Dennis, I doubt you received a reasonable quote. Moving is not cheap and what you got was a low-ball quote. You haven't indicated here where you moved from, and how much you moved. You haven't indicated how many other movers you contacted to allow you to determine whether the quote received was "fair". The truth is, until you reveal this information - we can never know whether you were really ripped off. I get the fact that the company didn't stick by the quote you received, however there is nothing in their contract or their quote that obligated them to the quote. That is the game in the moving industry ultimately; they can quote you what they wish; unless you receive a quote that's binding, not-to-exceed - you will have this happen to you. Moving is not an inexpensive venture and choosing a mover based on price will often lead to consumers paying far more than if they had simply paid more upfront and chosen a reputable mover.
