Alright. I looked for movers online. I found reviews here and there for movers but Stallion had the best combination of good reviews and good prices. So I went to www dot stallionmovingservices dot com and got a quote. The office manager got me contracted and set up. He didn't even seem worried, which is amazing since this is what he heard:
5 bedroom house. 2 big screen TVs (old school big screens). 1 baby grand piano. $45,000 in antiques. Home woodworking shop in the garage.
8 hours later, one happy customer. Moving is stressful. Moving, with a load of possessions like mine, is mind-numbingly stressful. Or it was, until I got a hold of Stallion. They sent 5 guys over to take care of the move. To be honest, all five of them looked like they could carry my piano out by themselves if need be. When they arrived, one of them got to going over the contract with me while the rest started sizing up the house and planning the load. With the preliminaries out of the way, they started wrapping breakables in pads, shrinkwrapped the pads to the items, and moved things out. I have NEVER had a move where nothing got damaged, at all, except for this one. And I mean never. Every time, I have something priceless that gets dropped or scratched. But not this time. These guys got the job done, and even had the skill to reassemble a couple of expensive pieces (above and beyond for movers). I'm pretty sure that if I'd gotten anyone else, I'd be trying to make an insurance claim right now instead of setting up my new house. Warning: they are busy. But they are busy because they are good, so work with them on scheduling your move.
