How much does it cost to move a 2-bedroom apartment in Albuquerque?

Why is the Albuquerque price range so wide?
The spread from $325 to $3,000 is driven by volume and access, not luck: cubic feet of furniture, flights of stairs, elevator and COI rules, distance between addresses, packing materials, and how close your date is to the end of the month. That's why an inventory-based bid beats a phone estimate.
