The biggest levers on your Arecibo quote:
How many rooms / cubic feet — the single biggest driver of your price.
Local moves are priced per volume; long-distance adds mileage and freight.
Full packing, bulky items and storage add to the base transport cost.
Arecibo is a historic north-coast city and a large regional hub, so a local move stays on the island and is billed by crew hours: a 2BR runs about $3,425 to $4,100 and a 3BR about $4,775 to $5,725. A long-distance move to or from the US mainland is an ocean-freight move, with goods containerized through the Port of San Juan, which lifts a 2BR to roughly $10,375 to $12,450.
Arecibo sits a solid distance west of San Juan along the north coast, so on-island crews and any container transfer both absorb that travel time. As a regional hub the city has good road access, but the run to the Port of San Juan for a mainland move adds hours to the local leg. On the island, that distance shows up in crew hours; for shipped moves, the container still sets the price.
