Does this long distance moving quote seem OK? Maine to Virginia move
We are moving from northern maine to roanoke virginia at the end of september. we are wanting a moving truck to come and load our stuff up (under 1700 pounds- but they said they have to charge us for a full 2100 pound load). we will be doing packing and getting boxes ourselfs to save some money. when the guy came to look at the stuff in our apartment he estimated it to be around $1500-2000, but couldn't guarantee us a specific arrival date for our shipment. said it could be anywhere between 4 days before we arrive to 10 days after we arrive. he called again today and told us our move would cost $1900. i'm not sure if our packing is discounted from that total or if taxes and insurance is included in that also. are there other fees besides taxes and insurance such as tips...etc? insurance would be $200 we would be insured for $15000. We only budgeted for $2000 for a move, but this is the only moving company here. we don't know if we're getting the run-around or not. what kind of questions should we ask and what kind of comparables are out there we can use to back us up? we are very new to this. thank you!
