Please recommend your movers! I'm about to lose it with all of the stress of buying/selling

Local move but need to move a 3 bedroom home to storage for a few weeks until we can move into another home. Husband is useless (ok I'm exaggerating) and I'm tired of doing all of the legwork when it comes to this move. Would love some real and affordable recommendations.

We've looked into ZippyShell/Pods etc etc to store elsewhere but I've heard mixed things about dirty storage facilities and delays with the items being delivered. Don't really want to deal with that.

Thanks in advance!

If only they'd provide customer service in the US like they do in Japan:

Fairfax Transfer has been good to us.

Haven’t actually moved yet, but we hired First Class Moving and Storage. They’ve been hyper responsive and professional, and their quote i
Was very competitive.

Bookstore. Worth it.

Worth it because they are more expensive than competitors or?

We love Bookstore Movers & have used them 3 times.

I'm really a fan of Gentle Giant. After having a bunch of bad experiences (transit took a week longer than projected, asked to pay an amount significantly higher than quote), I thought GG was great and came in under quote.

PP here - they are super reasonably priced. Our last move (local DC) we were quoted $5000 from JK movers and $2000 from Bookstore. Insane.

When I looked for movers, Bookstore repeatedly came up as highly recommended. We needed packing services though, and they weren’t offering that at that time. We went with these guys and I was really happy with them. https://www.myguysmoving.com/

Just to round out the recommendations, I also heard good things about Great Scott movers.

Bookstore is THE BEST. I have used them three times. Last year, I decided to go with Beltway Movers because they have me slightly lower priced estimate. Beltway Movers were AWFUL. They dented a bunch of stuff, broke parts off my Peloton they said they could move safely, and intentionally broke a large branch off an ornamental tree in the front yard of my new house. Oh and they were completely unapologetic and management unresponsive about our complaints. Needless to say, I will be using Bookstore next time I move.

They are not great. They chronically underestimate travel time and the movers told me the central office always does, especially in urban markets.

Bookstore is great. I've used them along with many of my friends and we've always had great experiences.
