The moving company was horrendous. Came in the evening, announced we needed to buy them a couple of pizzas with pepperoni or they wouldn't have the strength to work and didn't finish loading up until midnight at which time they announced they had underestimated the weight and the cost was double the quote. There was nothing we could do but pay it. When we got down here and were waiting for them, a strange guy showed up and said he had answered a job posting on Craigslist to help unload a truck at our address. Class operation. Several pieces of furniture were damaged or completely broken and much of the hardware was missing. If we had to do it all again I would get a pod and also unload much more of the furniture before we moved. We had gotten rid of about 75% and should have done about 95%. Of the 25% we brought, about 20% ended up at Bargains and Treasures with everyone else's furniture that they brought down and no longer wanted.
