                      Subpart D_Estimating Charges

 

Sec. 375.409  May household goods brokers provide estimates?



    A household goods broker must not provide an individual shipper with 

an estimate of charges for the transportation of household goods unless 

there is a written agreement between the broker and you, the carrier, 

adopting the broker's estimate as your own estimate. If you make such an 

agreement with a broker, you must ensure compliance with all 

requirements of this part pertaining to estimates, including the 

requirement that you must relinquish possession of the shipment if the 

shipper pays you 110 percent of a non-binding estimate at the time of 

delivery.
