This is a little behind, but the point remains the same.
Late last month, signed a lease for a new place. Problem being, it didn't clear til less than a week before expected move-in. I decided to call movers this time since I'm still new to the city, and the last two times I used a U-Haul I managed to hit something. I call these guys maybe 5 days before I was supposed to move out. They didn't have an opening that weekend except Friday morning (and I called Tuesday), and with only their pickup instead of their moving truck. That said, I didn't have much stuff to move, so that worked for me. And it was kinda my fault it happened this way anyway, so I was fittingly thankful for it.
Tip that pretty much applies to all movers, but still: Make sure you pack your stuff beforehand. This is something I learned living in another city before, but was all the more apparent here. While I practically finished only an hour before they arrived (and I pulled an all-nighter doing so), the movers thanked and complimented me for doing so, and it made the job a lot quicker.
And how quick it was. The entire move, from their arrival to drop off was just over I was amazed at how quick it went. Plus, despite my suspicions at my own capabilities in minimizing total space, they still managed to pack everything, EVERYTHING into that pickup.
A nice added bonus was the friendliness and great workmanship of the two movers. They got along well, and it was rather chummy to say the least. Finally, given the recent economic situation, it was pleasing to see them come at a relatively inexpensive rate. (And the fact that we went quickly kept the rate at a minimum)
If I stay in this city and need to move again, I know who to turn to. These guys were awesome.
