Non-Binding Estimate:With a quote based on the weight of the customer’s belongings the moving company gives customers a non-binding estimate. This estimate depends on the actual weight of the move.

It is popular because if you agree to a binding not-to-exceed estimate, you may end up paying less than originally agreed. This type of estimate means that even if the weight of a customer’s shipment exceeds the original estimate, they will not have to pay more. They only need to pay what was originally mentioned. But if the shipment weighs less than originally estimated, they will only have to pay for the cost of the actual shipping weight.

Carry Service: Carry fee often occurs if the distance between your front door and where the moving truck is packed is far.
