Re: Full Service Moving Companies
Well, the cluster has begun.
I had scheduled a quote with United Vanlines between 12 and 3 today. By 3:30, nobody had shown up, so I called United. They then forwarded my call to a "local contractor" - first mention that there was a third party involved - who hung up on me twice before dealing with me. They claimed they never got a request to do an estimate from United, and that they "don't really" service my area (read: we had to say we would to get the contract, but we aren't actually going to come out there).
So I followed up with ABF U-Pack, who had sent me a very reasonable quote. Oh yeah, when they actually looked at it, they decided not to come out here either.
Back to the drawing board. I just filled out the Moving.com quote requestor tool. We'll see what happens in the next 24 hours I guess. To look on the bright side, at least I'm discovering that people aren't going to show up now, rather than on the day they're supposed to be moving me.

United was the company we were most likely to use according to Grace because they got great reviews, but their rep showed up 5 hours late, and she was the one that gave us an estimate that was half of what everyone else quoted. So we dropped them from the list real quick. Hang in there and keep looking. :)
