Ok so we hired Sterling at rather short (3 day notice) and they gave us a decent price and showed up on time and did the job thoroughly, helping to do some light packing and setting up stuff at the new apt. There were a few broken plates, which was probably the result of my poor packing and I was a bit bugged by the 'expected' 30% tip which was immediately 'explained' upon their arrival, which I would have liked to have known about in advance. After the tip they worked out to be essentially the same price as quoted by Flat Rate (if the Flat Rate costs had really been without any extra costs). Generally pleased, and I'd probably use them again... under six hours for a 2BR apt moved 25 blocks.
Pros: On Time, Fast, Short Notice, Thorough
Cons: 30% tip, a few broken pieces
