We had a great experience with Prime Moving! They were professional, quick, and kept us up to date with our belongings. We moved from Hawaii to the mainland, and at first, I was hesitant to use them because of the reviews and photos. We packed all of our stuff ourselves, and my way of thinking is this: "If we're paying people to move OUR things, the least we can do is make it as easy as possible for everyone."
I labeled each box with the weight and where it should go (top, bottom, or middle) when storing our items, and because of this, our boxes were in decent condition when we got them. When they came to pick up our stuff, it only took them one hour to load everything into the truck. In that hour, besides loading our stuff, they wrapped up our bed frames in blankets with tape so they wouldn't get scratches, created 3 boxes. One for our 65-inch TV, one for my paintings, and one for my vacuum sealed bags. They put a label with a number and a bar scanner on each of our items so they can track how many items and we could track our stuff. The guy who was doing paperwork with us, on the day they picked up our stuff, even told us that when moving from Hawaii to the mainland or vice versa, they recommend using plastic containers because cardboard boxes will have some kind of damage due to being on a ship that moves constantly because they're on the ocean. To me, this makes sense. I've attached pictures so you can see that we had little to no damage to our boxes.
When we got to the mainland, we were still receiving weekly updates on our belongings, and once they arrived, we were able to schedule a drop-off within a few days. The day our items were dropped off, it took the guys about an hour to unload everything.
We didn't go over our square footage, and we didn't go over our free 30 days of storage, so there were NO EXTRA FEES!
Remember, the truck they bring to pick up your stuff is bigger than your cubic square feet in case YOU choose to go over your footage. 150 cubic square feet came out to 31 items, which included 8 large boxes and 10 medium boxes from home depot, plus our bed frames, the TV, a cooler, a small plastic filling box, and the 3 boxes they created for us.
If you're going to use cardboard boxes, I recommend using NEW boxes and SCOTCH BOX LOCK packing tape. DO NOT use Walmarts great value packing tape because that unsticks within a few days or even a few hours.
