*Important Notice to
Consumers Utilizing
Public Movers
Telephone estimates
are not permitted
and the mover must
make a visual survey
of your goods before
an estimate is
prepared. This
estimate must be in
writing and a copy
given to you. To get
a reasonably
accurate estimate
you must show the
estimator everything
you intend to ship. An estimate is not a
bid nor a contract,
and choosing the
public mover
submitting the
lowest estimate will
not assure you the
lowest cost move. Regardless of any
estimate, the actual
weight of goods and
the amount of
packing or other
accessorial services
performed by the
public mover or the
actual time involved
will determine the
final amount you
must pay for your
move. Some movers
change additional
fees, such as
"travel time", etc. Be sure to ask for
all additional costs
when you are given
an estimate for your
move. Public movers
cannot determine
exactly what your
move will cost until
the move is
completed (in the
case of hourly rate
moves) or until the
shipment is weighed
(in the case of
weight-based moves).
