Binding estimate with actual-weight recalculation

Why it matters: The estimate is labeled Binding, but another provision appears to allow the final transportation charge to be recalculated from actual shipment weight. These provisions appear to describe different pricing mechanisms.

What to ask: Please confirm in writing whether the quoted binding transportation price can change solely because the actual shipment weight differs from the estimate, and identify which pricing provision controls.

Deposit percentage of quoted total

The deposit of $1,400 is 43.75% of the quoted total of $3,200. This is an informational calculation, not a judgment about the deposit.

Released Value practical liability

With Released Value at $0.60 per pound per article, a 50 lb item would be covered at $30.00 (50 × $0.60). This is the carrier's liability limit under this option, not insurance coverage.
