Difference Between Binding & Non-Binding Moving Estimates: Pittsburgh Relocation Guide

Binding & Non-Binding Moving Estimates: Pittsburgh Relocation Guide

The experts at Movers.com explain the differences between types of moving estimates in a new guide.

The guide breaks down the terms of binding and non-binding moving estimates. It recommends using a company that surveys your home and belongings inperson for more accurate quotes.

A “binding but not-to-exceed” estimate is best, the guide says. It has a price ceiling, but allows the bill to be reduced if movers overestimated the weight of your belongings.

Binding estimates do not change throughout the move.

You pay the quoted amount if the movers underestimate the weight - but you pay the same if the load ends up being lighter.

Some movers also offer nonbinding estimates, but these over-the-phone estimates make budgeting difficult.

They also leave you vulnerable to bait-and-switch pricing scams.

If you're wary of shady relocation services, you can use Movers.com to find reputable moving companies. Each company is screened and re-checked on a monthly basis.
