North Brunswick Township, United States - November 8, 2023 /PressCable/ —

Residents of many northern cities continue to migrate toward warmer, less densely-populated locales as winter approaches. The relocation experts at Movers.com explain the differences between types of moving estimates in a new guide that helps those leaving Pittsburgh optimize their moving budgets.

The latest guide helps readers understand the terms of binding and non-binding moving estimates. It recommends using a moving company that surveys individuals’ home and belongings in-person before giving an estimate, since this method provides the most accurate assessment and costs.

Address change data from the United States Postal Service indicates households in chilly northern cities continue to move south, according to a recent report from Forbes. Pennsylvania is one of the top 10 states residents are leaving, with more than 18,000 households departing in search of warmer weather and better job prospects, the report explains.

When planning an out-of-state move, it’s best to secure a “binding but not-to-exceed” estimate, according to the guide. These arrangements are rare, but have significant benefits for the consumer compared to "binding" or "non-binding" estimates. Binding but not-to-exceed quotes have a price ceiling, but include provisions for movers to reduce the bill if they’ve overestimated the weight of the belongings.

By comparison, binding estimates do not change throughout the move, according to the guide. The household pays the quoted amount if the movers underestimate the weight, which benefits the consumer. But they also pay the same amount if the load ends up being lighter.

Some movers also offer non-binding estimates, but Movers.com does not recommend these arrangements for long-distance moves. In these situations, consumers are given over-the-phone estimates, but the movers do not give a final cost until items are weighed on moving day. This makes budgeting difficult, and leaves consumers vulnerable to bait-and-switch scams in which companies provide lowball quotes and price-gouge once belongings are loaded.

Individuals who are concerned about unscrupulous relocation services can use Movers.com to find reputable moving companies. Each of the 500+ companies in the site’s network is screened for licensure, insurance, and reputation with customers before joining. Additionally, each company is then checked on a monthly basis.
