Client Testimonial "The not-to-exceed estimates were a big lifesaver. The couple I worked for were moving in order to retire, and with the costs of treating his illnesses, it was important to budget carefully. The not-to-exceed estimate made sure we wouldn’t be unpleasantly surprised by the final cost. We actually got a refund when all was said and done. Can you believe that? I didn’t think refunds ever happened, but sure enough, we got a check in the mail after the move was complete.” " - Cindy W.

A phone survey is not a guaranteed estimate. Give Written Estimates—Do not accept a verbal estimate. Always get it in writing. File and Publish a Tariff—Reputable movers have filed a tariff with the government for state-to-state moves. The tariff outlines exactly how their prices are calculated. Movers may discount from this tariff but they may not exceed it. If a mover does not have a published tariff they are not a reputable mover. Calculate state-to-state moves using weight, distance, and special services. Ask for payment upon delivery, not before. Allow client to accompany driver to the weigh station to verify weight of shipment. Not jeopardize quality service by “low-balling” the estimate for your move. An estimate that is significantly below that of other recognized movers is a red flag. Have his/her own moving trucks and equipment. A reputable mover will not show up in a truck marked with another moving company’s name on the side. Make sure that your client’s move is with a reputable mover. The Move Advocate only works with the nation’s most reputable movers and can arrange for multiple and binding quotes from quality service providers. A dedicated coach will answer questions and be an advocate throughout the move process to assure that your clients' moves are the best they’ll ever make.

Some turkey facts to share with your friends and family as you feast and give thanks: This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Annual Turkey Presentation to the President of the United States. Traditionally, the turkey is then “pardoned” by the President and flown, 1st class, to Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. The turkey serves as honorary Grand Marshal for Disneyland’s annual Thanksgiving Day Parade. Through conservation efforts by the National Wild Turkey Federation, the number of wild turkeys has increased from 1.3 million in 1973 to 7 million in 2007. If you have a question about cooking your turkey this Thanksgiving, call the Turkey Hotline (1-800-BUTTERBALL) to speak with a trained turkey consultant. Every year the Turkey Hotline fields more than 100,000 calls in the U.S. and Canada. Visit the Butterball website to sign up for a turkey lover’s newsletter or find a recipe for your leftover turkey!
