Let me start by telling you that I have a housefull of antiques that I moved to Michigan years ago. The last movers I used were part of a larger company called Atlas. They put two scratches in a mans wardrobe that I had to pay a furniture repair person to fix. I also had to fix a curved glass peice from my china cabinet. That being said, I was extremely nervous to do the move back to Worcester expecially at my age (71). Anyhow, we hired the Monster Movers mainly because they provided us with references from local companies in Worcester and Ann Arbor with whom they moved antiques and artwork for. They came weeks before the actual move and measured the peices to build crates for the artwork. It was a little pricey but I guess the rates have gotten higher than they were twenty years ago. The move went well. We paid extra for a door to door moving service that guaranteed our furniture in Massachusetts within 2 days. Both trucks arrived together and on time. At the offload they sent 3 more fellows who were helpful and made things go a lot faster. They did not charge us for the extra three men because it was included in the line haul amount that we agreed to in Michigan. There was not a single scratch or bump or rub on anything. Well, our sofa had a bit of dust from the truck because the saran wrap rubbed off while it was in transit but it was an easy cleanup.
