Difference between Quote and Confirmation

Overview

This article outlines the common differences between a Quote and a Confirmation at Supermove. Note, these steps and documents may mean something different at individual companies. Short summary:

• Quote: An initial estimate of services and costs, not binding, subject to change
• Confirmation: A final, binding agreement on the services, costs, and schedule after the quote is accepted

Breakdown of Differences

Quote:

• Purpose: A Quote provides an estimate of the cost and details of a moving service before any commitment is made.
• Content: It includes an itemized list of services, pricing, and any conditions or assumptions. It’s essentially a detailed cost projection based on the information provided by the customer.
• Function: The customer reviews the quote to understand potential costs and services. It’s a non-binding document, meaning it’s subject to change based on final details and any additional services required.

Confirmation:

• Purpose: A Confirmation is a binding agreement that finalizes the terms and conditions of the move after the customer accepts the quote.
• Content: It confirms the agreed-upon services, pricing, and schedule. It might also include terms of payment, cancellation policies, and any special instructions.
• Function: This document is an official acknowledgment that both parties have agreed to proceed with the move based on the terms outlined in the quote. It ensures that both the customer and the moving company have a clear, mutual understanding of the services to be provided and the costs involved.
