The Moving Estimate Nightmare: My $1,500 Lesson
Let me tell you a story that still makes my blood boil when I think about it.
Last summer, I needed to move from my two-bedroom apartment to a house about 30 miles away. I did what most people do—I googled "moving companies near me," called the first three results, and picked the one with the lowest estimate.
Big mistake.
The company quoted me $850 for everything. Sounded great! I signed the paperwork, put down a deposit, and thought I was all set.
Then moving day arrived.
"There's a problem," the foreman said after walking through my apartment. "You have way more stuff than the estimate accounted for."
"But your estimator saw everything," I protested.
He shrugged. "The stairs will be extra too. And these boxes are heavier than standard. And we'll need to use special equipment for your couch."
By the time they finished, my $850 estimate had ballooned to $2,350—almost three times the original quote!
I felt trapped. My lease was ending. I had nowhere to put my stuff. I had to pay.
That day, I learned a $1,500 lesson about moving estimates. And I'm sharing it so you don't have to learn it the hard way too.
What Are Moving Estimates Really? Understanding the Basics
Before we go further, let's get clear on what moving estimates actually are.
A moving estimate is a professional assessment of how much your move will cost.
It considers things like:
How much stuff you have
How far you're moving
How difficult the move will be (stairs, narrow hallways, etc.)
What services you need (packing, unpacking, etc.)
When you're moving (peak season costs more)
But here's the critical part most people miss: not all moving estimates are created equal.
And understanding the difference could save you thousands.
The Three Types of Moving Estimates You MUST Know
Did you know there are three different types of moving estimates?
Most people don't, and moving companies rarely explain the differences clearly.
1. Non-Binding Estimates: The Dangerous Gamble
A non-binding estimate is exactly what it sounds like—it doesn't bind the company to the price they quote you. It's their "best guess," but the final price will be based on the actual weight, or number of hours, of your items and services provided.
This is what trapped me in my moving nightmare. My estimate was non-binding, buried in the fine print I didn't read carefully enough.
With a non-binding estimate, movers can legally charge you up to 110% of the estimated cost on delivery day.
The rest? They can bill you later.
2. Binding Estimates: Your Price Protection
A binding estimate guarantees the price won't change, even if your stuff weighs more than estimated. The moving company must honor the quoted price as long as you don't add items or request additional services.
This is a much safer option, but moving companies often charge more for binding estimates to cover their risk.
3. Binding Not-to-Exceed Estimates: The Gold Standard
This is the best type of estimate for customers. The final cost cannot exceed the estimate, but it can go down if your items weigh less than expected.
It gives you the security of a maximum price while allowing for potential savings. But it's also the hardest type of estimate to get from moving companies.
At Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving, they offer binding estimates as standard practice.
Why? Because they believe in transparency and building trust with their customers.
When Jae Burnham founded the company in January 2024, he made honest pricing a cornerstone of the business.
The Hidden Costs That Can Double Your Moving Bill
Remember my story?
I got blindsided by charges I never saw coming.
Here's what to watch for in your moving estimate:
Stair Fees
Many movers charge extra for each flight of stairs they have to navigate. This can add $50-$100 per flight to your bill.
Long Carry Fees
If the moving truck can't park close to your door, expect to pay a "long carry fee"—usually charged per 50 or 100 feet the movers have to walk with your items.
Elevator Fees
Yes, some companies charge extra for using elevators, even though they're easier than stairs!
Heavy Item Fees
Pianos, gun safes, pool tables, and other unusually heavy items often incur special handling fees of $100-$500 each.
Packing Material Fees
Some estimates don't include boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and other packing materials, which can easily add hundreds to your bill.
Storage Fees
If your items need to be stored overnight or longer, expect daily storage fees.
Weekend or Holiday Surcharges
Moving on a weekend or holiday? Prepare for a 10-25% surcharge.
At Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving, they believe in upfront pricing.
Their estimates clearly outline any potential additional fees, so you know exactly what you're signing up for. No surprises on moving day—just as it should be.
