Back in the office for a week before being gone for 2.

Breakfast is being cooked.

We had another moving company do an estimate for us.
First Company: $1000 <--we happen to know for a fact do a very good job.
Second Company: $600 (high estimate) <--we know nothing about the second company.Now, the first company resides in Long Beach Island, which is big money so that could account for the disparity but am I right to be a little taken back at the price difference?
-
Well if you know and like the work of the first company, was there anything about the second company that makes you think their work is less up to snuff?
-
@DustinB3403 No, but every moving company seems shady from my experience. Lack of information makes me nervous
-
Are you moving across state lines, or just a few towns over? Are both insured? $400 difference is a pretty big amount of money.
-
They are both insured with license #'s and everything

More importantly, 40% seems like a big jump.
-
So if they are both insured, and have a promise of work, why not save the $400 and go with the lower cost shipper?
-
Yeah I guess. I looked up the lower estimate in the better business bureau and they have only been a company for a few years. The higher has been around for decades.

Was thinking about upgrading my XenServer to latest 7.1 build

Did also look to see if I can grab two machines to play with XOSAN

Don't trust the BBB it's a known scam that companies pay into to get complaints off of their record. It's an extortion racket for businesses.

Might want to review this.

$600 and $1000 - what are these guys evening doing for you? Those numbers seem potentially low - but then again, I've actually never hired a moving company, and I'm sure they mostly employ people who make just over min wage... so.. Assuming 50% overhead to the company, $500 in wages, at let's assume $12/hr that's approx 40 man hours of moving time. I suppose that could be right.

Moving furniture and boxes. Unfortunately my friends moved all across the country so this is the first time I don't have another guy to help me.

Have to agree. BBB reviews are worthless or worse... misleading.

I don't trust any reviews. I was just comparing the information they have about when it opened to what the owner said when he came to our place. Just being as safe as I can be.
