1) Precisely what services are extra?
No one likes unexpected surprises when it comes to moving, particularly if those surprises are in the form of costs on your invoice. A massive blunder that numerous people make is thinking that everything that you need will be automatically contained in your moving estimate. Look over each and every line of the estimate and make sure that you are aware of what exactly is and what is possibly not contained and confirm that your requirements are covered.

Be sure to accomplish this with every moving company in Tulsa you are looking at choosing in order to correctly evaluate estimates.

If you obtain a binding estimate, it should contain all costs and should make certain that the rate doesn’t go over the quoted total. If it is not something you and the moving company representative have discussed, make sure and ask if the quote is binding or non-binding.
4) What about payment?