How Far in Advance Should You Get Moving Estimates?
Timing matters when it comes to moving estimates. Many people wait until the last minute, but that's a costly mistake.
For local moves (under 100 miles), try to get estimates at least 4-6 weeks before your move date. This gives you time to compare options and book the company you want.
For long-distance moves (over 100 miles), start gathering estimates 8-12 weeks in advance. These moves require more planning and coordination.
The busiest moving times are:
Summer months (May-August)
End of months (especially the 30th and 31st)
Weekends
First and last weeks of the month
If you're moving during these peak times, add an extra 2-4 weeks to your planning timeline.

Online vs. In-Home Estimates: Which Should You Trust?
In today's digital world, many moving companies offer online estimates. You enter your information into a form, and they send you a quote.
It's convenient, but is it accurate?
The Truth About Online Estimates
Online estimates are fast and easy, but they're also less accurate. Without seeing your home and belongings in person, movers have to make assumptions about:
How much stuff you have
How heavy it is
How difficult it will be to move
These assumptions often lead to lowball estimates that skyrocket on moving day.
Why In-Home Estimates Are Worth the Time
An in-home estimate takes more effort, but it's far more accurate.
A professional estimator will:
See exactly what needs to be moved
Identify potential challenges (narrow hallways, tight turns, etc.)
Note any items requiring special handling
Measure and weigh (or estimate weight) more accurately
This results in a more precise estimate and fewer surprises later.
Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving offers both online and in-home estimates, but they always recommend the in-home option for the most accurate pricing.
Their professional estimators are trained to be thorough and transparent, identifying potential issues before they become problems.
The 10 Questions You MUST Ask During Your Moving Estimate
When the estimator comes to your home, don't just sit back and let them work.
Ask these critical questions:
1. Is this a binding or non-binding estimate?
The answer will tell you immediately how much you can trust the price they quote.
2. What's included in this estimate?
Make sure you understand exactly what services are covered.
3. What additional fees might apply?
Get a complete list of potential extra charges.
4. How do you handle specialty items?
If you have pianos, artwork, antiques, or other valuable items, make sure they're accounted for properly.
5. What insurance coverage is included?
Standard coverage is usually just $0.60 per pound per item—far less than the actual value of most belongings.
6. What's your cancellation policy?
Life happens. Know what happens if you need to change plans.
7. How will payment be handled?
Know when deposits are due and what payment methods are accepted.
8. What's not included in this estimate?
Sometimes what's left out is more important than what's included.
9. Can you provide references from recent customers?
A reputable company should have happy customers willing to vouch for them. (Check out our Google reviews here.)
10. What makes your company different from competitors?
Their answer can reveal a lot about their values and service quality.
At Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving, they welcome these questions.
In fact, they'll often answer them before you even ask because transparency is part of their process.
Red Flags in Moving Estimates That Scream "RUN!"
Not all moving companies are created equal.
Most are honest businesses trying to provide good service.
Others... not so much.
Here are the warning signs that you might be dealing with a shady operator:
đźš© Unusually Low Estimates
If an estimate is significantly lower than others, be suspicious. They're either planning to raise the price later or cutting corners on service.
đźš© No In-Home Inspection
Reputable movers want to see your belongings before providing an estimate. If they're willing to quote a binding price sight unseen, something's wrong.
đźš© Demanding Large Deposits
A small deposit (10-20%) is normal. Being asked for 50% or more upfront is a red flag.
đźš© No Written Estimate
Verbal estimates aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Insist on getting everything in writing.
đźš© No USDOT Number
Interstate movers must have a USDOT number. Ask for it and verify it on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration website.
đźš© Generic Company Name
"City Moving" or "Budget Movers" with no specific business identity often indicates a fly-by-night operation.
đźš© No Physical Address
Legitimate moving companies have real offices you can visit.
đźš© Estimate Based on Cubic Feet
Professional movers base estimates on weight for long-distance moves, not volume.
