When you move and you wan to hire a moving company, moving quotes is one of the criteria in choosing the best moving company that perfectly matched your needs. What is a moving quote? A quote is the estimated cost to move your things. It is usually given by moving companies when you request them to give you an estimated figure on how much it will cost you to pay them when you move. You have two types of moving quotes. The first one is binding. A representative from the moving company will visit your home, he will check on your things and furniture that need to be moved. He will give you a quote, which is more of a legal contract. It cannot be changed, unless extra services will be added. The second type is the non binding. The non binding moving quote is just a price estimation of the moving company to move your things. It is not considered legal. Both, you and the moving company do not have to honor it because prices could change after your moving, depending on your furniture. When you reach your price estimation, the price could actually go up. There are many moving quotes that are considered scams. You need to be careful. Some companies usually give you a very low moving quote to bait you to hire them. So, make sure to be clear when dealing or asking for a moving quote.
