My husband and I were moving from our furnished apartment in North Carolina to Virginia (about 3 1/2 hours away). We had several quotes from local moving companies ranging from 1075-1400$. We were about to call and agree to have one of these companies move us when "Patrick" from Real Movers called me. He stated that he saw where I had completed a request for quotes online. He asked what the other moving companies estimates had been. He then told me that he could give me a better deal because he had an empty truck going from Georgia to Richmond for a move from Richmond back down to Georgia, and they could give me a great rate because they did not want to send an empty truck up. I went through the house as I was on the phone talking to him and told him "EVERYTHING" that needed to go. Since the apartment was furnished the main items we had were my husband's guitars (at that time I told them 15 guitars needed to be taken), a bed and dresser, clothes, shoes, and a few kitchen items. I stressed to "Patrick" that there was a "lot of clothes and shoes' to which he laughed and said no problem he'd send 17-20 boxes to cover it. I told him that would be more than enough.
I had to supply him with my credit/debit card information to confirm the move. He said that no money would be applied to the card it was simply in place of a deposit. The estimate was for 948$ half would be paid the day of pick up and the other half upon delivery. He said it had to be paid in cash or money order only. He also then told me he would be emailing me my confirmation via email. He said I didn't need to do anything with the email, it was simply showing the reservation. Since I had disconnected my internet already at that time I accepted that this was true.
