Moving from condo to a house

I went with Advantage Moving when moving from our 1-bedroom condo to a house. I paid for a crew of two guys, for $85/hour. They don't start charging until they arrive at your house which is better than most moving companies, from what I've heard.

The guys were friendly and said we were well prepared. They properly dealt with floor runners and everything.

I felt that these guys were a little slow, and I'm not sure why. THey said a 1-bedroom place normally takes 3 to 3.5 hours, but ours took 5.5 hours. I needed the to pick up some stuff at one house, then go our condo and take everything there, so that first trip took up 1 hour. Still, they were 1 hour slower than expected.

The unloading went much faster than the loading, and they were willing to accomodate my request for certain things to be dropped off in the garage.

One of the movers put a knee through the back of my IKEA bookcase (you know that cheap wood stuff). They took $25 off my total for this mistake.

Overall, I thought Advantage was pretty decent. I was surprised by how long it took (and therefore how much it cost) and disappointed by the hole in the bookcase, but stuff happens when you move.

Approximate cost of services:
$467.50
