If you are thinking about online movers please reconsider.
First you will probably never get an accurate price for your move if they do not see it. In all my time in the moving business I have never heard of an internet based move having a happy ending. Second I have heard numerous horror stories of people having used an online moving company hold their items ransom. Or the price jumps into the stratosphere.
This is why you need to have an agent go out and take a look at your items in person. As in physically go to your house and look at what you have in it.
And no, using one estimate and asking other companies to give you a price based on that will not fly. Unless the company is either desperate or plans on taking you hand over fist, most will not do an estimate for you.
Why not? Because some people have a better idea of an items weight, will see all items or they might have different methods of calculating the weight. More importantly they will be able to ask questions about things they see or don't see(like a hidden crawl space).
Also, you are agreeing to a faceless companies terms and charges. I understand that this is the world of the web and faceless purchases.. But every time I make an online purchase on a new site I worry because you just never know for certain until you get your item/service if they were telling the truth.
And that's for sheep things like tea. I couldn't imagine doing that with a whole house worth of goods.
If you truly feel confidant in using an internet mover please check on them with the Better Business Bureau. They are your friend and are there to serve you.
