Hey you all since I just recently did my move and it went great. I highly recommend the moving company called Wheaton World Wide Moving Wheaton World Wide Moving - Storage and Moving Service | Household Moving Company or call 1-800-248-7960 ( Wheaton is on BBB info too).For numerous reason for once they were able to do it on the date I requested and deliver on my date ( it can't be two weeks( pay for storage) they were gonna deliver on Friday but requested to be moved on Sat but end up on Sun) so I don't have to stress out getting to Missouri in a hurry. Wheaton also does free home estimate which I liked and no deposit was required. Even though this company was way cheaper than all the other estimates I got by phone.Believe me I got about 5 estimates and I had only two in home estimates. On monday morning they were a little late getting to my place. I had to call to find out what is going on and was notify that the truck was running late and will be there in about a hour. I had two movers from premium movers (moving company in town) and the truck driver and his son. The truck driver Mike Wiggins was very polite and courteous. He marked everything with tape and wrote down most of the boxes on the paper. The other three guys did most of the moving. Everything was moved with care. I had plenty of water and gatorade. They were done in about three hours. When my stuff was delivered it was the driver Mike Wiggins and his nephew that unload my stuff into the storage. They were very careful with my stuff and took there time. The movers even wrapped up my furniture with my sleeping bags and blankets so they will be protected in the storage facility. I had lots of gatorade and water. It took them about 4 to 5 hours since they was by themselves being on a Sunday. They couldn't get any other workers but it worked out fine because I didn't have the kids. I gave them each 25 dollar tip. Mike and his nephew seemed appreciated for the tip. It was hot but they took there time and did everything careful.

Couples of tips to point out:
I did all my own packing
make sure you get a in home estimate by weight not cubic feet
I asked for bidding contract (if you get a non bidding your price can go up after the official move.)You got to make sure everything is on the list or they won't take it because it can go over the weight limit.You can always add to the list five days before the move but you have to fax the signed contract.
If your flexiable with the move date you can request for Mike Wiggins to be your mover. He was excellent. I hope I help you all with a highly recommended Moving Company.

Bentaxlecrew they don't have to be in Cali....because they are nationwide. The business is IN. Wheaton picks up everywhere. My driver has done pick up and delivery to California. I know because I asked the question since I was from Cali.When Wheaton does an in home estimate they send a moving company that is close by to do a check of list of what you got. Then wheaton will give you estimate by email. Good Luck!!

Alas, PODS will not deliver to Gravois Mills, MO. We'll end up renting a truck and paying someone to drive it out for us (maybe one of the boys will do it) and then flying them back to Tucson. Moving is such work, but worth it!!

If you LOVE it so much next time you can come over my house to pack and unpack for me. Then it will feel like Christmas to you.
