Movers know two things most customers don't: for an interstate move they can't demand more than 110% of a non-binding estimate at delivery, and for a Florida move they must be registered with the state and honour the written estimate. When the price jumps at the curb, the rules — not the driver — decide. Paste the estimate and what happened. You get which rules apply, what's legal, the deadlines, and the letter.
Free check
Origin and destination, the estimate (binding or not, the amount, the weight/inventory), the final bill, what they're demanding, whether the goods were delivered, any damage, and the dates.
Why this exists
Interstate movers are bound by federal rules on estimates, delivery charges and claims. Florida movers must register with DBPR and honour written estimates. Knowing which applies — and the 110% number — usually ends the standoff at the curb.
How it works
Route, estimate type and amount, the bill, what they demanded, where the goods are, any damage, the dates.
Interstate (FMCSA) vs Florida (DBPR): the maximum collectible at delivery, the estimate rules, the hostage-goods prohibition, the valuation/liability rules, and the 9-month claim clock computed.
Who to call today (FMCSA hostage-goods line, DBPR, police), the tender of the lawful amount, the demand letter, and the damage claim with photos and the inventory.
Plans
For one household. Realtors and relocation desks license it.
The demand / tender letter, the FMCSA or DBPR complaint steps with the numbers, the written loss-and-damage claim form with the valuation rules, an evidence checklist (estimate, order for service, bill of lading, weight tickets, inventory, photos), and a deadline calendar.

Common questions
For an interstate move, the driver cannot demand more than 110% of a non-binding estimate, or the exact binding amount if you signed a binding estimate. For a Florida-only move, the mover must honor the written estimate under Florida Statutes chapter 507. Paste your estimate and what happened, and Moving Company Dispute will tell you which rule applies to your case.
Moving Company Dispute can tell you whether the amount being demanded is more than what federal or Florida rules allow, based on the estimate and details you paste. If your goods are being held right now, call the FMCSA hostage-goods line or DBPR today — they can intervene. This tool cannot contact anyone on your behalf, and it is not legal advice.
The tool computes the 9-month claim clock from the delivery date you provide and explains the valuation rules that apply to your shipment. For interstate movers, the Carmack Amendment (49 U.S.C. 14706) governs damage claims. This is general information, not legal advice — confirm your exact deadline with the mover or a professional.
It depends on whether your move crossed state lines (interstate) or stayed entirely within Florida (intrastate). Paste your estimate and what happened, and Moving Company Dispute applies FMCSA household-goods rules (49 CFR Parts 370 and 375) or Florida Statutes chapter 507, whichever fits your situation.
Yes, Moving Company Dispute is free to use. It is an informational tool based on federal and Florida moving rules, not affiliated with any mover, broker, or agency, and it does not file complaints or claims for you. The material doesn't specify how long anything you paste is kept, so if you're unsure, avoid pasting information you wouldn't want retained.
Para una mudanza interestatal, el conductor no puede exigir más del 110% de un estimado no vinculante, o el monto exacto si usted firmó un estimado vinculante. Para una mudanza dentro de la Florida, la empresa debe respetar el estimado por escrito según el capítulo 507 de los Estatutos de la Florida. Pegue su estimado y lo que ocurrió, y Moving Company Dispute le indicará qué regla aplica a su caso.
Moving Company Dispute puede indicarle si el monto exigido supera lo que permiten las reglas federales o de la Florida, según el estimado y los detalles que usted pegue. Si en este momento están reteniendo sus pertenencias, llame hoy mismo a la línea de FMCSA para bienes retenidos o al DBPR — ellos pueden intervenir. Esta herramienta no puede comunicarse con nadie en su nombre, y esto no es asesoría legal.
La herramienta calcula el plazo de 9 meses a partir de la fecha de entrega que usted indique y explica las reglas de valoración que aplican a su envío. Para mudanzas interestatales, la Enmienda Carmack (49 U.S.C. 14706) rige los reclamos por daños. Esto es información general, no asesoría legal — confirme su plazo exacto con la empresa o con un profesional.
Depende de si su mudanza cruzó los límites del estado (interestatal) o se realizó únicamente dentro de la Florida (intraestatal). Pegue su estimado y lo que ocurrió, y Moving Company Dispute aplicará las reglas de FMCSA para bienes del hogar (49 CFR Partes 370 y 375) o el capítulo 507 de los Estatutos de la Florida, según corresponda a su situación.
Sí, Moving Company Dispute es gratuito. Es una herramienta informativa basada en reglas federales y de la Florida sobre mudanzas, no está afiliada a ninguna empresa de mudanzas, corredor o agencia, y no presenta quejas ni reclamos en su nombre. El material no especifica cuánto tiempo se conserva lo que usted pega, así que, si tiene dudas, evite incluir información que no desee que se conserve.
