The Problem with "Ballpark Estimates"
One of the most common complaints in the moving industry is the sudden price increase when the truck arrives at the new home. Unscrupulous operators offer low phone quotes only to add extra fees for stairs, long carries, heavy items, and fuel surcharges on moving day.
What is a Binding Moving Quote?
A binding quote is a legally binding contract where the mover guarantees the final price based on the inventory and route agreed upon before moving day. The number on the quote is the exact number on the invoice — period.
Questions to Ask Before Hiring Any Mover
- Is this quote binding and all-inclusive?
- Are fuel, travel time, and equipment (dollies, blankets, straps) included?
- Are your movers covered by WSIB and full cargo liability insurance?
- What happens if there are delays on the highway or elevator wait times?
