Overcharge by moving companies
When we signed the deal with a moving company in Northern Virginia they estimated $17,369.65. We are being charged $19,728.31, an overcharge of $2358.
Their explanation:
"Your initial Interstate estimate was based on an estimated weight. Your delivery to FL was based off of the actual weight and packing. Atlas charges and the non binding estimate are based on the actuals. Your local portion was higher because there was an increase in the packing when your shipment was picked up. "
They offered no details. So a moving company can estimate X to get you to sign, then charge you X + Y when the delivery is done.
Sweet business model, eh?
