While moving, understanding the ins and outs of moving quotes online is very essential for a 
successful move. 
Moving companies offer three types of moving quotes, non-binding, binding and not to exceed 
moving quotes. By understanding their meaning and disparities, you will be able to make a better 
and more informed decision when you're signing your next moving contract.
The most common quotes are Non-binding quotes as these are neither accurate nor binding 
meaning they are bound to change as per the actual weight of your belongings and any extra 
services that you may require. The main purpose of these quotes is to provide you with a basic idea 
about your moving cost which will help you in making your moving budget. 
When you begin your search for movers using an online moving platform like Moversfolder, you get 
non-binding moving company quotes from various licensed and insured movers. By comparing them, 
you can find movers that match your requirements and are within your budget.
Binding Estimates 
1. A binding estimate means that you are required to pay the stated price 
based on the approximate weight of the customer’s belongings, even if 
the shipment weighs more than or less than the estimate.
2. Binding quotes are provided to you in writing, generally after an in-
home survey and are binding on the carrier.
3. However, if you add up any items later to be moved, or request any 
other extra additional services, then your mover may revise the original 
estimation before your shipment is loaded.
Not to Exceed Moving Quotes Online
1. Binding Not to exceed or Guaranteed not to exceed moving estimates 
are the most popular moving company quotes especially if you are 
moving long distance.
2. Again, this quote is based on the approximate weight of the customer’s 
belongings and provided to you in writing, generally after an in-home 
survey and are binding on the carrier.
3. While you aren't charged extra if the shipment weighs more than 
estimated, however, if the weight of your belongings is less than 
originally estimated, you will only have to pay the cost of shipping for 
the actual weight.
Best Long Distance Moving 
Companies
While hiring the best long distance movers, you should not hire a mover 
based on non-binding quotes as there is no assurance the final cost will not 
be more than the estimate.
While the mover cannot require you to pay more than the amount of the 
estimate, plus 10% at the time of delivery, however, you are required to pay 
any remaining charges within 30 days after your shipment is delivered.
This is why it is always safe to get a binding or not to exceed moving a 
quote in writing before you hire them.
Thank You
