BINDING ESTIMATE COST FOR SERVICE: If, before loading your shipment, we believe you are tendering additional household goods or are requiring additional services not identified in the initial Estimate Cost for Service, and you and the carrier cannot reach an agreement, the carrier keeps the right to refuse to service the additional household goods or services. We will agree to service the shipment by agreeing to negotiate a revised written Binding Estimate and executing a Rescission of Old Estimate which will list the additional cubic feet of household goods and/or additional services. By executing a Rescission Of Old Estimate the carrier and the customer will consider the initial Binding Estimate secondary and that it will no longer control the move.

The Carrier has accepted this Binding Estimate as their own until a Rescission of Old Estimate is executed by the client and or a Lady Liberty Moving employee or Carrier employee or agent. It guarantees the total cost of the move based upon the quantities and services shown on your initial Estimate Cost For Service.
