How To Spot A Lowball Estimate From Movers

Dec 27, 2011 -

If you're not a veteran of the trade and aren't in the know when it comes to hiring professional movers, then you may have a bit of a difficult time knowing how to spot a lowball estimate from moving companies. That's because these types of estimates can look like they're coming from an established moving company. However, if you're in the market for a new moving company, the below information will help you recognize a lowball estimate for the job that you need done.

One thing to be aware of is that some companies offer "in house" estimates for their movers. This is when the movers contact the moving company before the move. These types of estimates will typically be less expensive than moving estimates from the moving company because the moving company will be helping out the movers with their needs. But, you should still take a look at the lowball estimate carefully. This may mean that the movers aren't getting their fair share of the moving job.

Another thing to be aware of is that the movers aren't always the most trustworthy type of movers. This means that they may be offering a lower rate because they are using their connections to get the job done. That can be a pretty serious issue. It's important to know that your moving company will do their part in helping you get the job done well.

Finally, it's important to note that there are some companies that will offer you a lowball estimate even if they can't do the job well. If the company has some extra work to do that the other movers aren't able to do, it may be in their best interest to charge you more for the job. This type of "bargain shopping" can leave you out a few dollars for your move. It's important to realize that this isn't always the case.

When it comes to how to spot a lowball estimate from professional movers, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, it's important to ask plenty of questions of the moving company. This way, you can get a feel for how the movers treat their customers and you can also know if they're worth hiring.

Second, if the lowball estimate you receive seems too good to be true, then it probably is. It's important to know that many companies will only offer lowball estimates in order to get you to sign a long-term contract. These types of contracts will prevent you from requesting for a refund if the move doesn't turn out the way you expected.

Finally, there are a few ways that you can find lowball estimates from professional movers. Here are a few ways that can help you recognize a lowball estimate from moving companies:

- Ask the moving company you're considering about the pricing before the job. - Read the contract closely - See if they will charge you for any unexpected costs - See if there are any hidden fees - Look for other costs that are not stated in the contract - Ask for a written contract - Read the contract closely - Read over the mover's credentials and background - Check with friends and family - Check their references - Don't sign anything until you've read it carefully and that it's absolutely true

Now that you know how to spot a lowball estimate from movers, you're ready to start your hunt for the perfect movers. Look for companies that are experienced, trustworthy, and will be affordable and of good quality. The most important thing to remember when looking for a professional moving company is that you need to have someone who can offer you a good deal. - You don't want to end up with a company that overpriced and not worth the money or who leaves you upset.
