Moving companies want your business. Are you likely to give your business to the mover with the highest price? Of course not. The salesman knows this, so he will quote you a "competitive" price (in the moving business, "competitive price" usually means "fictional price").

Complete with everything you will need to make sure you get a fair price when you move: secrets of correctly valuing your shipment, how to correctly calculate your weight, how much insurance you will need and what type to buy, and more.
