America's Choice Moving & Storage was GREAT. If you're thinking of using movers, I definitely recommend them. My husband and I moved from LA to New Mexico, and they handled everything (including my PIANO) with care and professionalism.For most of setting up the move, I dealt with Amy, and she was super helpful and nice--it was awesome! She worked with us and waived fees here and there where she could (for example, the piano), and made clear that if we had any questions at all, just to let her know. We were packing all of our own boxes except for a big heavy antique mirror, the piano, and a few lamps. Amy waived fees for packing the lamps & mirror and made sure I knew that the mandatory insurance only would cover the boxes they packed. She really held our hand every step of the way. I ask LOTS of questions because I don't like surprise information, and Amy explained everything. When moving day came, the team who arrived were SO INCREDIBLY fast! They were running behind because the job they'd had that morning was more than twice as big as they'd been told, but Eddie was super communicative with me the whole day to keep me posted on their ETA. Once they arrived, they packed up our entire house (a 2 bedroom) in an afternoon. While they were working hard to get our stuff packed up, we were drinking champagne at our neighbors' house. THAT's why to hire movers ;-)Once our stuff arrived in New Mexico a little over a week later, the men who did the unpacking were super courteous and professional as well. And, ta da!, nothing was damaged. The one tiny thing I'd say America's Choice could do better is the tracking of inventory. Every box or piece of furniture that was ours had a little numbered sticker (from basically a roll) on it, and the inventory list was hand-written by the foreman the day of the move. I've had other companies use special bar-coded stickers for everything which they scan, and it seems a little bit more thorough. BUT, if you're a thorough person (like we are--we number our boxes & have a list of them handy when the movers drop off), you don't really have anything to worry about.Definitely recommend!
