Tips for your Moving Quote
- In the US, interstate movers must follow federal rules on estimates — say whether yours is binding, non-binding or not-to-exceed.
- Base the quote on an inventory (walkthrough, video or list) and say that significant changes will change the price.
- List access issues — stairs, long carries, elevators, parking permits — as they affect time.
- Explain valuation options in plain terms; basic liability coverage is often far below an item's value.
Frequently asked questions
What is a binding moving estimate?
A binding estimate guarantees the price for the listed items and services. A non-binding estimate can change based on the actual weight or time.
How do movers calculate a quote?
Local moves are often hourly by crew size; long-distance moves are typically based on weight or volume and distance, plus packing and extras.
Should movers ask for a deposit?
Many do to reserve the date. State the amount, whether it is refundable, and how it is deducted from the final bill.