đźš© Contract Full of Fine Print
If the contract is overly complicated or filled with legal jargon, they may be hiding something.
đźš© Poor Online Reviews
(Click here for our Moving Scams Warning Signs guide)
Check Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau. Bad reviews, especially mentioning bait-and-switch tactics, are a serious warning.
Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving has built their reputation on being the opposite of these red flags. With over 75 five-star reviews, a clear physical presence, transparent pricing, and proper licensing, they've established themselves as a trustworthy option in a sometimes questionable industry.
How to Compare Multiple Moving Estimates (Like a Pro)
Getting multiple estimates is smart, but comparing them isn't always straightforward.
Here's how to do it effectively:
1. Make Sure You're Comparing Apples to Apples
Different companies might include different services in their base price. One estimate might include packing services while another doesn't. Make sure you're comparing the same services across all estimates.
2. Look Beyond the Bottom Line
The cheapest estimate isn't always the best deal. Consider:
Type of estimate (binding vs. non-binding)
Company reputation
Insurance coverage
Timeline guarantees
Customer service quality
3. Create a Comparison Chart
Make a simple chart listing each company and what they offer:
Base price
Type of estimate
Services included
Potential extra fees
Insurance coverage
Deposit required
Payment methods
Cancellation policy
4. Read the Fine Print
Yes, it's boring. Yes, it's necessary. The details matter, especially regarding:
When final payment is due
How disputes are handled
What happens if items are damaged
Delivery window guarantees
5. Trust Your Gut
Did the estimator seem professional and knowledgeable? Was the company responsive to your questions? Did they take the time to explain things clearly? These impressions matter.
Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving encourages customers to get multiple estimates. They're confident in their service quality and pricing transparency, and they know informed customers make better decisions.
Local vs. Long-Distance Moving Estimates: Know the Difference
The distance of your move significantly impacts how estimates work:
Local Moving Estimates
For moves under 100 miles (typically within the same state):
Rates range from $100-$200 per hour for a crew of 2-4 movers
Minimum charges often apply (typically 2-4 hours)
Travel time to and from your locations is usually billed
Binding estimates are less common
Long-Distance Moving Estimates
For moves over 100 miles or crossing state lines:
Usually charged based on weight and distance
Binding estimates are more common
Regulated by federal agencies with specific requirements
Delivery windows rather than exact dates
Usually more expensive overall
Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving handles both local and long-distance moves with the same commitment to accurate estimates and quality service. Their approach adjusts to the specific requirements of your move, whether you're moving across town or across the country.
DIY vs. Professional Moving: A True Cost Comparison
Many people consider DIY moving to save money, but is it really cheaper?
Let's break it down:
DIY Moving Costs:
Truck rental: $50-$200/day plus mileage
Gas: Can easily exceed $100 for longer moves
Equipment rentals (dollies, furniture pads): $50-$100
Packing supplies: $100-$300
Insurance: $10-$20/day
Your time (priceless!)
Potential injury costs (also priceless!)
Friends' goodwill (cannot be replenished with just pizza)
Professional Moving with Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving:
All-inclusive, transparent pricing
Professional equipment included
Trained, experienced movers
Insurance coverage
Your time freed up for other priorities
No risk of personal injury
Friends remain friends (no heavy lifting required)
When you factor in all the hidden costs of DIY moving, professional movers often represent better value—especially when you choose a company like Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving that prides itself on honest estimates and quality service.
Seasonal Moving: How Time of Year Affects Your Estimate
Did you know the cost of your move can vary by 20-30% depending on when you move?
Here's what you need to know:
Peak Season (May-August)
Highest demand and prices
Book 8-12 weeks in advance
Less flexibility in scheduling
More competition for good movers
Shoulder Season (April, September, October)
Moderate demand and prices
More availability
Potentially better service (less rushed)
Weather generally favorable
Off-Season (November-March)
Lowest prices (potential savings of 20-30%)
Maximum availability
Possible weather challenges
Best negotiating position
Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving offers competitive rates year-round, but they're transparent about how seasonality affects pricing. Moving during off-peak times can save you money, and they'll help you find the best balance between cost and convenience.
