We check your moving quote, before you sign it.
The Move Audit is a simple report on 1 to 3 moving quotes. We check the company behind each one, how the price works, and what the contract says. Then we tell you what we found, in plain English.
This might be for you if:
- You have more than one quote, and the prices don't match
- You're not sure who will actually move your things
- The contract has words you don't understand
- The deposit or payment rules feel off
- You want a second opinion before you spend thousands of dollars
Three things, nothing more.
After you buy, tell us about your move: where you're moving from, where you're moving to, and your move date. Upload 1 to 3 quotes as PDFs or clear photos. Add any questions you want us to look into.
That's it. No account. No software to install. No back-and-forth to get started.
Every audit runs three checks.
Mover Check
Who's really behind your quote.
- Their legal name and USDOT number (their ID with the government)
- Whether they're a carrier (who moves you) or a broker (who sells the job to one)
- If the name on your quote matches official records
Estimate Check
What's really behind your price.
- Your total price, and how they calculated it
- How much deposit you pay, and when it's due
- What they think you're moving, and how much it weighs
- What's included in the price, and what they might add later
Contract Check
What you're agreeing to.
- Whether your price is locked in, or can still change
- Rules for canceling, rescheduling, or paying
- What happens if something breaks or gets lost
- Extra fees and unusual contract rules
Quick definition: a binding estimate locks in your price. A non-binding estimate means the final price can still change. We'll tell you which one you have, and what that means for you.
How your Shield Assessment is built.
- 01
We verify the mover
We check federal registration, operating status, and household-goods authority.
- 02
We read the paperwork
We examine the price, inventory, deposits, additional charges, estimate type, payment terms, and important contract language.
- 03
We compare the quotes
If you submit more than one estimate, we identify meaningful differences that aren't obvious from the headline price.
- 04
We show the evidence
Important findings are tied back to the documents and records used.
- 05
Uncertain cases get additional review
If something cannot be confidently resolved, the system doesn't simply guess.
Your Shield Assessment report.
You'll get: who your mover really is, how your price breaks down, any contract concerns, and where extra fees might show up. Send more than one quote, and you'll also get a side-by-side comparison. Every report ends with simple questions to ask before you sign.

|---|---|---|
| Total price | $4,180 | $3,760 |
| Deposit required | $500 | $1,200 |

One estimate
We check it against normal industry patterns. We flag anything unusual in the price or contract. And we show you exactly where your final cost could grow.
Two or three estimates
Everything above, for each quote. Plus a side-by-side comparison. You'll see exactly where the price, the terms, and what's included are different, and why.
What we don't do.
We can only help you if we're honest about our limits. Shield My Move does not:
- Promise how a mover will perform, or what your final price will be
- Give legal advice, or replace a lawyer's review of your contract
- Check facts beyond what public records and your documents show
- Recommend one mover over another
- Promise you'll save a certain amount of money
