My wife and I hired Pro Moving Company (or is it Bo's Moving, they seem to go by two different names) to move our furniture from our apartment to our new house. They told they would start between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. We called the day before to ask that the movers bring a contract with them and proof of insurance. The lady told us that they don't usually do contracts for local moves. After asking a couple of more times, she finally said that they would bring one for us. Well, around 9:30 am the morning of the move, no one had shown up. After about 5 calls, I finally got hold of someone who said they would check to see where the movers were and call me back.. 30 minutes later, I still hadn't gotten a call so I called again. After about 3 tries, I finally got hold of someone who told me that apparently the movers didn't show up that morning and that the moving truck was still at the office. Needless to say, I told them that we were going to use someone else. I actually feel relieved that we didn't let them move our belongings.
Pros: Easy to schedule a moving date
Cons: Didn't show up
