I can help you all with 3 moving companies to stay away from. I have relocated from NYC to Washington DC to Denver and back to NYC over the last 20 years. Here are the thieves and charlatans:
Starving Sergeants, based in Colorado Springs: the worst thieves I've ever done business with. We kept our stuff in storage with them for two months, and were told to put a lock on the back of the container, which we would remove with our own key on the day we moved into at our new home. When the truck arrived at our new home, the lock had been removed. Besides the thefts, significant damage was done to our furniture and other goods. Their response: it wasn't on purpose, we'll give you 60 cents a pound for your dressers, take it or leave it.
Atlas: treat women like the morons they (the movers) are, beware. Significant breakage and rudeness. And, of course, showing up almost a day late. We had to threaten government agency contact, because after charging us for an insurance policy, they told us none of the breakage they caused was covered. When my wife called them and told them they hadn't shown up all day on the move date, they called her a liar, quote-unquote. The manager was a bigger moron than the moving men. I have told a lot of people about them. Word of mouth is a powerful tool; if you like getting ripped off this is the moving company for you.
Arpin: Over $2000 worth of damage. Got so desperate, called the CEO. No answer. Beyond the above damage, they broke my big-screen TV, then claimed it wasn't their fault. The TV died a day after they delivered it. That cost me an additional $600.00. What they lost in opportunities for employees I've relocated cost them hundreds of times what they ripped me off for.
