I used them once and will never do it again. I too thought it was a small operation, but that doesn't bother me. What does bother me is that I was quoted a certain time and rate over the phone for the move. When the movers arrive they tell me that the woman I talked to is new, and quoted the wrong price. It's actually twice as much. Oh gee and there's a lot more than we thought there would be too!

I warned the woman that there was a lot of boxes and she indicated she could send 3 guys if I thought it would be a good Idea. I said she should, and of course I got 2 young kids. Instead of the quoted price of $400, and 3-4 hours (all it should have taken) It cost me $1000.00 and 8 hours!! I threw a fit, but they have you by the short hairs.

I later read in a consumer advice column that this is a common scam that you should look out for. Never use a verbal quote etc. etc. Yeah, now you tell me.

6 months later I bought a house and moved using a real two guy operation (which I thought was a major one!). They not only moved the same amount of goods for the same distance, they had a harder move because of stairs at both locations. These were two very strong men, not kids and they did the whole move in 3 hours for $350.00. And the way they did it was really educational. These guys were MOVERS, not some people hired to move things. They knew some pretty interesting tricks.
