How do you find a reputable and affordable moving company if you're moving across states?

Question

I am moving from Southeast Pennsylvania to Southwest Wisconsin, and I want to hire a moving company. The last long distance moving company I used was horrible. I want to get enough information to make a better choice this time.

Answer 1

Invest the time in doing as much research as possible. Many people have been taken advantage of.....charged too much money....contents arriving late........stuff missing or damaged. Don't take a quote over the phone, have a representative from the moving company come to your house to measure and take inventory, then come to an agreement. Many times this representative is just a sales person who is paid a commission on what they sell you and won't have anything to do with the move. Get at least 3 to 5 references and follow through by calling them.

Here are a few web sites on moving tips:
