When you reach out to movers, they’ll provide you with a free moving quote. Having a moving estimate can help you ballpark your expenses if you choose to use that company. That said, there are several different kinds of moving quotes a company might use.
A non-binding quote means your costs are subject to change — even at the last minute.
A binding quote means movers are obligated to stick to their estimate. However, expenses could fluctuate to a specified percentage if changes are made to your move, such as adding more boxes or another piece of furniture.
With a ‘binding not to exceed’ quote, you’ll receive a maximum amount that your bill won’t go over. But if your belongings are lighter than expected, you’ll only pay for the actual cost.
