Get a written not-to-exceed quote
Before anything is loaded you get the price in writing. That number is the ceiling.
Move day
Padding, wrap, careful loading, furniture placed where you want it. The final bill can only be lower than the quote.
Not-to-exceed, in plain words
Texas requires a household goods mover to give you a written estimate before loading. It can be binding (one exact price) or not-to-exceed (a maximum).
We use not-to-exceed. We work by the hour; if the move takes longer than planned for the inventory in the quote, you still pay no more than the written number. If it goes faster, you pay for the time it took.
The ceiling covers the inventory and services written in it. If on move day you add a storage-unit stop or a room that was not in the quote, we write the change down and you sign it before we do it. Nothing changes silently.
