Just curious, did the moving company come to your house and look at what you had before estimating the weight or did they make the estimate based on information you provided?

Our move was based on information we provided. If I remember correctly, our estimate was adjusted to the final number after packing and loading. I don't recall how much ours increased (not much) but a friend had their increase about 50%. Your increase of about 10% doesn't seem outrageous.
