The benefits of the guaranteed moving price are that if you're thorough with your inventory you can know before and exactly how much are move will cost. This is not the case with the hourly or wait based estimates.

The drawback to the guaranteed moving price method is that you have to make and inventory of all the items that you would like to move with the exception of the things that are small enough to fit into a movers box. It sounds a little tougher than it actually is, most Austin movers have a printable inventory form on their web sites. Simply print out this document and tally up all the items that need to be moved. The only part that you'll need to estimate is the number of boxes that you'll have to move. One piece of advice I can give is take your best guess at how many boxes it will take to prepare everything for your Austin moving company then double that number.

At the end of this process you'll have a quote in writing with the exact price for your Austin move. The nice thing about having it in writing is that right before your eyes he'll have the list that the quotas based off of. So if you really want to be certain of your cost, you can use your written moving quote like a checklist. If you discover a hidden bookcase that you must in your original inventory, simply give your Austin mover in a phone call or e-mail and let them know that you need to update your inventory. They should be able to add this to your quote and sent you the revised cost.

A trap many fall into when looking for moving services in Austin, is the lowball hourly quote. It goes something like this, you start calling around for moving quotes an asp the vague question of how much would it be to move all my stuff. While the moving company may ask you the size of the house how many bedrooms are in the home, then they say well that sounds like it would take about 5 hours, then the next mover says he thinks it would take about 7 hours to complete. You call one more company to get a third estimate and he says he thinks it will take about 3 hours. After reviewing your Austin moving quotes you may be really excited about the great price that he received from the company estimating 3 hours. In all actuality each company is going to charge you for the actual amount of hours it takes to complete your move. So if you choose the company that gave you the lowest estimate then the job ends up taking 7 hours you'll pay for the 7 hours of work. The difference between the 3 hour estimate and the seven our estimate, is that the person that gave you the seven hour estimate was either more experienced or more honest. More often than not, the honest inexperience company will complete the same job in less time.

This being the case, the outcome of getting hourly base estimates is often that you end up choosing an inferior Austin moving company. The less experienced an honest moving company usually will take a longer to complete your move and you end up paying more for worse service.

But there are some benefits to the hourly rate. You have the flexibility to decide on the fly how much you want the moving company to do without having to amend the moving contract and you don't have to spend the time to inventory your items. Just make sure that you check with the better business bureau to see if the Austin moving companies you're considering have any complaints filed against them. Or even better, ask your neighbors if they've recently used a moving service that they're happy with them double check them with the better business bureau.

Good luck with your Austin moving adventure.
