Though I have not used them, I have heard nothing but good about "Ray The Mover" in Manchester. http://www.raythemover.com/DesktopDe...aspx?tabid=251

Good Luck!

My advice is simple instead of looking a the small time movers, contact the large Nationwide companies. They will hook you up with a local agent who will discuss all the options with you. You may find that you don't need an entire truck and qualify for a partial load, which saves money. In the past my family has used Allied, United, and New World Van Lines. If you are not used to moving you will find these larger companies can help you answer all the questions you will have.

As for insurance, contact your insurance company and find out what is covered under your current homeowners policy. Additionally find out about additional Moving insurance from them. You can also talk with these larger moving companies about insurance options they may offer.

The bottom line is the larger companies will generally hook you up with a local agent.. To get up packed and shipped, and co-ordinate with a second local agent to help unload and unpack at your destination.

As for the Antiques and item that have sentimental value to you, watch the movers, and talk to them if you don't think something has been packed into the truck safely. Once again with the larger companies, the movers, are usually very customer friendly, where as the smaller local moving companies, are more likely to be offended by your questions...

Now just to put validity behind my experiences... I have moved personally 6 times, and been involved with at least 12 over moves helping family and friends, I have done the U-haul self move, I have used small companies, for local moves, and used larger Nation Wide Moving companies for long distance moves. If you are moving out of state, the Nationwide companies are really the only way to go... otherwise you face unloaded transportation costs, which at the end of day adds, up to the extra cost encountered when using on of the Nation wide companies.
