Comparing New Jersey Moving and Storage Service Estimates
Our first recommendation is to get no more than three to five estimates from reputable local companies. Even though it is easy to get dozens of estimates, thanks to numerous online service, this would normally only lead to confusion. Making sense and comparing twenty different estimates is just a waste of time and could lead you into making the wrong choice.
When sitting down to make your selection, you need to “compare apples with apples.” This means that you will need to compare the basic charge unit the New Jersey Moving and Storage Service providers offer you, rather the bottom line price.
Comparing New Jersey Moving and Storage Service Basic Charge Units
All moving service providers make their cost calculations based on a specific basic charge unit. Your basic charge unit should appear on your estimate. For long distance moves, it is the rate per pound or the rate per cubic foot that the mover uses to calculate the amount of space your shipment will take on the truck. For local moves, it is the fixed rate per hour. If the basic charge unit does not appear on the estimate that your relocation service provided you, contact your mover and ask for to receive it in writing.
