Moving up North. Anyone have recommendations for moving companies? Would be a multi-day move. We may or may not request packing assistance but aren't sure yet.

Any info would be appreciated!

I haven't used them personally, but I know someone that used Abba Movers. They have different service options from doing a full move for you, or they can do a "labor only" move. That's where you have a truck and they come and load it up for you (that way you have custody and control over your stuff the entire time, which some people like). I heard they move safes too.

Not sure if you've moved yet or not, but I've used Three movers LINK / before and they were pretty good. No problems to speak of and they were cheaper than most of the others I saw. They offer packing help, storage, etc. if you need more than just moving too.

Not 2 men and a truck. I used them for a move and went 10 boxes over the estimated amount and they wanted to charge me 6k more for the extras. I ended up having to rent a uhaul to carry the extras so I didn't get gouged.

If I had to do it again I would do the packing myself and take care of the boxes and let them just handle the furniture.

Abba.

Had to use a different company because I waited too long to book Abba.

The move took twice as long and was twice as expensive as the last time I used Abba.

Go with a major carrier like United, Atlas, etc. They can do a virtual survey of your home for your quote. They can store your things at one of their facilities and they won’t hold your stuff hostage. The cheaper carriers are notorious for going way over their quote and then keeping your shipment until you pay the difference. Most reputable companies will not require a deposit. Make sure you research your carrier before signing anything.

Do not accept the lowest bid. I would recommend going with a major carrier.

Northshore Movers were great and professional in every way. And affordable.

Using Geaux Movers was 1 of the worst experiences of my life.

I’ve used Abba a few times, the last time being in June. They were short handed and only sent two guys (usually have 3 or 4). Took all day and they didn’t have time to assemble everything like they do usually. They charge by the hour, of course. Was kind of shitty. Two guys they sent were beasts though. If you got a lot of stuff, make sure you get 3 or 4 guys
