The salesman for the moving company told us they only use company people. I did a beautiful careful job painting the rail going to our second floor. The moving guys, they may have been company employees, they were nice guys but they had no idea how to move stuff.
My armoire. Like most large furniture, comes apart for moving. They tried to move it in one piece and discovered it could not make the turn at the top of the stairs. They had to carry it back, damaging my beautiful paint job AND THE FURNITURE to then take it apart. It was a long distance move. Arrival in the villages, a new home not a resale.
Same driver but different crew doing the unload. On this end. Same piece of furniture.
On this end the crew dropped it through the bedroom wall.
An ADVENTURE.

The old saying about lawyers applies here, how do you know the moving sales rep is lying? His lips are moving.
We used a national moving company to come here. Turns out they advertise the move and a driver who reps for them will bid and take the job. The driver will hire a couple of helpers on both ends of the move.
First group was great and did a good job. Local ones damaged a few items and placed them where we could not see the damage.
Overall went ok but not an industry that is exactly trustworthy.
