Hi guys,

I'm going to move to Los Angeles early next year and I'm looking for a good moving company to hire. Any good sites you can recommend so I can compare LA moving companies? All I've found so far is http://www.losangelesmovers.biz (broken link) and It's not exactly brimming with information yet. lol

I can't tell you who you should use, but I can tell you from my experience who to steer clear of! We used Merit Moving Systems (United Van Lines) for a move from Palm Desert, CA to San Antonio,TX. My furniture was in perfect, model home or showroom condition when it left California. When it arrived here in Texas my dining room hutch had a deep gouge in it. My arm chairs were all nicked up and parts of the fancy carved areas on the arms were gone. My living room table had the finial at the bottom broken off of it and I am missing one of my end tables. I am sure there are other things that are missing or have been destroyed or damaged in some way, but I haven't gotten to everything yet.

I filed a claim for the things I did know about - namely my dining room set. It originally cost a little over $25,000 for the set and now it is ruined! They denied my claim, saying that it was already like that when they moved it here. I have photos to prove that it was not damaged before they got a hold of it! Anyway, it's just too big of a hassle to deal with right now, so I am letting this go for now. But, I will tell anybody and everybody who will listen not to use this company.
