This is a difficult question because every move is unique. Not only does the amount of items determine cost, other factors include if you are moving from an apartment with a long walk, stairs or time of the month. We are confident we will be beat any large company's quote. They never give you the bottom line, so it's impossible to know exactly what you end up paying.
