We went with the flat rate deal where you get 3 movers for 3 hours at $299. While it sounded like a great deal, these movers were not in any hurry to get our 2 bedroom apartment moved. We made sure to have everything in boxes and by the front door to make our move quicker however, these movers were moving so slow that my boyfriend & I had to step in & start helping or we would have easily went over the 3 hours. We don?t have a lot of heavy furniture as most of it is the particle board/engineered wood that they will NOT cover if they break it. The slowest mover of the 3 (and i mean slow moving as if almost dragging his feet when he walked), improperly loaded my desk on the dolly and it snapped in half and feel down the 3 flight of stairs. After a month of chasing the company, they would not reimburse me for the improper movement of my desk ?b/c that type of furniture does not move well and tends to break.? Movers are supposed to make your move less stressful and I was so stressed out by the time that they left. Next, time I?ll pay the money for the more expensive/better movers!
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Slow moving & improper handling of furniture
