How much would it cost to have people move your safe.

I will be starting my full-time job this summer and I need a safe. I was curious how much it woul cost to move a safe if I was transferred to another location.

My company is payng for relocation, but for example, lets just say they wouldnt pay to relocate it.

I know the costs all depends on the distance, so what do you do? Sell the safe locally and buy a new one?

Please tell me some of your experiences with moving gun safes.

This is covered repeatedly here.  Cost range from $0-$1000 for a single floor install depending on height, weight, distance, steps, and amount of beer you supply.  A true safe with serious weight costs more.  Stairs cost more.  Do a google search like this one.. Google Search - ar15.com cost move safe

I moved my 1500 lb safe from one house to another in the back of my pickup for free with 2 guys.  Well it did cost lunch and a beverage.

Usually they charge about $150/hr while its moving, while it's in the truck its a delivery charge. So the location of the safe is important. It would be much different moving a safe from a house to a house both on the first floor. If you have to go up a flight of steps it will get trickier.

Thanks, I think will buy one and if I have to move to a different state I will just sell it and buy a new one. (or see if my employer will pay for relocation of my safe)

It would depend on weight and stairs.

Are you in the BCS area?  If so, I can probably give you some referrals.

I am in BCS and will be moving to Waco for my full time job. I have not purchased a safe yet so I don't need a moving service right now. I just wanted to have an idea of the cost incase I ever get relocated.

Thanks for the offer though!
