Getting a successful estimate
Moving Tips – Have you ever encountered a situation where someone who worked for you:
Billed you for repairs you didn’t request?
Charged you significantly more than originally stated?
Withheld an item you asked them to fix unless you paid an additional fee?
Written estimates can safeguard you against such issues. Ensure you obtain one before hiring anyone for tasks like moving, home improvements, vehicle or appliance repairs, or other services.
Once you receive a written estimate, the service provider cannot bill you more than 10 percent over the quoted amount unless you authorize extra work. Additional tasks may incur extra charges, but you shouldn’t be billed for services you didn’t approve.
Moving Tips – Have you ever encountered a situation where someone who worked for you:

WHEN SELECTING A MOVING COMPANY
WHEN SELECTING A MOVING COMPANY
Conduct thorough research on the business to confirm its reliability. Avoid any provider that offers services without including taxes or insists on cash payments, as these are often indicators of questionable practices. If disputes arise regarding terms or payments, enforcing your agreement could become difficult. Carefully review your contract prior to signing to ensure you are comfortable with all stipulations. Make certain that all terms, conditions, and commitments are explicitly outlined in the contract. If a deposit is necessary, try to limit it to between 25% and 50%, which is typically sufficient. For larger or more complicated jobs, a structured payment plan may be appropriate. Always request an invoice
