Twice in the last ten years I have been moved by Mayflower Companies.
I had good experiences with both moves with no real complaints.
The only problem I had with the last move was that we had to have
a certified check ready when the driver got to the house to unload.
On our last move Mayflower even moved my wife's collection of porcelin (sic)
figurines with special care and no damage! After being a NAVY brat and
moving frequently when I was a kid, these people seem to be heads above
all those who moved my parents - much breakage & heartbreak.

I would reccommend that you call several movers now and get them to give
you firm quotes. Federal law requires that once movers give you a firm
estimate they cannot raise the fee. This probably saved us money as the
driver on the last move was really upset that Mayflower packed those
figurines with so much paper, causing the load to be bigger than
necessary and costing him money!

Good luck on you move.
