Clarity before moving day.

The questions to ask when reviewing the scope of a moving estimate.

Begin with the scope

Check which items, locations and tasks are included. Packing, disassembly, stairs, long carries and waiting time can affect the work involved.

Ask about assumptions

An estimate reflects the information available at the time. Ask how changes to inventory, access or timing would be handled.

Review the written terms

Confirm the payment schedule, cancellation process and applicable liability information before accepting. Ask for clarification whenever something is unclear.

Keep your documents together

Save the agreed estimate, inventory and correspondence in one place. A quote request by itself is not a booking.
