If there is no written contract required under § 700.2, and the contractor furnishes an estimate of the charges to the owner for the transportation of household goods, and the actual charges sought to be collected exceed that estimate by more than ten percent (10%) of the estimate, the contractor shall deliver the household goods to the owner upon the payment of the amount of the estimate plus ten percent (10%).
Once the goods have been delivered and partial payment made under § 703.1, the owner shall have a period of fifteen (15) days following delivery in which to pay the balance.
