I don't have a suggestion, but have seen two men and a truck around quite a bit. Are you moving local? You can't leave Pittsburgh, can you?

We got estimates from three companies, they were all about the same. We went with Central Van because they were the ones who could work with our schedule.
This was combining two apartments to one condo. The move was only a couple of blocks.

I'm literally moving 8 blocks which I partly feel stupid paying movers to do, but then I remember how much moving in sucked.

No recommendation, but steer clear of Deily Moving and Storage. My moving experience was terrible -- tossing our stuff, rude movers, not wrapping fragile items, taking 5 hours for a 1 bedroom (they charge by the hour), and not keeping account of our items.

We moved even less far! They packed everything, and we unpacked. Took two days, mostly because of my husband's books and CDs.

Call James moving, they have the best reputation in pgh, also the best prices. I have used them multiple times. They are clean, get the job done and don't pad the bill.

My mom just moved and I can tell you to 100% avoid a company called Dorr. They were to be there between 8am-10am by 11:15 we had friends and family come over and started moving stuff into their vehicles on our own. They called at noon to say their truck broke down and were on the way, she told them nevermind.

Had a great experience with Calfo Red Line after that until they broke a mirror in one of my moms bedroom pieces and for 2 months after the owner promised her he was coming over to replace it.
