Binding vs. Non-Binding Estimates

Understanding the difference helps you choose the right quote structure for your move.

FIXED PRICE

Binding Estimate

✓Locked pricing when your item list and services stay the same

✓Changes to scope require an updated quote

✓Packing billed separately based on actual usage

✓Built from the itemized list you approve

Best for: long-distance and interstate moves

VARIABLE

Non-Binding Estimate

✓Final total reflects actual labor time and services used

✓Materials billed based on what is used

✓Access conditions can affect total time

✓Common for hourly local moves and packing jobs

Best for: local moves and labor-only jobs

DEPOSITS & PAYMENT

Secure Your Move With Confidence

A deposit reserves your date and guarantees priority scheduling. We accept card payments only for a secure, hassle-free transaction.

LOCAL MOVES

Billed at an Hourly Rate

DEPOSIT

$200 flat deposit to reserve your move date. Remaining balance due after the move is complete.

YOUR RATE INCLUDES

Travel time (fixed) + labor time (actual hours worked) + materials and additional services.

Labor time may vary due to weather, parking, long walks, narrow stairways, elevator access, traffic, or additional inventory.

LONG DISTANCE MOVES

DEPOSIT

10% of your flat-rate quote. Then 60% after pickup, remaining 30% upon delivery.

100% BINDING WHEN

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

How do I get an estimate?

Choose whichever fits your schedule for a free quote or consultation.

✓Video walkthrough. A 15-minute video call, room by room. Most popular option.
✓Call us. 866-565-1516 speak with our friendly team.
✓Request a quote online. Send details and we’ll follow up.
✓Free in-person estimate. Available for homes with 2+ bedrooms.

Will my furniture be protected?

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Are there items you can't move?

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

•Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
•Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
•Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
•Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Can you take down TVs and wall-mounted items?

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

✓Mounted TVs
✓Artwork and mirrors
✓Shelving
✓Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

How much will my move cost?

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Do you provide moving supplies and equipment?

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

✓Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
✓Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
✓Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
