I'm surprised more people aren't using ABF (Arkansas Best Freight). When we moved last year that's all I read about on this board, was how great they were and how PODS wasn't. When I got an estimate I could get 4 ABF cubes for the price of 2 PODS, however they are smaller.
We ended up using Mayflower Moving Co. Four ABF cubes from Baltimore to here was $2700 and Mayflower gave me an estimate of $3400. After they picked up my furniture and boxes and took it to their hub and weighed it, they called and said it would only be $2700. In the end, we were suppose to be deliverd to on July 8th, three days after we moved in. They didn't arrive with our stuff until July 21th, I filed a claim via email the next day and I had a check in my mail for $2000 three days later. So it ended up only costing us $700.
