We used a PODS to move from WV here. Service was great and on time. POD was clean and basically brand new. Loaded it myself over a 5 day period and unloaded it into the garage in about 3 or 4 hours. Listen to what your driver tells you about how to load and secure your belongings. Remember, you want everything to be tight so that nothing moves around enroute. I tied off each section (there are tie points on the walls). Nothing broken or damaged.

Would use PODS again except I don't plan on moving again!

I'm moving in next month and questioned by mover about bed bugs, etc. He assured me that my mattresses would be wrapped in plastic and then boxed and that the trucks were sprayed after each use. I have to have faith that is true.

I will be using Allied next month. THeir estimate from Orlando to TV was reasonable and I have heard good things about them.

Default Beware The Villages Moving Service

This company is located in Ocala and damaged three pieces of furniture during our 2 mile move within the Villages. We paid the bill and the movers left before we realized they did NOT leave a receipt. When we called to report the damage, we were told to get an estimate and submit the claim. Once we did that, we were told we had to weigh the pieces and we would be paid 60 cents per pound. One of the pieces is massive and was damaged because the kids they sent to move us could not handle it. We asked how we supposed to get the weight and were told to weigh a truck, load the piece and reweigh the item. What a croc!! We are now out $600 for repairs plus the move was $300 over the estimate. Avoid this company at all costs.

I used Village Movers for two moves..Mine, from Lynhaven to Glenbrook, and My bride fromBoca Raton to our new home...The Lynhaven move went without hitch and was pleasurable..The one Boca not so much. All I'd say is get exact costs and crew size BEFORE the move. That way there will be no chance of "misunderstanding" later.
