We moved about 500 miles two years ago. The moving industry is one with a lot of "bad actors" and ripoff artists. First of all, I'd get three quotes and insist on a "not to exceed" estimate, and reject an open ended, or fixed price estimate. I had a really good experience with my movers, a very legitimate company in the DC area. I bought the insurance and provided them with a list of the high-priced items as part of the process of obtaining that. I also packed all my equipment in the original factory cartons and was on premise for both the loading and unloading.
Should I trust movers with my equipment?
Should I trust household movers with my equipment for
a long distance move (about 1100 miles)?
I would pack everything myself in mostly original boxes and
double boxing most things beyond that.
No big speakers, just a bunch of expensive electronics and monitors.
Or should I just rent a truck and drive my stuff by myself?
Thanks.
