Ontario law, where Atlantic is based, prohibits a moving company from charging a customer more than 10 per cent above the contracted amount unless the customer agrees in writing.
It's not just moving companies. Ontario law prohibits ANY business from charging more than 10% above the estimated/contracted cost, without agreement in writing from the customer.
. That's where they get you...they know that on your moving day you don't have time to read page after page of densely worded fine print so they just speed you through it and you miss the added billing " just sign here, here, and here and you're all set!"
Or even if you do catch it they know most people can't do anything about it on their moving day. You usually have to book a mover weeks in advance and most people don't have that luxury. Or your stuff is already on the truck and held hostage until you sign it