Negotiating Your Moving Estimate: Yes, It's Possible!
Many people don't realize that moving estimates can often be negotiated.
Here's how to do it effectively:
1. Do Your Homework
Get multiple estimates so you know the market rate for your move.
2. Find Leverage
Are you flexible on dates? Off-peak times can mean discounts.
Can you handle some tasks yourself? Offer to do your own packing.
Are you moving to/from an area where the company already has jobs? They might offer a deal to avoid an empty truck.
3. Ask Directly
Use phrases like:
"Is this the best price you can offer?"
"I have a quote from another company that's lower. Can you match it?"
"What can we adjust to bring this price down?"
4. Look for Value-Adds
If they won't budge on price, ask for extras:
Free wardrobe boxes
Additional insurance coverage
Priority scheduling
Extended payment terms
5. Be Reasonable
Remember, quality service has a cost. Pushing too hard for discounts might result in cut corners.
Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving offers fair, competitive pricing upfront. While they may not always be the cheapest option, their commitment to quality service and transparent pricing means you get what you pay for—with no unpleasant surprises.
Understanding Moving Insurance and Valuation Coverage
One of the most overlooked aspects of moving estimates is insurance coverage. Don't make this mistake!
Basic Liability (Released Value Protection)
This is the minimum coverage required by law:
FREE but minimal protection
Usually just $0.60 per pound per item (Mr. BigStuff does offer higher premiums for additional an additional charge.)
Example: A 50-pound TV worth $1,000 would only be covered for $30 if damaged
Full Value Protection
This provides much better coverage:
Costs extra (usually 1-2% of your shipment's value)
Covers repair, replacement, or cash settlement for damaged items
Often has deductibles and limitations
Should be clearly outlined in your estimate
Third-Party Insurance
If you need additional coverage:
Available from independent insurance companies
May offer better terms than mover-provided insurance
Can fill gaps in the mover's coverage
Usually needs to be arranged before moving day
Always review the insurance section of your moving estimate carefully. The cheapest estimate might cost you dearly if it includes only minimal coverage and something valuable is damaged.
Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving offers comprehensive insurance options and will explain exactly what's covered in your estimate. They believe proper protection is part of a quality moving experience.
Virtual vs. In-Person Moving Estimates: Pros and Cons
Technology has changed the moving industry, with virtual estimates becoming increasingly common.
But are they reliable?
Virtual Estimates
Pros:
Convenient scheduling
No need to have someone in your home
Faster process
Good for simple moves
Cons:
Less accurate (estimator can't see everything)
Can't assess weight as accurately
May miss access issues or other challenges
More potential for surprise charges later
In-Person Estimates
Pros:
Most accurate assessment
Estimator can check access points, stairs, elevators
Better weight and volume calculations
Opportunity to ask questions face-to-face
Cons:
Requires scheduling and being home
Takes more time
May feel intrusive to some people
Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving offers both options but recommends in-person estimates for the most accurate pricing. Their virtual estimate technology is state-of-the-art, but nothing beats having an experienced professional physically assess your belongings.
The Moving Estimate Timeline: What to Expect
Getting a moving estimate isn't just a one-time event.
Here's the typical timeline:
8-12 Weeks Before Moving
6-8 Weeks Before Moving
4-6 Weeks Before Moving
2-3 Weeks Before Moving
1 Week Before Moving
Moving Day
(Click here for our massive, epic 8-week, 72-point super comprehensive FREE Moving Checklist)
Following this timeline helps ensure you get accurate estimates and avoid last-minute problems.
Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving makes this process smooth and straightforward, with clear communication at every step. Their customer service team stays in touch throughout your moving journey, addressing concerns and answering questions as they arise.
How to Avoid Moving Estimate Scams: Protecting Yourself
The moving industry, unfortunately, has its share of scammers.
