Moving from Boston to NYC in a few weeks (🙄I know, bad decision, but it’s for work). Have quotes from both Stairhopper and Gentle Giant, but latter is like 2x the $. Which moving company should I use?

I just gentle and they were organized, fast and polite.

What was the other company? (Want to know who to steer clear of)

Gentle is just SO expensive; for me 2x just isn’t worth the quality unless work is covering the cost.

Have you tried Mozart or M&M? I’ve heard good things for both (haven’t used firsthand but looking into a move myself at the moment).

Agree, that’s what I’m struggling with. How can they charge 2x in what should be a relatively commoditized market? Makes me think I’m missing something about one of the two.

Haven’t heard of Mozart or M&M, will take a look. Thanks for the tip!

I've used Stairhopper for three moves (two of which were interstate) and they've been great every time. Highly recommend.

Gentle Giant is by far the best moving company I’ve used. And they are worth it if you have furniture etc you care about and want to make sure isn’t damaged. I don’t have museum quality furniture but I have had something or multiple somethings damaged w every other moving company I’ve used. Not with Gentle Giant. They cost more because they put more people on each job and they take their time (within reason) to move your belongings w care.

I’ve doing this for a good number of years. I think I depleted almost completely my interest in this business. When I’m out of the office or during the weekends I get into a “leave me alone state” and don’t want to know anything about the office. I actually just want to get in the agency, do the best I can within the time I have available, and get out. In a business where “the most committed wins” this is not an ideal mindset, but I’m done. Anyone else experiencing something similar?
