SOME HELPFUL NOTES

Movers must give written estimates. Customers should keep in mind that there are 2 types of estimates, binding and non- binding. You should never accept a quote over the phone.

ESTIMATE, NON-BINDING - This is what your mover believes the cost will be, based upon the estimated weight of the shipment and the accessorial services requested. A non-binding estimate is not binding on the mover. The final charges will be based upon the actual weight of your shipment, the services provided, and the tariff provisions in effect. You should be aware of how these charges can accumulate: The most common increase comes from grossly UNDER-ESTIMATING the weight of your shipment. LINE HAUL CHARGES - The charges for the vehicle transportation portion of your move. These charges, if separately stated, apply in addition to the accessorial service charges. ACCESSORIAL (ADDITIONAL) SERVICES - These are services such as packing, appliance servicing, unpacking, piano moving or stairs, carries that you request to be performed (or that are necessary because of landlord requirements or other special circumstances). Charges for these services may be in addition to the line haul charges. LONG CARRY - A charge for carrying articles excessive distances between the mover’s vehicle and your residence. Charges for these services may be in addition to the line haul charges. Non-binding estimates are not always accurate; actual charges may exceed the estimate (sometimes double). If your mover provides you (or someone representing you) with any partially complete document for your signature, you should verify the document is as complete as possible before signing it. Make sure the document contains all relevant shipping information, except the actual shipment weight and any other information necessary to determine the final charges for all services performed.

ESTIMATE, BINDING - This is an agreement made in advance with your mover. It guarantees the total cost of the move based upon the quantities and services shown on the estimate. Binding estimates, on the other hand, offer you with a guaranteed price. The price on the estimate is the price you pay, it cannot change, therefore you don’t have to worry about any fine print.

M I B Moving is proud to offer you a binding estimate. We will not give you a quote over the phone. The only way to obtain an accurate estimate is to do an in home evaluation. We guarantee the price will not change.
