Scheduling A Price Estimate

When it comes time to move, an important step in the process is obtaining a price estimate. Here are some tips to make sure that you get a good estimate from a reputable mover:
-Don’t rely on an estimate or quote provided sight-unseen over the phone or the internet. This is especially important if you are moving from one state to another, as price is determined based on the weight of your shipment as well as the distance that you are moving. Therefore, it is very important that you meet with a representative from the moving company face to face so that you both understand what is involved. 
-During the on-site estimate, make sure to show the representative everything that you will be moving. This includes all items that are in the garage or basement, or somewhere else in storage. 
-Don’t be afraid to ask questions. The estimate should be an open conversation between you and the company representative, who will also be asking you questions regarding your new home, the timing of your move, etc.
-Be leery of quotes from movers that are significantly lower than the rest. Extremely low price quotes could result in a significantly lower quality of service, or could be a sign of a mover who plans to up the price in a bait and switch moving scam. Some rogue movers have been known to take household goods hostage and demand large sums of money before returning the possessions.
