I'm going to be carpet bagging to the Raleigh-Durham area at the end of this month for a new job. With the signing bonus and no one down there to aid my move, I'm going to hire professional movers to load, deliver and unload most of my stuff. I'm going to take some clothes and some items of real value with me and drive down on my own.
The quotes I've been getting vary fairly wildly, from $800 to $2000, most settling in at $1400 for about 3000 lbs. of stuff.
Has anyone used pro movers or have either services to avoid or ones they would recommend?
I plan to pack everything myself except to let the movers wrap the big furniture. Also, I assume I'll be tipping the guys who are moving the stuff. Are there any hidden costs that you were hit by when you moved? Anything I should be looking out for or ask about ahead of time?
