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 2.

Painter starts work on September 15, returns on September 16 and at noon, when Laurie comes home for lunch, Painter tells her the work is taking longer than he expected so he will have to charge her $3500. Laurie is upset but Painter shows her the work and she sees the work is good. Painter explains that he underestimated the time involved because she has two balconies and painting those took much more time.
