Quantcast
"You Load/We Drive" moves are usually much less expensive than full-service moves. You control your moving costs by loading your items yourself within the space you reserve. Charges are based on space used and distance traveled; weight is not considered. Because you load your own shipment, you are primarily responsible if scratches, dents, and breakage occur, although your shipment is covered for damage caused by company negligence or catastrophes.
Full service moving companies do the loading, driving, and unloading for you and also pack your items if desired. However, these moves are usually much more expensive than self-moves. Charges are based on the weight of the shipment and distance traveled. Items are covered for damage caused by company negligence or catastrophes and you can also buy enhanced valuation coverage for scratches, dents, and breakage from the company.
Auto transport companies These auto transporters own their own trucks and have their own drivers. They are not brokers that would shop your move to the lowest bidder and keep you waiting until someone agrees to move your car. If you ship your car with them, you can talk to the driver so you will always know where your car is. They are not cut-rate operators, but reviews show that they have performed very well for customers at reasonable cost.
Auto transport brokers do not own their own trucks. They book your car with the actual carrier and charge a small fee (typically $150-$200) to do so. A good broker with many contacts can be very helpful. However, choose one like ProStar that works with high-quality carriers and will not just place your car with the lowest bidder. The broker should also stay on top of your move so you know where your car is and when it will be delivered.
International moving companies arrange for your goods to be seen and measured, packaged, moved to port or airport, transported internationally, and delivered. For safety, be sure that any company you contract with is licensed by the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC).
MovingScam-Approved Companies There are many good moving companies besides the few companies that are formally endorsed by MovingScam. The following companies are properly licensed and insured. They have numerous excellent, believable reviews and few or no complaints, showing that they are committed to providing high-quality moves. They have each assigned a person to help MovingScam customers with any problems that may arise.  
 
In view of this, MovingScam has given these companies its seal of approval. This seal of approval is a step below formal endorsement only because, as van line agents, they are not able to control every move from start to finish, although they are able to control moves that they do using their own trucks and drivers. Especially for the latter type of move, MovingScam.com recommends these companies with confidence.

I am getting quotes from 4 movers for an interstate move from South Florida to Philadelphia (the destination will be a city home). The companies are: Brandon Transfer & Storage Co, C&C Shippig & Moving, Arnoff Moving & STorage, and Bohrens Moving & Storage, Inc. If you have input complaints or compliments--I would appreciate it to help me make my evaluation. Many thanks.

Bohrens is a well known, and respected United Van Lines agency that also has an office in Princeton NJ. Call them for a quote and see what they offer.

Yes, they have visited and are working on the estimates, which I should have today. Now I am doing the checks through Better Business Bureau and other avenues to check references and complaints.

Without even seeing the estimate, I'm leaning toward Bohren's because of their reputation. The local Allied guy was not on time for the appointment, and then is going to be a day late with the estimate. Not a good first impression.

I also talked with Moovers on the phone since this site recommends them. They provided an estimate based on the weight and other criteria used by one of the other moving companies. Any experience with Moovers, Inc.?

I am also wanting to move two cars and most of these companies are recommmending that I use a car carrier service. Any experience with them?

The estimate is less important as my husband's company is paying for the move. I want to ensure I get the best company from a customer service perspective.

All of the compnaies you have received quotes from should be able to arrange the transport of the cars for you. They can move them on-van or through a carrier that they arrange. The on van option for both vehicles and your HHG will depend on the amount of HHG you are moving. Since it a corp relocation the higher cost of the on van service should not matter. This will guarantee that your goods and cars arrive at the same time. At a minimum you may want to request at least one car go on the truck with your HHG so you will know you have at least one car once your HHG arrive.

sheba,

I agree that Bohren's is a very good company. I've also heard good things about Arnoff, at least the New York State location. I think Moovers would be good as well.

For your cars, an additional suggestion would be to call DeMoise for a quote. They do enclosed shipping and have excellent reviews. In addition, they are located in South Carolina not far from you. Here is a post in which I summarized their reviews (as of 12/06, so there are undoubtedly more now) and their contact information - http://www.movingscam.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=77641#77641

If you pay a van line agent to move your cars, make sure that one of the cars will actually go on the van with your things for convenience. The van line agent should put it in writing for you. In my opinion (others may disagree) you would have more control over the car move if you arrange it yourself and you would also pay less, if that matters.
