Flat rate is safer, because a weight based quote can move on you at the scale and you find out after the truck is loaded, which is the worst possible moment to be negotiating. Ask for a binding number against a written inventory. The kiln should be listed separately, it is heavy and awkward and you do not want it treated as a surprise. We used [url=https://www.gms4you.us/locations/california-to-texas/]movers from California to Texas[/url] with a locked price and the number held. Get the delivery window in writing too, since long distance loads share trucks and a vague window is where the frustrating stories start. Photograph the tools and the kiln before loading, claims on specialty items go far more smoothly with dated pictures.

Hello all. My company is relocating me from LA to the Dallas area in the fall and giving me a fixed relocation allowance, which means every dollar over comes out of my pocket. Three bedrooms of furniture, a garage full of tools and my wife's pottery kiln. I have never done an interstate move and the quotes I have back so far are structured completely differently from each other. What should I be asking, and is a flat rate safer than pricing by weight for a load like this? The kiln is heavy and awkward and my wife is not leaving it behind.
