Moving Company Recommendations?

[secretlyironic.livejournal.com]

Anyone have moving company recommendations? We're moving a 1BR apartment's worth of stuff.

edit 9/21/2016: we went with gentle giant and it was amazing. They showed up on time, they were enthusiastic, the amount of time was under the initial estimate. There was a gps glitch that increased their drive time, and they told me about it and took the cost off the bill. Moving sucks but this was seriously the most painless move I've ever done.

We used Stairhoppers two years ago for a whole house move from Malden to Arlington. We thought the estimate was high, but they actually came in well under it. They did an excellent job, especially since our old front door was up 1.5 floors of stairs from the street.

One thing to be aware of: some companies charge you for the # of rolls of packing tape they use to secure drawers/doors/etc on items they are moving if you haven't done that yourself. They used the very inexpensive, thin kind, and a lot @ $4/roll. I suspect you can buy it in bulk for cheaper at Home Depot/Lowes.
