Professional movers

[lucianooreira766]

I'm looking for a professional moving company, it would be great if you could recommend something decent.

 

[old_man]

OK, I'll bite....what are you moving?

 

[YoKramer]

Also would probably get better answers in your regional sub forum.

What you are moving is key. And there are some things I would not even trust to professional movers. If it can't be replaced you are best off taking responsibility for it yourself.

And if looking for specific recommendations, then it matters where you are and where you intend to go. Many movers are like professional contractors and they have regions they work in.

I'm gonna agree with the guys, it depends on the area and on the stuff you're planning to move. In case you're looking for a company within the US, you can check out Columbia Movers Moving from Boston to Columbia | Stark Moving and Storage Inc. Hope it'll be helpful.

Yea well, I don't recommend Trust-A-Bro Moving Company not to mention the tracksuits are a little dated. ;)

The big national movers are often the best. We have used United twice. They were neither the cheapest nor the most expensive but they billed exactly what they quoted and nothing got damaged. Incredibly professional.

Our last move was 2500 miles.

We are moving from SC to Chicago in a few months and are trying to decide if it's worth it to hire professional movers or do it ourselves. My family has always done it ourselves, but I have a ten month old and just don't know if I can manage it. For those of you who've used professional movers, was it worth it? What company would you recommend?

There are too many variables.

It is not just how far you are moving, but how much you need to move, and how much of what.

There are some things that movers simply will not move. There are some things that cannot be replaced if the movers damage them. There are some things that I just would not trust in anyone else's hands. And there is the question of the cost and your own budget, versus the time you have available to do it yourself.

Short story: We hired professional movers 24 years ago to move our household about 6 miles. We moved the stereo system, and the heirloom China ourselves along with a small amount of other personal irreplaceable items. As they were loading our old armoire into their truck, the lead man exclaimed to me- this thing is falling apart! I retorted, you’d be a bit fragile too if you were 150 years old. His attitude changed immediately and they handled everything after that very carefully.

I looked at it this way. If I moved all our stuff there would be no insurance if I damaged it. If professionals damage something they are insured. If your furnishings are worth anything, hire a pro. One of the big carriers, mayflower, allied, etc.

That’s gotta be it. Probably doing long time on terminal island. 2 years eh? I’m always very fashionably late.

I'm moving this month, and plan on renting an uhaul trailer. 2 hours distance, hopefully it won't be too many trips.

Start to read a lot of reviews and don't try to save money on high quality service, it will cost you more. Tested on my own. Hired some movers for my first move and it was a disaster. A lot of hidden fees and broken items. At my second move I got all my tips from Three Movers | Movers With Truck | 1,2,3 Guys Or More | Best Movers With Truck Near Me. So I analyzed very well who I pay Chicago Safe Movers ... Read reviews, asked for price estimations, confirmed they have proper licenses.

also thank you
