We just did this 6 weeks ago and I believe there are two issues here...
* The local agent for the various firms, Mayflower, Bekins etc. They come out to estimate the weight of your belongings and provide the cost estimate - including the packing you want them to do. That determines how much you will pay.
* The actual team that does the work of packing, loading, moving and unloading. This facet is more important but is difficult to get such a referral.
We used Atlas and were extremely lucky to have a perfect move. Nothing lost, broken or late. That result was due to the particular team Atlas assigned to our move. If we ever have to move again, I will use only that team - no matter who they are working for (pardon the grammar). I will pass that team's name on to anyone who contacts me via PM.
