If we're comparing to software estimation, I'd say the author's estimates were successful.

The job was done in a short amount of time, it likely didn't put the entire moving in project at risk.

Same with software estimation, nobody fills their day with back to back 10 minute tasks, or at least they shouldn't be. Rather you budget a day or a week to get a few tasks completed based on their rough size. And you're generally pretty safe for high level planning.
