The quoted price for your move is calculated based on the weight
of you belongings and the distance you need to move them. In the
price are also included the packages used and other services
that you might require.
The moving company will give you a moving quote that is based on
the weight they know about and the items they count so you
should help the movers by showing them every single item that
needs to be moved. Look in the garage, basement, attic to make
sure you'll get an estimate as close as possible to the final
price, since every extra item means extra cost.
You should get the moving quotes from at least 3 moving
companies so you can compare prices. Here are some types of
moving quotes: non-binding, binding and not to exceed quotes.
The non-binding quotes are nor bids or contracts, the
non-binding quote is an aproximation of amount you'll have to
pay depending on the mover's survey on the items that will be
moved, the final cost being set after the weight of the shipment
is measured. Even if the price is lower then with binding
quotes, with the non-binding moving quotes there is no guarantee
that the price won't be over the initial estimate.
If a non-binding moving quote is provided, the mover can't ask
you to pay more than 110% of the estimate amount when shipment
is delivered. After your shipment is completed you have 30 days
to make payments for the additional services that were required
or you requested and are over the 110% estimate.
Quite a lot of moving services also provide binding moving
quotes. The binding quote means that you'll have to pay the
estimated price even if the weight of the shipment is more of
less than the estimated one.
The binding estimates cover the services and the goods that were
listed when the estimate is given. Adding items or services
before the items are loaded let's the mover revise the estimate.
Or, if services are required after the shipment is in transit
the price for those services can be paid 30 days after shipment
delivery.
Make sure you make the arrangements for paying for the move. The
charges for the move can usually be paid in cash, by certified
check or money order. You should ask the chosen mover what kind
of payment they accept.
