GoList news & guides

What should moving companies explain before providing an estimate?

Explain the information needed for an estimate, including inventory and access at both ends. Distinguish packing, transport and storage where offered. State assumptions and approval arrangements clearly so a customer understands what could change the quoted scope or cost.

What would make the information more useful?

Collect inventory and access information consistently so estimates cover the same move. Explain packing, travel and waiting time separately where relevant. Give customers a clear way to approve changes, and confirm the agreed details before the crew arrives.

How can you put this into practice locally?

Give the information a named owner within the business. That person can check changes, remove expired offers and keep replies consistent. Use customer questions to improve the description, and assess whether inquiries fit the work you want to provide.
