Moving to TX! Moving company needed.

[Slapps74]

So we're heading south at the end of the month. I have been in CO almost 30 years now and will miss a lot of what Colorado offers. Does anyone have experience with a good moving company? I got my first quote Saturday and it was almost 15 grand from Beekins. Have another quote coming of Friday and just got a flyer in the mail from Christan Brothers Moving so I will call them in the morning. Ms. Slapps just had rotator cuff surgery on the 5th so moving ourselves is just out of the question.

I don't have any recommendations other than $15k-ish is probably not too far out of line. We moved ourselves and it was $11k or $12k, not to mention a monumental PITA. Knowing what I know now I would've paid $15k in a heartbeat. Good luck.

Check Out Broadway Express. You pay by the number of feet used in the semi. Load and unload yourself. Because it is basically freight service you run under a different tariff schedule and the cost is far lower than traditional moving companies.

Keeping an eye on this thread. Gives me an idea of the reality for $$ involved to move.

Wait, didn't we just have a thread about moving to TX?

Though really, 15k to move a full house worth of stuff interstate isn't that bad.

If I remember correctly my current company used Christan Brothers when we moved from PA to CO...Family of 4 and 1 car transported was right at 10K, 4 years ago to the date almost. I also used Allied with I moved from TX to PA...I think that was right at 12K, but had 2 cars transported at that time. Both companies were great, no trouble at all. Nothing broken and nothing missing.

Good luck in Texas. Remember you must return 5-10 Denver hipsters back to their natural environment of Austin when you go.

They're here from Berkeley. Send them to CA.

So, remember, moving is about weight, so big heavy stuff like books, ammo, safes, etc. yeah, move that stuff yourself and cut the cost way down.

to be honest

next time I move I'm just selling everything and buying new crap
simpler, easier and the end cost is the same.

No matter what company you use, make sure all your guns and other real valuable stuff are in your car (even if you have to rent a UHaul in addition to hiring the movers) because the chances of something coming up stolen are pretty high.

I've known many people that used respectable moving companies only to discover jewelry or a gun or two missing a few weeks after the move and by then the moving company will treat you like you lost it and you're lying.
