Movers.com, an online directory that specializes in professional local moving companies, has updated its guide on binding and non-binding estimates.
—
Intended for Americans looking to relocate to or from Coral Springs, the new guide explores the differences between each type of moving estimate and how they can affect the total cost of a move.

As Movers.com explains, quotes that are provided to customers by professional movers may fall into one of three categories: binding, binding not-to-exceed, or non-binding. These are typically determined during an in-home assessment conducted prior to the move and are based on the estimated total weight of the shipment and the costs of any other moving services required.
For binding estimates, Movers.com says that moving companies must follow certain regulations enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). While customers who receive a binding estimate will know the price of the move in advance, they will not receive any discounts or refunds, even if the total cost is less than what was quoted. Furthermore, Movers.com notes that companies have the right to refuse service and create a revised binding estimate to account for additional items or add-on services not included in the original quote.
Conversely, non-binding estimates are approximate charges that are subject to change. Because they are more flexible, they can be provided over the phone without an in-home assessment. However, Movers.com warns readers that this can leave them open to scams, as fraudulent companies may intentionally provide deceptively low prices that will increase unexpectedly on the day of the move. For this reason, the guide only recommends non-binding estimates for individuals with light shipments.
Finally, in binding not-to-exceed estimates, customers will not pay more than the quoted price, but the service provider will lower the bill in the event that they have overestimated the costs. While uncommon, there are very few disadvantages to these agreements, making them the most favorable choice.
To determine the type of estimate they will receive and avoid scams, Movers.com encourages readers to make detailed inquiries about moving companies before proceeding with their move. Readers in Coral Springs can also find reputable movers through Movers.com, which only includes licensed and insured businesses in its exclusive directory.
