I encouraged my mother to hire Meathead Movers for her move from Atascadero, CA to Kuna, ID because I trusted their reputation. The quotes were higher than other companies, but I told her she was paying for peace of mind. Unfortunately, this was far from any peace. From the beginning, we questioned the estimator's…

If you can't bother reading through this, I wouldn't recommend their services. Many broken items (our total bill with them was somewhere around 24k including storage) Meathead movers moved our belongings in a few days ago. The staff that we interacted with were respectful and worked efficiently, but since unpacking…

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…
