Before I booked my movers, many people gave me advice about either getting a flat rate or going with an hourly rate. And although I understand why the majority of the people recommended flat rate, I decided to try Basic Movers and an hourly rate. The flat rate quote from another company was about $1000. Basic Movers estimated my move to be about $600 - and I actually ended up paying $450. So I can say this much - Basic Movers did not try to con me in any way. They were up-front and they delivered. The guys came on-time, packed up the furniture and breakables nicely, were professional and they were very fast. Overall they were a great team and I am happy to recomend them. One tip to people who are moving - ORGANIZE your boxes and everything you are moving before the movers get there. That is the key. We color coded each item with where it would go in the new house (went to staples and just bough different color stickys) - then laid out the plan for the movers based on the color coding. That helped make it go very fast as there was no debate once you got to the new house on where things were suppoed to go.
Pros: Professional, On-Time, Fast, Careful
