2001 Start searching for a mover by asking friends, relatives and business associates about movers they have used and liked. Compare prices by getting at least two on-site estimates, which should be provided free of charge. Don't forget furniture stored in the attic or basement or any large piece you might have sent out for repair, refinishing or new upholstery. Don't be swayed by a super-low price from an unknown firm. Remember, you're entrusting your mover with all or most of your earthly possessions.
References are important.
If a mover wasn't recommended by someone you know, ask for the names and phone numbers of satisfied customers - and call them. This information is from Mayflower Transit.
