Remember:

just because a company charges more, it doesn't necessarily mean the experience will be better. Many times, national brands hire agents, which is another form of subcontracting. Reviews show that even expensive national moving companies may fall short. Be sure to compare rates, reputation, and overall budget so that you can make an informed decision.
