I used ORI Van Lines, about two weeks ago for a move and can't be more satisfied.
We got estimates from 8 companies and ORI came in lower by about $300. Besides the economic aspect, the foreman, Joe, seemed to really know what he was doing. He just had to look around and could tell about how many boxes it would be and how long it would take. The other company was very meticulous during the estimate, but in a way that made me think they needed to be because they weren't quite sure about things.
On the day of my move, the ORI guys (3 of them) showed up exactly on time and cleared out boxes upon boxes upon boxes from my living room within about 30 minutes.
We were instructed ahead of time to leave the drawers in the dressers because they would wrap them and carry them.in addition to that convenience, they supplied us with garment boxes with hanger bars to simply transfer our closet items to the box while they moved the other rooms. They brought those boxes up first so I just had to simply transfer the hanging clothes to my new closet and they removed the boxes So easy.
The guys were also super nice, very friendly, and professional. My only complaint is that they are all smokers, so they themselves kind of stank like smoke and I was slightly worried about the stink getting stuck on my stuff...
All in all, I was VERY happy with the movers. With one nightmare exception of having my stuff held hostage by a company after a cross-country move, I have never hired movers before and will never NOT hire movers again. I think you get to a point where you're just too old and have too nice of stuff to pay a couple friends with beer and pizza.
I would highly recommend ORI Van Lines.
