We are in the process of moving and got quotes from three different companies. Here's what we know so far.
Suddath never bothered to call back after contacting them several times.
Allstate wants a huge deposit and did not send a survey person to the home and did a phone quote. Huge red flag so we will not use them, although they gave a cheap price.
Mayflower came to our home and did the survey and said they would contact me in 2 days with a quote. A week went by and I had to call them and they gave us a reasonable quote. We did not like the fact they were irresponsible with the calling so will not use them.
United and Atlas also came and gave quotes. Liked them both and will use Atlas as they were the most professional, but the most expensive.
We were estimated at 6,000 lbs. with prices ranging from $4200-$4700. That is with us packing all boxes. None of them will give a guaranteed delivery date and the best I can get is a 2-12 day timeframe.
We bought all of our boxes from Home Depot as they are much cheaper there. $1.36 for large box. $10 for wardrobe cartons.
Make sure you request a guaranteed price not to exceed. This way if you are under weight you will get money back. If you get a binding quote there will not be a refund if your under the quoted lbs.
Good luck and hope your move goes smooth.
