re: You baws ever moved and bought the full package from 2 guys and a truck?

They use thugs who can’t find a job anywhere else. They ruined our furniture and took a two hour lunch and then charged us for the time. Mind you we bought their fricking lunch for them.

I've had movers twice. First time we let them do all the packing and moving (not 2 guys, some company my employer hired). When we unpacked, we realized just how much they didn't give a shite about our stuff. Luckily only a few things were broken, but It was crazy what was stacked on top of each other (garage tools on top of baby items, etc.).

Second time, we started packing boxes on our own as soon as we signed a contract. Spread it out over a month so it wasn't a nightmare. Still paid 2 guys and a truck to physically move the stuff though.

Next time I move I’ll pay more not to use 2men/truck. They scratched everything they touched.

Easier yet, have an estate sell, sell everything down to your underwear, and buy all new shite when you get where you're going.

this ^^^^^

in most cases you end up buying all new stuff any way as the wife decides they dont match the new house for some real or made up excuse

Open thread excepting something else. I am most disappoint.

I don't know how good they are, but you can go into the bigger UHAUL places and they have guys that will work moving for you for the day. So if you are just moving around town, you can use them to lift and load and unload.

As said, you are generally better off packing yourself and paying someone else to move you. They won't give a shite about packing well otherwise.

If you mean 2 Men and a Truck, we had a terrible experience with them (broken and missing items). For the next move we hired a local independent guy (Christian Movers). Older guy showed up in a truck with a young guy that he was carefully training. Best experience we've had with a mover.

I also second the tip on getting rid of as much stuff as possible before the move. We had a garage sale and donated two truckloads of stuff to a charity that picked up.

Sounds ghey

I used 2 Men and a truck about 10 months ago to move from Metairie to Old Jefferson. Mostly happy with the service. Guys were prompt packed everything day before next day was moving day. They will not move any weaponry,ammunition,plants,valuables or pets or food items, that's all on you, which is fine with me. Guys are pretty hard workers biggest f- up on their part was they packed a whole bunch of hardback books into one wardrobe box which made it super heavy and it disintegrated on the landing between the first and the second floor of new place. They looked at me and asked what to do. I was like hey you packed it like that you're just going to have to carry them upstairs to the office/spare room. Which they did.
I did a lot of downsizing of shite before I moved so they would be less stuff to pack and move. Basically moving from a two bedroom one and a half bath/ townhouse to a two bedroom 1&1/2 bath condo.

Only thing that got lost during the move was a Cox Cable mini box remote which I replaced off of eBay for like 19 bucks.

At 53 years old and having owned a pickup truck for most of my youth, I moved way more people than I ever want to and I said screw it I'm too old for this I'm paying someone else to do it. I want to say it was around 2500 but that included boxes packing material etc and the actual move.
