When I was moving last I had broken my IKEA futon in 6 pieces,(I was moving across the street) and walked each piece across the street piece by piece. This time I was moving a bit further, so my prior method of moving wasn't going to work very well. I don't have a license, and couldn't rent my own truck, so I decided to hire a mover to complete my small task of moving my bed from Aurora to the city. I filled out about a handful of requests for quotes online, and I was continuously quoted between $300-$450. I work for a consumer show, so I know all about the ridiculous prices people charge for labor, but still, did these companies read my description of "I only need you to move my IKEA futon?" I'm not paying you over $200 for like 1 hour of actual work. Accurate Movers was the first place to offer me a quote of under $150, stating they have a deal for small tasks like mine. Thanks for actually reading my request in detail! I received consistent e-mail communication from them, even when I only hired them two days before my requested move date. On the day of the move, they called to say they could arrive an hour earlier than scheduled, or they could wait around for me if I was busy. At the time they called I was on my way to the Postal Office, but I told them I would head right back to my place, as I didn't want to keep them on duty longer than they had to be. As soon as I stepped in my house, I showed them where the futon frame and mattress were, and I went on my way to the city to meet them at my new place. When I arrived they were already there. My futon was at my new place before well before the original time they were scheduled to pick up my furniture. At the end of the day, I can clearly say, Fast, Low Priced, and exactly what they promise.
