In any case you should have four or five quotations in your hands in a couple of days at most.

For instance you cannot tell the company that you own a grand piano, and this could lead to complications when the workers come totally unprepared for the task. Not having a clear discussion before d day will only cause unnecessary complications later when you need to do the needful, especially if you own very heavy furniture that may need dismantling and reassembling at the new premises.

You could even drop in to the office to have a chat, while the company reps could come over and take a look at the goods at your place.

Keep away from people who plan to charge you just for a quotation that sounds like a scam. A quotation precedes an actual deal, and it is a buyer's right. You should not have to pay to know what you will finally have to pay!
