overall very happy with the final price

overall very happy with the final price, one slight hiccup, I did not accept price on the day of the quote, following day clicked on email link, checked all details on site, price still showing same as original quote (lucky me) decided to pay, all going well used my thumprint to agree to payment, screen flashed and price jumped up, unsure what happened, checked bank account no payment, gambled not being scammed and accepted the increased rate, I just wish they had alerted me to price change before I reached payment poine, no problem with the increased rate and understand dynamic pricing
