Local moves maybe fine, but I had a horrible experience with an interstate move from Austin to Irvine Calif. The initial quote was $2000. Then, after a representative visited my Austin apartment at my request, the quote went to $3000 because of furniture I had in storage. By the time the furniture arrived in Calif (the movers kept my items on the truck until I paid in full and signed all their documents), I was charged about $5300. Make sure you get all the documents you have to sign in advance and get a fixed price for your move. Otherwise you WILL get screwed. The movers lost material, returned the following day with the missing components, but wouldn't complete moving and assembling all items unless I paid more money. If you are moving out of state, don't use Elephant.
Pros: Pickup was fine
Cons: Kept raising the cost by the time furniture arrived in CA
