1. FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS OF A MOVE
You should never forget the amount of money you have agreed to pay in return for the services of a moving company-it is the debt that will cause problems for you every day from the first day of relocation to the moment in your new property when you finally start to feel how your finances are stabilizing. A price for a moving service is always different for different people depending for instance on how long the distance between the old and the new property is. Every complication in the process of relocation that the moving company will have to go through will cost you money including heavy items, easily breakable items, the packing and unpacking of objects with a difficult to fit shape. Naturally, just like it is the case with every normal buying, there are price quotes and if you want to win a little more money out of the move than you have initially estimated. Require from the moving company as many price quotes as they can give you and you will be able to uncover the cheapest offers out there.
2. PRICE QUOTATIONS
There are always two types of price quotations that could be of good use for you in different ways. Usually they come into play every time you and the person you will sign a contract with start to communicate.
-NON-BINDING PRICE QUOTE
The first type of price quotes is the non-binding one. The name speaks for itself. This is a quotation which is not permanent so it could constantly alter according to the particular situation. Naturally, the reason for it to change won’t be simply because people would like it to change. A price quotation changes only if there are good reasons present. What usually happens is that the price quotes become greater than the initial price after going through the change. It would be wise if you allow a representative of the moving company to come into your property and take a proper look at the belongings that will be taken out because although using this kind of price quote may prove to be cheaper, it most definitely may prove to be exhausting and it might slow down the whole process a lot which eventually will not be helpful to anyone. The main advantage of the non-binding type of price quotations is that it is cheaper even if it more difficult to deal with. The fact that it is less expensive is the main reason why some people prefer it more. Pick this type of quotation if you have time but you are short on money.
-NORMAL PRICE QUOTE
The ordinary price quotation is the other type. The process with this one is a lot simpler. All you have to do is to go to the moving company’s office and to call upon their services. Once you do, they offer you a certain price. The price they give to you can’t change. In addition, there is no opportunity here for you to call on a member of the staff to check your stuff. Naturally, this price quote is a lot easier to use but it will cost a lot more. So choose this one if what you lack is time. This will provide you with a less accurate and in all likelihood a higher price than what you can get with the non-binding estimate but the whole process with the normal quote is much faster.
To sum up, you could choose between the non-binding quote and the normal one. Depending on your financial situation and the time you can spare you should choose one of them.
