I'm more than happy to write this review on Safe World Moving and Storage. I moved back home to Georgia from California because my dad hasn't been feeling well. Originally I was looking into renting a truck because the quotes that I was getting were way to expensive or suspiciously low. My Husband and I were just going to rent a truck with a trailer to pull our car behind, but when we started getting prices and figuring in all the gas, stops, and paying people to help, I was just so turned off by the whole thing. Now I've moved across the country before and have a good idea on how the moving thing works because a couple of times I felt as though I had been taken advantage of. Finally in the middle of all this I got a quote from Safe World and it was very reasonable. I liked what I heard, I liked the price I was quoted and after I checked them out we went ahead and reserved a move with them. It would of cost us more money at that point if we were to do it ourselves anyway. On 11/7 the day we were scheduled to be picked up my husband and I were still scrambling around packing last minute things. Then the driver called us and said that he would be here within an hour. When they came they seemed really nice and my husband ran out and got them coffee and donuts. After that they went right to work taking apart my furniture and wrapping it up and loading it on the truck. I was still rushing to get the rest of my packing done and the movers helped me finish it. It was only a few odds and ends that I just had to throw in a box but I thought that was nice of them, especially after I just watched them take apart half of my house and load it on to a truck. We had 4375 pounds of furniture and boxes on the quote. So at 55 cents a pound the total cost was $2407 and it also included everything except packing. We gave them $902 and they left for Georgia. So far We had given them a $602 deposit and $902 on the pick up for a total of $1504. That means if all goes to plan we will only owe another $902 the remaining balance. My husband and I drove back to the east coast and settled in the best we could with what little we had. On the 12th day from the day we were moved out of our house in California our stuff had arrived. We were a little over on our weight only because my husband refuses to throw anything away. So it turned out to be a total weight of 4728 pounds with a total of $2600 and we felt that it was very fair. The price was great, the service was excellent, the guys were nice and they got our furniture to us in a very timely fashion in the same condition as it left us in California. I want to say Thank You Safe World Moving and Storage for all your help and professionalism. You will be the only company I call when I go back to the west coast. Sincerely, Mr & Mrs. Falco
