896 for movers sound good?

WE are moving a 2 bedroom apt with ALOT of stuff I got a quote from Allied for 896- they provide wardrobe boxes, and I dont need to pack any clothes. Does that sound good?

Is that including everything? we paid $144 for four men, but there was a fuel surcharge (only $25 I think).

Cause those little details is how they get you!Chat Icon

I paid $550 for a 1 bedroom about 1.5 year ago so I don't think it's bad at all. I provided all the boxes and did the packing.

If everything is included then it is a really good price.

I think that's a reasonable price..... I would just pack everything expect for the hanging clothes so they can just put them in the waredrobe boxes. The less time they spend packing the the faster they get your stuff out.

I found that having water bottles and fruit/snacks for the guys kept them going. They really appreciated it.

I just used Leonetti Brothers in Oceanside and they were fantastic! I moved from a one bedroom to a three bed house. Granted, I'm sure I have less stuff than you but they gave me a flat fee of $475 for three guys (though I think a fourth showed up at some point.)
