we will be moving from Georgia. Any suggestions on a good moving company?

The Villages relocation folks (Karen Madsen is one) put us in contact with a couple of movers and supposedly it will be at a discount. It was Atlas and Mayflower.

Their queries to me were very timely and courteous, but I can't comment on the move as we've not moved yet. However, I do plan to get a quote in due time, just to compare.
We're also going to look at Uhaul/Penske/PODS etc and hire a couple of guys on each end.
Good luck, let us know how you fare.

Any suggestions on moving the furniture within The Villages??

Has anyone used Village Movers??

We used Village Movers in 2004. Then, they were very inexpensive and reliable. And, we only had them move 2 or 3 pieces of furniture.

Also in the move from WIS we used a POD. Worked well for us but probably not for everybody.

Hello,
In 2006 we moved down from Indiana. We rented 2 Penske trucks for $900.00each truck.
We had family help us on one end. When we got down to TV, we called Brandon Duran Moving Service 352-804-8720 from Ocala. VERY HAPPY with them. Not sure if they are still in business. Good luck with your move.

We found an ad in the daily paper for, I think it was, Two Brothers. They moved some furniture into our home. We will hire them again.

We did call Village Movers to move from Lynnhaven to Hadley..They were very careful, and did not waste time..They were in and out and did a great job!

I would certainly recommend them to any one looking for a reliable company..I look forward to the day we move from PIA Pa., to TV..

Village's Relocation put us in touch with two movers and their estimates were very high. We went with Bekins instead and saved over $1,000. Benkins also included "free" housecleaning for our old house which turned out to be a big benefit.

Try ABF if you do some of the work. Moved from Michigan about $1600.Pay by how much of the trailer you use. I have more info if you like.

I, too, am moving in late October from Boytnon Beach. An in-state move. Called relocation services but when they discovered we did not list our current property we are selling with their "people" they weren't enthusiastic or much help. They recommended United and Atlas I know many folks have moved to the Villages from south Florida.....any recommendations???

[quiltaddict]

i moved from Ft. Lauderdale to TV and used Mayflower. They were excellent, cheaper than Atlas and United, very careful with furniture and accessories, AND they arrived at my front door in TV exactly when they said they would. I highly recommend Mayflower from South Florida.

We will be moving from village to village in about a month and the bed bug scare has me petrified that the movers could have bed bugs in their trailers, blankets, etc. Not sure what to do.

We used United Van Lines and NEVER NEVER again. They damaged our stuff and lost some items. They don't seem to be in a hurry to locate the missing pieces and boxes. One of my neighbors used United also and said to STAY AWAY from United. They also lost itmes. United Van Lines was our nightmare of coming to the Villages. EVERYTHING else is great. Come and enjoy the good like..... rodgers13743

[/B] I am moving to the Villages in November, but am curious as to why you are moving away from Boynton Beach. I had considered moving there and am curious. Thanks.

We were given Allied & United by the relocation office of The Villages. Both came to our home in MASS and gave estimates for our move. United was twice the amount of Allied. We were going to go with Allied but they could only estimate time of arrival in FL as between 3-12 days. We would not have owned the house until day 8 so we had to rethink our move. We hired a trailer from ABF ( you pay by linear ft used) and relatives and friends helped us load it. We had a guaranteed delivery day and time, arrived on time and then we hired high school kids on this end to unload. They were great. Call Troy at 352-874-8958. We heard about him on TOTV. Hard-working, careful and respectful teenagers and FAST! Just moved in last Fri.
