Why do movers quote a range and then charge the top of it?
Moving companies give a wide range quote, then bill at or above the ceiling after citing stairs, tight turns, or box count on the day.
Who has it: Anyone moving homes, especially renters and first-time buyers.
Evidence
People describe getting a wide moving quote and then a final bill at or above the top of that range, which makes the quote feel meaningless.
