Yes, most of the boxes were used; however, a couple for large pictures were new and all of the paper appears to be new (it’’s not all wrinkly).

I am by no means an expert on International moving, but I will give my 2 cents anyway.

It seems to me like if you don’t do anything about it, you will probably worry about it anyway. For the low cost of it, you may want to get some of those vacuum pack bags to put your clothes in. It is a relatively inexpensive way to give you great piece of mind.

The international experts will be on to give you their far more valuable opinions.

Please follow up- they gave you used cartons and paper, correct? Just don’t want people on here to think movers give away new cartons and paper, as those supplies are quite expensive.

Did he stack two of the cars? I only did that once, and it was quite nerve-racking. Not so much once they were loaded, but loading and unloading them like that is quite scary. Everything was fine though, but I was still glad I never had to do it again.

Thank you for the tip. I actually received one more quote, from Suddath, that was consistent with the other two lower quotes and because of the comments on the superlist I hired them to do the move. So far I’ve been pleased. The gave me many boxes and lots of tape and paper to help with my end of the packing - free of charge. The four people that I’ve met so far with the company have been extremely courteous and helpful.

My bad moving experience happened 4.5 years ago when I moved to Florida from Illinois. I’m embarrassed to admit that I do not remember the name of the company because I have moved so many times before. They were several days late with our load and to top it off, once they arrived and opened their truck, the contents within the truck collapsed, making it almost impossible for them to remove items from the truck. Needless to say, almost all of our furniture was damaged in some way. I’m trying to be extra cautious this time around so hopefully the research will pay off.

There are no reviews on this site about them, which is usually a good thing. Industry expert “Rick” wrote his knowledge about them here.

Does anyone have any experience with Sunset Moving and Storage (Atlas provider - office in Deerfield Beach)? They have good reviews on Angie’s list, and their price was significantly lower than my three other quotes: (Bohrens (United), Suddath, and another local Atlas provider. I’d appreciate any input.

It’s actually not that easy because the cwt changes with weight (higher weights command a lower cwt), therefore the cwt for the one with the higher weight will likely show a lower cwt. Getting revised estimates on identical weight is the only way to compare apples to apples.

If your gut isn’t speaking to you, assign each mover a number on a die. Roll it until the first assigned number shows up.

It’s a good dilemna to have when you can’t decide between three equally reputable companies.

His name is Fernando Castillo. He was great! BTW, one of the cars he loaded was a 911 turbo.

I’m planning a relatively small move (260 cubic feet) from Montreal (Canada) to Trondheim (Norway) and I will be packing some stuff myself.

Does anything need to be done to protect fabrics (clothing, blankets, etc) from moisture? I don’t want everything to smell moldy when we get there. I just imagine a container out on the sea as a pretty humid place. Am I worrying for nothing?
