I'm in the process of doing a long distance move, and i hired a moving company. I give the girl a pretty complete list of items, and she quoted me the cubic feet for all of that stuff. The only problem is she severely underquoted me. I told her a 3 piece sectional, and she quoted me 70 cubic feet. The moving guys came, and said 1 of the sections is 70cf by itself. Anyways, her cubic feet estimation came out to be about 220 short, which translates to a good $2500.
I tried talking to the manager, but he says that you pay for cubic feet, and that we added on extra stuff, things not on the inventory list. Which is true, but we also didn't take some of the stuff on the inventory list, and opted to use that CF for other stuff. Anyways, is there any sort of legal backing to our case? IE misleading business practices or something? The supervisor said that we broke the contract by changing the items in the inventory, and that we get charged for how much space we use, and thats the bottom line. My only argument is with the quote and huge difference between it & the actual cost.
