Carol - In my opinion, the $825 would be a smokin' deal, especially if it's for all the contents of a house and they're moving you from Daytona Beach. Check references, BBB info, etc. to whatever extent makes you feel comfortable. Understand how they handle damaged or lost items from a claim/coverage standpoint in case something gets boogered up in the process of moving - some companies require you to pay extra for coverage above and beyond some minimum amount they include in the price. Get everything in writing up-front.
We paid $525 a couple of years ago for a small, local moving company to provide two fellows along with a truck to move only major furniture items from our previous house to our current place in OH. It consisted of the furniture contents of 3 bedrooms, some family room items, and the typical dining room things. No appliances, no televisions, no boxes, no clothes, and so on - just things Sandy and I would have been hard pressed to handle on our own. Total moving distance: 4 miles one way. They priced the job on a per-hour basis with an estimate of 4 to 5 hours. Took them 5. Given the great job they did and how careful they were with our stuff, I was tickled pink with the cost.
Again, for your situation, $825 sounds extremely reasonable if they do the job to your satisfaction. JMHO....
