Moving Estimates

Estimates

Estimates - Estimates are an estimation of what you will pay a professional moving company to move your items. They are a vital component of your planning process, as they allow you to make comparisons and find a mover that is right for you. With smaller moves, or moves that are only going a short distance, having an in-home estimate is not always necessary. However, no matter the size, having an accurate in-home estimate is always beneficial.

Questions to Ask Your Estimator - In addition to Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Moving Company, you will also want to ask your estimator further questions and reconfirm some that have already been asked. When receiving the answers to your questions, remember, it is not only the answer that is important; it is also how it has been answered. It is important to leave no stone unturned when it comes to collaborating with an estimator.

Types of Estimates - Before signing any contract with a moving company, it is important to research and understand the differences between the three types of estimates and find which one is right for your move. There are three types of estimates commonly used within the moving industry: Non-Binding, Binding and Binding Not to Exceed. It is required by law that any interstate moving company, provide to their customers an estimate in writing. This estimate is not a contract.
