the note to say the price may change if access on moving day is different from what Paula reported?
Please have the building management at 6848 Starleigh Ave confirm any elevator reservation or other rules for moving day.
