You will receive many phone calls from various brokers and carriers. Some will provide quotes in cubic feet, some will provide quotes in weight. Everyone on the phone will attempt to tell you their way is the right way. Honestly, after my years and experience in the moving industry it truly does not matter where you are with a moving company that goes by cubic feet or weight as long as you understand how your move is calculated and what the charges will be. My advice is to get the numbers for both cubic feet and weight. Do not focus so much on how they provide their estimate (cubic feet VS Weight) but how to hire a reputable carrier who properly quotes. We at Texas Moving Carrier will give you the estimate by weight and cubic feet so you can compare apples to apples with other quotes. A good relocation consultant will take the time to explain and help you understand worst case scenarios.
What’s the difference between weight vs. cubic feet moving estimates?
