My moving Experience

I just wanted to add to this forum since I was researching it a lot when I moved two months ago from NYC to a small town in IL.
We were moving right in the midst of the high moving season and eventhough we were moving from a 2Bdrm in Manhattan to a town house in IL some reputable companies (Bekins, Dahil, Central Moving & Storage) gave us the cold shoulder after their evaluator were gone. Flatrate was actually only the second choice because of the limited interstate experience here on the forum.
However, aside from small mishaps (my credit card was charged twice but the amount was refunded after 3 days - infact the foreman himself made me aware of the error). Our entire furniture paintings etc arrived without a single scratch. We had full service incl. packaging.
I have to give big thanks to the crew that packed & picked up the stuff. Rafael and the rest of the young polish guys did a tremendous job in over 90 degrees NYC sweltering heat. The haul was then delivered by a independent driver (no flatrate-truck) named Bobby who was also great.
Overall I think we were really lucky.

    I am getting ready to move from New York City
    to Washington, DC. It will be a very small amount of
    things to move but items like sofa, furniture, I can not
    move myself.

    I have hired FlatRate Movers (www.flatrate.com).
    I’m curious to know if anyone has heard of or used this
    company.

    About three months ago I moved from Chicago and had the
    chance to work with them. They are a good company, and they
    do their best to please their customers. From my personal experience I fully recommend Flatrate to anyone who is moving
