3 Tips for Comparing Moving Quotes

by | Nov 11, 2018 | Moving, Packing, Storage

Are you comparing apples to apples?

Comparing moving quotes from different movers can be overwhelming. We wanted to give you a few pointers to assist you during the process.

  1. Make sure you are comparing “Apples to Apples”.

Not all companies use the same method for calculating their quotes, which can make it very confusing when trying to compare them. The different ways that companies charge are by the hour, by weight, or by the piece. Make sure you are comparing an estimate that charges by the hour to another estimate that charges by the hour.

 

  1. Make sure that you receive your quote in writing.

It is okay to get information and quotes over the phone as long as it is followed up with an email of the quote or provided to you in writing.

 

  1. Make sure that each quote consists of all the details of your move, including the items you are moving.

It is easy to look at only the prices at the bottom of the quotes and base it on that alone. BE CAREFUL. Anything that is included in your move should be listed on the estimate including the detailed inventory, packing of boxes, stairs, etc. If it is not listed on your quote, then it is not accounted for in the price and your price may increase on the day of the move. So, make sure EVERYTHING is listed on the quotes you are comparing.

These are just some quick pointers to help you navigate through the process of finding a moving service. If you have any questions or concerns about the quote you received from our company or any other company, we will be more than happy to help clarify any items and translate any moving jargon.
