Is the move local? If so, cheapest way is to rent your own truck and hire a couple of college kids pay them like $50-100 each to help you move, maybe more or less depending how much stuff you have.

Until one gets hurt and sues

I’ve had good luck with Easy Movers in the past but I’m not sure what the cost would be. They will give you a quote up front though!

Sketchy reply: When I was struggling and I didn't have enough money, I found some movers on Craigslist. They came with a truck and three dudes. I had all of my boxes packed and taped up, they came grabbed the boxes, sofa, bed, and mattress and loaded everything in 45 minutes. Drove to my new place (20 mins) and carried everything upstairs and had my bed up in like 50 minutes. Under 2 hours and maybe 200 bucks. I tipped $65.. Craigslist is probably the cheapest, but there won't be any insurance, and I can't vouch for the crew that will show up.

Are you still looking? I have a good mover I use for my moves.

Yes, still looking for one. I have to move in the next month

My wife and I just moved 2 weekends ago from our 2 bedroom apartment into a 4 bedroom house with stairs and had a great experience with Hornet. Didn’t get any dinged up walls at the new place and those guys showed serious hustle. Can’t recommend them enough.

I had a really good experience with Hornet movers when I moved just last year. Really reasonably priced too.

I’ve used hornets - positive experience.

What's your budget? and how much do you need to move? I used UHaul before and it was about $500 for the truck and two movers for 3 hours

$500 is a good budget! I need to move a one bedroom apt (got some heavy furniture like sofa, bed, and TV but the rest is fine (clothes, kitchen supplies etc)

I’ve used Bellhops in the past and have had a good experience!

Use the Dolly app, basically Uber for movers
