Recommendations for a cross-country moving company? I'm moving to San Francisco from Chicago soon and I know local/regional movers, but not ones who move from Chicago to SF. One quote I have now is $4600 for a 1bdr apartment. Does that price sound decent?

Yeah that's about right. When I moved here in 2017 from the PNW, my company paid for my movers (including packing). I don't remember what the final cost came to, but it was at least a couple thousand more than that, for a 1 bedroom apartment.

Try NorthStar. Not sure if they offer Chicago to SF. But they did a good job for LA to SF. Used them recently

OP which company is this?

What about the pods company? They will drop of the storage container and pick it up / transport. Unfortunately I don’t have a quote to share

Yea sounds about right when I had looked last year. I’ve known a few people that have moved this year and ended moving their items on their own because of how much cheaper it was.

Same, moving from Chicago to SF. Quote for 2bedroom is ~8-9k

I used Blackhawk moving and storage when I moved from chi to SF in 2016 (one bedroom) and used them again when I moved from SF back to chicago in 2020. Around 4.5k but they have an option where they put your stuff in it’s own container so it’s not mixed with other peoples stuff . I was also able to pick an actual pick up and drop off day instead of a “window” which was very convenient.

I am moving from chicago to sf and using united van lines

UK market is open only for niche skillsets ( Data engineer + analytics). Firms aren't interested in sponsoring rest all skill sets, as they can be filled internally.

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!
