Moving Companies
First, I would like to say we have learned a great deal from TOTV over the last 10 months by just reading and listening. Thank You so much.
We have purchased a preowned in Mallory Square and closing May 20. Now we need movers. Has anyone used or know of someone that used MOVERS ONE out of Ocala, FL? We are moving from the Daytona Beach area and they gave us a firm quote of $825. Also called Florida Family Movers and Village Movers...both quoted $100/hr for 2 men, but no approximate hours. We have a 2 bedroom heavy furnished. Saw their ad in the Daily Sun. We have no idea if the price is good. Can anyone help? Thanks |

$825? I would be over the moon for such a low cost. Our movers are tellilng us $11,000. Yes, $11,000. We are coming from NM though. I am trying to get rid of more stuff to lower the cost.
When hubby was there a few weeks ago, I hired 2 movers to help him unload a trailer full. It was $98 for two hours. These folks are out of Ocala and worth a call.....G adn G Moving. 407-276-2252. Good luck and have a safe move. |

$100/hr for 2 men is going to cost a lot more than $825. You need some good references for Movers One and you should be good to go (easy for me to say)....gn

Movers
We used UNITED / SUBBATH andboy are we sorry... We had to put our things in storage for two weeks and then they lost some furniture, damaged furniture and lost items. NEVER AGAIN and as often as I can I will tell people not to use them. I kn ow some people may have a good experience with them but it was heartbreaking to loose some items that can never be replaced. Their reply was Sorry but things will happen.

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.... Bill |

Thanks for the Help
Thanks for the hints.
We know we will love The Villages. We stayed a month last July before deciding on our move and knew living in The Villages is what we wanted to do. Just took awhile to sell our home, but we made it |

I was going to tell you to get some more estimates, since you have some time, but I see that you have some suggestions here.
As long as you have several estimates, it "keeps 'em honest," if you know what I mean. Now, start asking whatever questions you might have, to make sure you're getting the best deal. |

Just used Bekins from NY.
Good price and excellent packing and unloading. Placed what they could in house. Next organized boxes in garage for sane unpacking. Even had rows spaced to use rest of the garage area. |
