Despite having moved in 12 places in the last 8 years in America, I’ve always moved myself – even interstate (used Penske and towed my car – great company). However, I’m over it!

Does anyone have any experience with Inter-State moving companies? I have very, very little (a couch, a table, a wardrobe, some collapsible shelving and a tonne of books in boxes and that’s it. No bed or anything else). I’ve always been so scared of moving companies saying they’ll charge you X amount but then you pay double when they deliver or scared that something will go missing.

If anyone has any experience, I’d love to hear!

Update: Thanks to all the suggestions, I went with Atlas. They were also recommended to AAA and the Beter Business Bureau. I had 4 companies come out to give me quotes and only the Atlas guy sat down to explain how it worked and the cost per pound. Plus I could chose a binding or non-binding contract (I chose binding but my actual cost was lower than my estimate).

My driver was amazing, they packed everything quickly and wonderfully onto the truck. They picked it up on a Monday and dropped it off first thing Saturday morning. Again, unloaded quickly and wonderful. Nothing lost or broken. Love that!
