Before you begin, go around your home and make a list of all the items you want your mover to move. The more accurate your list, the more accurate your estimate. If you have an item that does not appear on our list, find something in our list that is approximately the same size (example substitute humidifier for a cloths hamper). You can estimate the number of boxes. Now that you have your list simply type in the number of items to be moved next to the items in our list. (example. type a 2 next to CEDR CHEST if you have two cedar chests to move... and so on). There is also some miscellaneous information the virtual mover will ask you to provide. Fill in everything and then punch the "move" button... wait a few seconds, and then ...viola! If you have a printer, remember to make a copy of this, it will help you when getting other estimates.
