We moved from Attleboro MA to The Villages in 2010 and used ABF. Same experience as Bosoxfan. They dropped off trailer in our driveway, 3 days to load, used friends and relatives to help, put up wall and lock off your belongings and then they fill any unused space on goods coming to FL (not other home goods). Then they hold in Ocala and deliver to your driveway here and you have 3 days to unload. Much cheaper than major moving companies suggested by The Villages and they were not accommodating on providing an exact delivery date. If they come too soon, they unload, store and charge you for 2nd move. Villages will not let anything in your driveway until after you pass papers at closing. We closed at 9am and trailer came at 1pm. We used charter school football players to help unload (don't think they do that anymore though).
