Moving Tip

If you live in New England, California, NY, NJ, CT, Maryland, DC, Virginia, Ohio, or PA, and are planning a move or know someone who is, then I've got a great tip for you!

www.citimove.com

This site allows you to create an inventory of all of your junk that you want moved. Then it puts your job out to bid to moving companies, both national and local. The companies bid (and re-bid) against each other to get your job.

It's a great service...I used it when I moved from Waltham to Chelmsford and now Dave and I are using it to move to Tyngsborough. We put our job out to bid last night and so far have two bids....one for $2250.00 and one for $550.00! As bids come in we'll compare customer reviews of the different movers and decide who to use. Last time I did this I ended up going with a company with excellent reviews that was NOT the lowest bidder.

I was VERY happy with the movers that I used. Great service and very pleasant guys....and since it was a local company I got a great price. I think it was $325 for moving my one bedroom apartment's worth of furniture. And at that price I was able to generously tip the guys who did all of that heavy lifting!
