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 nonbinding estimate at the time of delivery.
