Do I need an estimate?
Yes, to receive the most accurate cost quote, you will need to have an estimate. An accurate estimate cannot be calculated without a visual survey of the goods to be moved. There is no charge for the estimate. One of our agents will make a pre-move survey of your household goods to be transported in order to determine the approximate cost of your move and the amount of van space your goods will occupy. Your agent will then compute the approximate cost and give you a written Estimate/Order for Service.
Keep in mind that estimates (household goods surveys) are only guidelines. On interstate shipments, you must pay the total charges as determined by the actual weight of your shipment, the distance it travels, and the services that you authorize or which become necessary to handle your shipment.
Charges for local shipments are generally calculated on an hourly basis. There may be a minimum number of hours required.
