1. On May 15, Ted contacts Able Movers because he needs to move from his house in San Jose to
San Francisco the first week of June. Ted saw an Able Movers advertising flyer, which showed a
wide range of services and good testimonials from customers. Ted has also consulted other
movers, but Ted is impressed by the flyer. He also wants Able Movers to examine all the items
for the estimate because he wants Able Movers to pack them as needed. Able comes and says
the work should only take one day, and Able should provide the estimate by phone in a few
days. But Ted calls Able’s manager on May 25 and asks if Able is still going to do the job since it
has not yet provided the price. Able’s manager promises the work will start on June 2and
provide the estimate soon. Ted is happy that Ted and Able employees come on June 2 and start
packing. The next morning, Able Movers takes everything in the house to San Francisco, move
the items in and hand Ted the bill for $5,000. Ted calls Able’s manager and says the price it is
much higher than the estimates he had gotten from two other moving companies closer to
$3000. Able says this is because they had to use special packaging for Ted’s artwork, sculptures
and paintings, which took additional time and required special expertise. Able says their
expertise is described in the advertising flyer that Ted had seen.. Is there a contract? Does Ted
have to pay $5,000? Anything? Explain. 4 sentences
