Ways to Ensure That The Moving Estimate Is Close To Accurate

With a bit of awareness as regards the ways of the moving companies, it helps a great deal when you are moving to your new house. The best deal is getting a reasonable moving estimate and then being able to stick to it as closely as possible.

Most people would generally go for a binding estimate and rightly so because it is a flat rate. You do not pay more than what is been quoted. However, the catch is when the estimate is inaccurate. Taking into account a scenario wherein the representative from the moving company comes in for an in-home visual estimate. The inventory has been assessed and a quote put into place which is a binding estimate. What if the inventory is wrong? Meaning a part of the stuff has not been taken into account making the initial estimate void. Eventually, you will have to negotiate a fresh moving estimate which would result in an enlarged quote. Scrutinizing the inventory at the time of assessment and making sure that nothing has been omitted is how to avoid this situation.

Even if you had declined the moving company’s services relating to packaging and you had undertaken to do it yourself, it calls for a measured approach. The moving estimate could just double because of the packaging materials. Many movers have had an expensive experience owing to this. Supposing, you had not packed your stuff on time and sought the help of the moving company on the moving day. You would definitely take into account the boxes and pay for them. You would probably miss out on the packaging tape which would be used in tons by the moving company and attach a huge bill. The tape would have been used on the freshly packed boxes and on those which the moving company thought did not have enough tape. It must have been known that the movers and packers do not load boxes which are not closed. Therefore, it is imperative to ensure that the boxes are properly taped and if the need be, extra rolls of tape should be kept handy.

It pays to plan ahead of time and prepare so as to allow no scope for flouting the ethics of good business on the part of the packers and movers.