Here's how to protect yourself:
1. Verify the Company's Legitimacy
Check their USDOT number (required for interstate movers)
Verify their physical address exists
Look for proper licensing with state authorities
Check the Better Business Bureau for complaints
2. Get Everything in Writing
Never accept verbal estimates
Ensure all services are clearly described
Confirm the type of estimate (binding or non-binding)
Get a signed copy before you commit
3. Understand Your Rights
Interstate movers must provide a copy of "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move"
Know the rules about estimates, delivery, and charges
Understand the claims process for damaged items
4. Watch for Classic Scam Signs
Asking for large cash deposits
No company name on trucks or uniforms
Estimator seems unprofessional or pushy
Reluctance to provide references
Unwillingness to put details in writing
5. Trust Your Instincts
If something feels off, it probably is. There are plenty of reputable movers available.
Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving has built their business on integrity and transparency. With over 75 five-star reviews since their founding in January 2024, they've quickly established a reputation for honest business practices in an industry where that's not always the norm.
The True Cost of a Bad Moving Estimate
A lowball estimate might seem like a good deal, but the true cost goes beyond money:
Financial Impact
Surprise charges on moving day
Potential held hostage situations (pay more or we don't unload)
Loss of deposit if you refuse to proceed
Cost of emergency alternatives
Time Impact
Delays in your move
Time spent disputing charges
Time researching new options if you need to switch movers
Emotional Impact
Moving is already stressful; billing surprises make it worse
Feeling taken advantage of or foolish
Stress of financial uncertainty
Impact on your moving experience
Professional Impact
Potential delays starting a new job
Distraction from work responsibilities
Possibly missing work to resolve issues
When you choose Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving, you're not just paying for moving services—you're investing in peace of mind. Their accurate estimates mean one less thing to worry about during your move.
What to Do If Your Final Bill Exceeds Your Estimate
Despite your best efforts, sometimes the final bill is higher than expected.
Here's what to do:
1. Stay Calm and Review the Contract
Your rights depend on the type of estimate you received:
Binding estimate: You should only pay the estimated amount (plus any agreed additions)
Non-binding estimate: Movers can charge up to 110% of the estimate on delivery day
2. Ask for a Detailed Breakdown
Request an itemized list of all charges so you can identify what's causing the increase.
3. Dispute Inappropriate Charges
If you see charges for services not provided or not agreed to, challenge them calmly but firmly.
4. Know Your Rights for Interstate Moves
Federal regulations provide specific protections. For example, movers must:
Deliver your goods once you pay 100% of a binding estimate or 110% of a non-binding estimate
Bill any remaining balance after 30 days
Provide clear documentation of all charges
5. Consider Mediation
If you can't resolve the dispute directly, the FMCSA offers a dispute resolution program for interstate moves.
6. Leave Honest Reviews
Share your experience to help others avoid similar situations.
With Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving, these steps are rarely necessary. Their commitment to accurate estimates means the price you agree to is the price you pay—period.
Moving Estimates for Special Situations: What to Know
Some moves require special consideration.

Moving Pianos and Specialty Items
These require special equipment and expertise:
Should be specifically mentioned in your estimate
May incur additional fees ($100-$500 depending on size and difficulty)
Require special insurance considerations
Need proper equipment and trained personnel
Military Moves
If you're in the military:
You may qualify for government-paid moving services
Personally Procured Moves (PPM) allow you to hire your own movers
Weight tickets are essential for reimbursement

Senior Moving
Moving seniors often involves:
Downsizing assistance
Special handling of heirlooms and valuables
Potential coordination with senior living facilities
Possibly working with family members rather than the person moving

When time is short:
Expect to pay premium rates (10-30% higher)
Fewer options for binding estimates
More limited company availability
Need for extra flexibility
Mr. BigStuff Labor and Moving handles all these special situations with expertise and care. Their team is trained to address the unique challenges of different moves, providing customized estimates that account for your specific circumstances.
