Knowing Which Moving Quote Suits Your Moving Needs

Professional moving company, Mover New York, provides reliable moving quotes and moving estimates

It is paramount to choose the quote that suits your moving needs. There are three different types of moving quotes: non-binding, binding and "not to exceed" quotes.

Although you may have to shell out a few more dollars, a professional moving company will take care of the difficult aspects of moving day and thereby prevent any unnecessary hardship on the part of the customer. Before deciding on a specific moving company it is paramount to obtain several moving quotes in writing from different moving companies, for the purpose of effective comparison.

There are three different types of moving quotes: non-binding, binding and "not to exceed" quotes. Here follows a quote-system ranging from most favorable to consumer, to least:

"Not to Exceed": The moving company will calculate the weight of your belongings plus the will-be traveled distance to come up with a moving quote that cannot be exceeded. This means that even if your actual weight is much heavier than the original written estimate, you only pay the original estimate. If your actual weight is less than the estimate, you pay less than the original quote.

Binding: This is a "fixed price" agreement in which you pay the fixed amount of the written estimate, irrelevant of the actual weight. The risk to the consumer is that the estimator could highball the estimate to get extra money for nonexistent weight. The risk to the moving company is that the consumer could turn up extra weight not included in the original quote.

Non-Binding: You pay for the actual weight based on a set price per pound, in which the final cost will be set only after the weight of the shipment has been measured. Depending on the actual weight, the finalized bill could be higher or lower than the original written estimate. If the bill is higher than the estimate, on the date of delivery the mover can collect up to ten percent extra on top of the amount specified in the original quote. Then he is required by law to make full delivery of your goods. By law you must be given at least 30 days to come up with any balance over the original written estimate.
