Move and exploring the topic
Get an estimate from the discount movers that you have located in your area. Call and set up an appointment for them to come to your home for an in home estimate. Drop the idea of using any of the discount movers that will not give you an in home estimate. They should all be willing to do this so it is a red flag if any of them tell you they do not do in home estimates. Avoid any movers that tell you they will sub contract your move.
