What should I check before comparing quotes?
If your quote is below this range: verify whether the quote is binding or non-binding. Non-binding 'estimates' can come in significantly higher on moving day; binding quotes lock the price for the agreed scope. If your quote is above this range: ask for an itemized breakdown of labor hours, truck and fuel charges, packing materials, and any long-carry, stair, or elevator fees. These are common surprise add-ons.
