What we found

Estimate type is not clearly named

“Final cost may change based on actual weight and services performed.”

Why it matters

Interstate estimates can use different price rules. The quote should make the type easy to identify.

Ask the mover

Is this binding, non-binding, or binding not-to-exceed?

Company role is unclear

“We connect customers with licensed transportation providers nationwide.”

Why it matters

A broker arranges a move; a mover transports your goods. Responsibilities are different.

Ask the mover

Are you the household-goods carrier or a broker? What is your USDOT number?

Two possible extra charges are not priced

“Long carry and stair fees may apply. Fuel surcharge determined at pickup.”

Why it matters

Unpriced add-ons make it harder to compare this quote with another company’s total.

Ask the mover

What exact conditions and rates apply to long carry, stairs and fuel?

Helpful detail: pickup window is written down

“Pickup window: September 10–11, between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.”

Why it helps

A written date window gives both sides a concrete detail to confirm before the move.

Still confirm

Ask who will notify you if the pickup window changes.
