COMPARE WRITTEN ESTIMATES

Scope a written estimate for Boston to Seattle

Compare the scope and assumptions, not only the total. Each proposal should explain what the mover will do and which conditions can change the price or schedule.

Service mode and timing

For Boston to Seattle, the estimate should identify direct or consolidated service, pickup timing and the delivery spread.

Packing and special handling

Record boxes, furniture, fragile items and crew services instead of relying on an undefined all-in description.

Pickup and delivery conditions

Map the legal loading position before assigning the pickup window. Tell the carrier whether delivery uses a curb, driveway, dock or shuttle.

Time-sensitive travel inputs

Review Massachusetts 511 before loading so dispatch sees current restrictions and construction. Check WSDOT real-time map close to arrival for current road conditions.
