Have sent you a Private MessageNo suggestions, but some pointers my experience in 2012 when I moved from VA to ON.
- Moving is a rather unorganized sector, people who take contract may not be the people who actually move your stuff...
- Make a very good inventory and valuate your belongings carefully
- When you the receive goods, check the conditions carefully
- Prices then were based on volume
- When it comes to packing, it is difficult to claim damage if your packed the boxes yourself
- Some movers offer to pack, but that comes with a heavy price
- If there is a dispute, follow it up aggressively...
Did you mean ABF? I wasnt able to find a mover with name AVF.. could you please share the link?I used twice PODS, with AVF I think.. Depending where you are of course but it won't brake the bank. 3 pods cost me $1500
here's my experience: I asked for a quote from about 10 movers for a 300 mile across the border trip from the US to Canada. Some refused stating that the distance was too less and others quoted upwards of $6000. Finally I chose Flatrate since their quote was less than $2000. All items arrived safely and nothing was damaged. My only grouse was that the stuff took 3 weeks to arrive instead of the 2 weeks that they had promised. The experience as customs was also fairly smooth, they cleared it in about 10 minutes.Did you mean ABF? I wasnt able to find a mover with name AVF.. could you please share the link?
Thats good information!! In my case, I just decided to drive across as the distance for me was roughly 1300 miles! I drove a 10 foot UHaul truck and the cost of moving for me was less than 3500 bucks (including the truck rental, gas etc).here's my experience: I asked for a quote from about 10 movers for a 300 mile across the border trip from the US to Canada.

I am planning to move from VA in July 2018. As of now the estimate is that I spend nearly $850 for a 15' Truck for a 2 bedroom townhouse $250 for packers to load the stuff. $100 in gas & Misc, $250 unloading in Canada ~~ $1300 total.Thats good information!!

I think you are covered. Just one thing - 850 for a 15' Truck.. can you tell me which company you are renting the truck from? Mine was from UHaul and it was around 1200 USD for one way, a 10' Truck. Although needless to say, you might want to take a short ride in the 15' Truck if you have never driven it before. I got a 15' Truck first, took a short ride and then decided to take a 10' Truck instead!I am planning to move from VA in July 2018.

Anything I am missing?
Hey bro. I checked the rates at UHaul only. for VA to ON for July 2018 it's showing $814 for a 15' truck. I have experience with 15' trucks. I moved from DC to Williamsburg, VA. For that move, Initially I thought of getting a 10' truck but the price difference between a 10 and 15 was negligible and I wanted the buffer of more space.I think you are covered.

But I was moving from a 1 Bedroom apartment..
Also, gas would be depending on the distance you are going..
Lastly, do you have a place where you will be going to initially? Since you are moving the stuff on your own via the truck, you might want to consider the cost for storing your luggage / stuff until you find a place. In my case, UHaul provided free storage for 1 month, that was a part of the deal. Else, places like Dymon Storage could be a little costly. All depends on where you are going.
Oh thats nice, you are getting a good price. Frankly, using a trailer was one of my worries too as I had never done it before. However, for exits and parking point of view, it must be pretty common to use two slots for parking and be slow when you go through exits and sharp turns. Unfortunately since I do not have any experience with the trailers, I would rather not give you any uninformed advise...Hey bro.

What's worrying me is that while 15' truck is ok. I haven't done 15'truck with a trailer attached for my car. Driving on interstate should be still ok. Problems are exits / parking / backing with a trailer attached. So I am still figuring that part out
What is the customs process like, do the movers need a copy of the goods to follow and they clear it with customs or do you have to go yourself?here's my experience: I asked for a quote from about 10 movers for a 300 mile across the border trip from the US to Canada. Some refused stating that the distance was too less and others quoted upwards of $6000. Finally I chose Flatrate since their quote was less than $2000.

Did they handle customs too?I used twice PODS, with AVF I think.. Depending where you are of course but it won't brake the bank. 3 pods cost me $1500
Hi, Can anyone recommend a good, reliable local moving company? We need a company to help us move our household stuff (furniture and appliances as well) within Bali. Thank you.No suggestions, but some pointers my experience in 2012 when I moved from VA to ON.

- Make a very good inventory and valuate your belongings carefully
- When you the receive goods, check the conditions carefully
- Prices then were based on volume of professional movers in abu dhabi

- If there is a dispute, follow it up aggressively...
