Important to check that they are not just brokers. Look under Better business bureau to see how many trucks they have, complaints lodged etc. I moved from the Jersey Shore this month. You should have an exact list of sizes and number of boxes etc. They can give an estimate without coming to look at stuff. They factor in weight of items also.Don't be bullied into tipping each guy. Read reviews of customers and yes, they are probably paid or who knows who write them. Get multiple estimates in writting. I was very nervous about the whole thing and did not have anything I felt was important, put on the truck. My car was packed! I had 1 BR worth of stuff and paid just under $3k all together.
Know that my stuff was suppose to be delivered in 4-5 days but it was 7. If you only need boxes transported, look into options. These guys want to wrap, box and disassemble. That's where the price can go up. Use that to barter with. Know they are extremely busy.
