I highly recommend this moving company to anyone moving: house, condo, or apartment.
I actually researched moving companies when preparing for our move from a 3rd floor apartment to a house. Due to a bad moving experience a couple of years ago (bad service and charged us way over what the quote was because we had "heavy boxes") I wanted to check out reviews from previous customers. I found information about Win Van Lines on craigslist, and then read many rave reviews on Google. It had the most positive feedback out the 4 or 5 different moving companies I looked at. I first had narrowed it down to two. Win had me fill out a form online, marking the number of beds, TV's, couches, boxes, etc. Then they emailed me a quote, which ended up being very reasonable. They did not charge any extra for stairs, mileage, or moving us on a holiday (Memorial Day). The other moving company actually sent someone out to our apartment to take a look around and give us a free estimate. The guy went to each room and wrote down everything we had....basically wasted about 2 hours of my day off. He then emailed me the quote later which was around $2500. Pretty ridiculous for a small 2 bedroom apartment! We went with WIN van lines , and I'm very glad we did.
The 3 movers were great: hard workers, many years of experience, quick, and friendly. They talked and joked around with me, They ended up setting down the last box at the 3 or 4 hour mark, on the dot. The total was exactly what I had been quoted. My one small complaint was that they showed up 20 minutes late. However, they didn't start the clock until the minute they grabbed the first box.
