What is the Purpose of a Moving and Storage Quote?

There are services with different prices as well as billable time for distance, how many movers are working, and more. The distance of your move and the overall weight of your belongings affects the price as well.

 

How to Complete an Estimate

Estimates can be completed virtually, over the phone, or in person. You will meet or talk to the movers about the upcoming move, what furniture and objects will need to be moved or packed, logistics, and more. In-home estimates are the most accurate because your mover will be able to come on location and see what is being moved, the challenges of your home or office’s environment, and more.

  • Binding Estimate: The mover will not change the estimate’s price on moving day if there are no additions to the move.
  • Non-binding Estimate: the mover can arrive on the moving day and change the estimate price depending on the unexpected items, time, and services needed.
