Many people make the error of providing just the size of their house (number of bedrooms) or storage unit to their prospective movers. Unless you take the time to prepare a detailed item by item list for the mover you will receive only a rough estimate that may change considerably at the day of the move. We recommend that you go room by room with an inventory check list and mark all items of furniture. Don’t forget to estimate the number of boxes to be packed in each room (either by you or the movers). No one can know the exact amount of boxes but it’s essential to include an approximation in your inventory list. Try to count a few additional boxes for each room just to be on the safe side. You can always contact your mover to adjust the number of boxes and your price as the date of the move gets closer and you are fully packed. Once you have the detailed list, its important to provide all movers with it. Compare carefully the methods used to calculate your price (see understanding your moving price article) to make sure you understand all the various bids. text/html 2005-11-01T02:06:39+01:00 http://www.guaranteedpricemoving.com http://www.guaranteedpricemoving.com/content/view/3/60/ One final, binding, guaranteed moving prices for your moving services! No more stress, no more going through the yellow pages and trying to sort out the good long distance packing materials (packing_supplies.htm) moving services and will ship your belongings nation wide. What makes us different from all the other moving companies? We give you a flat, guaranteed price for your move! When the moving advice (resources.htm) Finding honest Long Distance Moving Companies is difficult. Most moving companies will provide you a moving estimate that will not be your final price for your moving services. Moving prices will be based on weight which means that you do not know how much you will charge at the end since they gave you only an estimate . Our company is the one to choose if you are interested in relocation services that are priced in advanced. GuaranteedPriceMoving.com was established because of the growing distrust between consumers and the moving industry. We felt that we can create a system that will be fair both for the customer and for the moving company. A system that will be easy to use and will provide the customer with a guaranteed price. GuaranteedPriceMoving.com will help guide you through all the steps necessary in order to have a stress free move: Beginning with planning your move, providing you with moving tips, (resources.htm) packing tips (packing_tips.htm), storage services, auto shipping, (quickcarform.htm) and most importantly a Final Guaranteed Price.It is a known fact that most moving companies will provide estimates and not binding moving prices so when you try to choose between all the moving companies out there we wanted you to be aware of the different moving prices you can get. To emphasize the difference between an Estimate and a Guaranteed (price) from all long distance moving companies out there we looked for their definitions at dictionary.comGuaranteed (price) A pledge that something will be performed in a specified manner. To express or declare with conviction. Secured by written agreement.Estimate – “To calculate approximately. A statement of the approximate cost of work to be done”.As the date of your move is getting closer you will be flooded with various offers from moving companies. Some of you may feel confused and even frustrated with the confusing offers and amounts you are receiving. Here are some explanations about the way in which the prices are calculated by the moving companies and the difference between a flat quoted price (like the one we can provide you with) and an estimate: most offers you received are estimates only, which mean the mover gave you a price based on weight or cubic feet that can change at the day of the move. If you are not a mover it is extremely difficult for you to understand the terms by which the mover will charge you. Some moving companies may claim that the same items used in their quote estimate are for are heavier or bulkier and therefore you need to pay more ! If you receive a price based on cubic feet, many times you are at the mercy of the mover and depend on how efficiently he packs the truck for you. Many people are lured by low weight and cubic feet estimates not realizing that the mover can charge you for actual weight or cubic footage at the day of the relocation.Very few moving companies will agree to give you a guaranteed moving quote (http://www.movingclicks.com/) like we do and the reason for this is very simple: a guaranteed price based on your inventory means that you as a customer are in complete control of the relocation, it means that your price cannot change as long as you provide us with correct information and that instead of using confusing terms like weight or cubic feet you are using terms which both you and the mover understand and can communicate about. In other words getting a guaranteed quote means that the mover cannot overcharge you.Moving companies do not want you to have such clarity simply because they want to have the chance to charge you more at the day of the move. On average movers using an estimate only method will charge you between 50% to 80% more than what they originally quoted you. GuaranteedPriceMoving.com is the industry leader among premier moving companies that can offer you a true flat rate. When comparing prices remember that there is a big difference between a flat rate (such as we offer) and an estimate. The only way to ensure pleasant and stress free moving experience is receiving one flat price that will not change when the movers show up.
