I have moved up and down the east coast multiple times. After my first move from Miami to Virginia, during which I used movers, I was very disappointed with the whole industry. I therefore moved from Virginia to NY myself with multiple UHaul Trailers. This was a very tiresome and long experience.
My most recent move was from NY to Atlanta and I went with Americas Moving Services. Admittedly, I was sceptical at first, however the entire experience has been very eye opening and positive. Their quote over the phone was only a couple of hundred pounds off (probably due to the fact that I have a ridiculous amount of heavy texts). I dealt directly with Eric and he was at all time extremely professional, helpful and available.
The Pickup (Wednesday):
The three man team was late by only a few hours but they made up the time in loading everything carefully and efficiently. The team was courteous and willing to help pack the last few items. The team leader contacted the delivery driver directly in front of me to confirm the date of delivery (Sunday or Monday).
En route (Friday):
I received a phone call directly from the driver stating that he would be there on Sunday afternoon between 1pm and 2pm. He told me that the balance would have to be paid in terms of money order or cash. However, I had already discussed using a Cashier's Check with Eric previously. Again, not a problem. Eric called the driver and it was all taken care of.
Delivery (Sunday):
At noon, the driver contacted me that he was an hour away. All items were delivered carefully and efficiently. I have just finished unpacking and so far I do not see ANY thing damaged. Quite impressive. I did have to pay an additional Long Carry charge on delivery. However, once I saw the distance we had to walk from the elevator, I would have charged myself that!
Overall:
Extremely professional moving company for a reasonable rate. I will likely be moving again in two years and hope that they are still around. I have already recommended four other people to use their services.
Thank you all.
