Written-coverage matrix

Use the accessible web guide and worked example for the source references and context. Keep unknown costs unresolved rather than treating them as zero.
A practical comparison order
- Company role: identify the carrier, broker, or agent named in each document.
- Estimate structure: compare binding terms with binding terms and understand what can change.
- Inventory: find omitted rooms, boxes, bulky items, or packing.
- Access: compare stairs, elevators, parking distance, shuttles, and long carries.
- Protection and timing: line up valuation, storage, pickup, and delivery language.
- Conditional total: add questions for every charge without a usable rate.
Example: $3,900 versus $4,450
The lower quote is not necessarily cheaper if it omits packing materials and a shuttle that the higher quote includes. Ask each mover to price the same inventory and access conditions in writing before treating the totals as alternatives.
What happens after you compare?
You can keep using this free worksheet without uploading anything. If you want help reading the original documents, start a separate private estimate review.
- Start free: the free scan shows key facts found in the document, such as mover name, quoted total, estimate type, deposit, and origin and destination. Unclear values stay marked as uncertain.
- Choose a complete review only if useful: $19.99 once, with no subscription, adds evidence-linked findings, conditional-charge questions, and comparison across up to four estimates.
- You control the handoff: worksheet entries are not uploaded or transferred. You choose the estimate files yourself on the review page.

Questions about the comparison tool
Does this tool tell me which mover to hire?
No. It compares whether nine decision fields are recorded or unresolved across up to four written quotes. It does not rank movers, verify company quality, or predict the final price.
Does MoveFinePrint receive what I type?
No. The worksheet runs in your browser and sends nothing you enter to MoveFinePrint. It uses session storage by default; saving on the device is optional and can be cleared in the tool.
What should I do with an unresolved field?
Ask the mover or broker to answer it in writing and say whether the item is included, conditional, or not applicable. Keep the response with the estimate and later revisions.
