Bronx High Rise Apartment Movers, Binding Vs Non-Binding Estimates: New Guide

Movers.com announces guide on binding vs non-binding moving estimates for Bronx homeowners looking for local high-rise apartment moves.

North Brunswick Township, United States - October 13, 2023 /PressCable/ —

For readers interested in high-rise apartment movers in Bronx, Movers.com announced a new report on “The Difference Between Binding and Non-Binding Moving Estimates”.

The full report is available at https://www.movers.com/moving-guides/the-difference-between-binding-and-non-binding-moving-estimates.html

An informational website connecting homeowners with pre-screened movers, Movers.com is expanding its resources to address an essential question asked by many on the market for a moving company: the difference between binding and non-binding moving estimates.

The report explains that the nature of the estimates is regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Binding estimates commit the company and homeowners to a set price established based on a pre-move assessment of the weight of the items to be moved, the location of the current and new home, and other factors. The price will have to be paid once the move is complete, regardless of any potential differences.

An advantage of binding estimates is that homeowners know exactly what the cost of the move is beforehand - however, if the move requires fewer resources than initially estimated, there will be no discount once the job is completed, explains the report.

Non-binding estimates, by contrast, will only give an approximate price that may increase or decrease on moving day - which leaves the customer vulnerable to being scammed by movers who deliberately underestimate the cost of the move only to charge an unreasonably high price at the end.

The report recommends asking for a binding not-to-exceed estimate - an option that guarantees the price will not exceed the initial estimate, but allows for potential discounts, if needed. Movers.com suggests getting the estimate in writing, attached to the bill of lading.

Finally, Movers.com emphasizes the importance of doing thorough research before receiving an estimate, to ensure that the quote received is reasonable - and prevent potential scam attempts.

“Familiarizing yourself with the ins and outs of the moving industry and moving terminology before your move will help the process of looking for a moving company go a lot smoother,” explains the report. “That way, when the company arrives at your home to assess your belongings and give you an estimate, you will know exactly what to expect.”
