UPDATE 10/22/2026: NEARLY $7,000 FOR AN UNFINISHED MOVE. OVER 100 PAGES OF DOCUMENTATION. STILL NO RESOLUTION. If you’re considering hiring Meathead Movers, I strongly encourage you to read this before signing anything. I hired this company because I had used them previously and trusted them. That trust turned out…

Very expensive when compared with the averages of what online tells me about moving costs. $5700 for a local move is pretty excessive (and I had discounts included, so it would have been more)…Unfortunately I had surgery, so I had no option. Pros and cons. You certainly get what you pay for, but you can find cheaper…
