Years ago when we moved from NY to Va the same thing happened but they were limited to a 10% increase over estimated weight.

BTW did you ask more than one moving company to quote and if so were estimates close.

How many pounds of stuff did you move? When we moved here last year we had what we thought was a ton of stuff and only paid just over 5 thousand.
Wow. A ton of stuff (2,000 pounds) for $5,000. That's $2.50 per pound, which is about 5 times the going rate for a long distance move. (Just kidding, but accurate)
