No recent quotes, just be careful though.

When I was moving from NY to DC, the movers quoted me one quote before the job started (I lived in a small 1bedroom apt) and it was only AFTER all of my things were loaded into the truck that the guy tried to scam me and said it would be $4,000 MORE than the quote and basically implied that he'd hold my things hostage if I didn't pay it.

Mind you, my (now) husband, then boyfriend already had a fully furnished 2br apt, so I wasn't bringing the majority of my furniture with me -- just my king size bed, a couch, a few tv's and wardrobe boxes with my clothing.

My husband who is 6'5, 240lbs said to him "how about I take a razor blade and I flatten all 6 of your tires? Then you guys will have to stay here with me... sound good?

They went with the original quote.

Beware of this tactic.  
Write on your contract that you will only be paying the price that they quoted you prior to the move.

Sounds very NY. [/quote]
