Long distance moving company recs?

I'm looking to get a quote for moving from NY to FL.  I have contacted Allied but want to get another estimate.  What are good reputable national moving companies?

Re: Long distance moving company recs?

  • Most moving companies are franchises, so X being good in someone's town doesn't mean they'll be good in another town.

    Check movingscam.com.

  • Some other national companies are United, Mayflower, then there are like PODs and PackRat; but their prices were close to having my stuff loaded and unloaded and I would have to do it myself Confused. We ended up having an estimate that was "binding" so no matter if our weight was over, the price wouldn't change.

    Also, I personally did not get the additional damage protection and I am happy I saved the $500. Nothing was damaged.

  • Ask around locally (friends, family, local board, coworkers, realtor) as each branch is different. That said, when you meet with them,  you will get a vibe from each. Are they responsive? Do they subcontract parts/all of it? GL!

  • Within the last month I moved from WV to FL and DH and I went with Uhaul and some of our family came down for a few days to help us unload. It was the most economical for us. Also, if you wanted to do something like that but wanted a little help unloading most local movers will give you an hourly rate (some with a discount!) to use their services. And, if you need, they are available to set up things as well...

  • We used ABF and just hired help for the loading and unloading. It was much cheaper than a full service mover in our case for the cross country move.

  • My brother used POD for a move from LA to Seattle a few months ago and seemed to like it. He said it was very affordable and had no complaints.
