Before a mover loads your shipment, the van is weighed on a certified scale, and then weighed again after your shipment is loaded. The difference between the two weights is the net weight of your shipment. Final charges are based on that net weight. It is possible to make arrangements with your mover to observe this official weighing. You can also arrange for a re-weigh before your goods are unloaded at your new home. Some movers automatically re-weigh before delivery when the billed weight is noticeably higher than the estimated weight. For more information about weighing your shipment, contact a moving company in your area.
