When finding out about a cross country relocation for work, I didn't take into account how many unreliable moving reviews and scams were out there. It made things so much stressful. Luckily, I found Hughes Relocation for my move from Philadelphia, PA to Missoula, MT.
Brian visited my apartment on a snowy Friday morning, assessed what I was taking and had a quote out to me by Monday. My old apartment was in Center City Philadelphia and the move date was the morning after the Eagles won the Super Bowl, but the movers arrived 10 minutes before the window and quickly wrapped and packed my dishes and wardrobe. It was a small studio apartment but it completed in about 2 hours. Every item and/or box had an inventory # on it for easy unpacking.
Hughes checked in multiple times throughout the process and even put up with me finding an apartment and changing address from a storage unit. My apartment ended up being about 7 minutes from my new office so I requested on delivery day they the United agent responsible for that give me a call about 15 minutes prior so I could just leave and not have to wait around all day. They did so and delivered ALL items, ALL without damage. Oddly, the only thing that ended up breaking was something I didn't want broken so I took it myself. Should have let Hughes and United pack it with everything else.
There were a lot of circumstances around my move that could have made it a nightmare (Center City apartment, Super Bowl, February weather, taking it a remote state like Montana in the dead of winner, and me being out of town for two weeks just prior to the move). However, everything was taken care of and now all I have to do is adjust to the new city and new job.
