This was my first cross country move. I moved from the Illinois to Arizona. I did a ton of research and found that ABF offered the best prices. After multiple conversations I decided to use the relo cube. I needed storage for about a month while finding a job and apt. I was making the move alone and I'm a 60 yr old female so I knew I would have my work cut out for me. The plan was to have my peeps on my end help me load and hire movers on my AZ destination help me unload. Upon my initial reservation they were out of relo cubes, but offered me a 26 ft trailer (10 ft of that) at the same price quoted. The bonus being if I estimated a little off I had the option to use more at $126 per ft. I thought that might be a good back up plan. Really the biggest hick up was some miss communication. I was told the trailer had ventilation. After doing much research, I was able to calculate approximate internal temperatures of the trailer for Phoenix. At the time it was in the 90's there and the trailer was to be stored in an open parking. My biggest concern was I have a 50 inch Plazma and knew it could only withstand 114 degree storage. I had a custom insulated box for it and knew exactly how to pack it safely. The driver came right on time and was very accommodating. Side note....if you use a large trailer, make sure you have ample parking and clearance on BOTH sides of your move! That can be a huge obstacle. Anyway upon inspection, the trailer Did Not have ventilation. Huge game changer. Since I didn't have a cool grand laying around to replace a fried flat screen I had to have a plan B. After multiple conversations with a ABF it was concluded that none of the trailers had ventilation. To there credit, they offered to store it in Illinois. Oct 1st was my move date so temperatures would work. Unfortunately that made me sit in an empty apt. with and air mattress and 2 cats for 2 wks instead of a few days for transit. On the receiving end, they were very accommodating. They delivered on time. All the phone help were very nice and apologetic. The drivers were equally very nice. The very best part...my quote. My final payment was to the penny of what they quoted. I was prepared for some hidden costs after reading horror stories from other moving companies. Literally to the penny! That was a tremendous help and very pleasant surprise. I've learned a lot from this experience. Truthfully, knowing then what I know now (because I'm alone) unless you are moving somewhere with friends, family etc. I would do it all different. It was brutal. When adding All costs....moving companies, movers, storage and packing materials it literally would of been more cost effective to sell everything and buy new stuff. when I got there. Physical loading and unloading, dismantling and reassembling furniture, fixing and repainting damaged furniture, trying to fit and arrange a space you don't know till you get there, and what ever else I forgot to mention...I could of had everything delivered and set up. Seriously, if your moving alone, I would highly recommend this. If I ever move cross country again, I'll hitch my personal belongings on the back of my jeep in a small trailer and do new. I'm single, very budget minded, have contents for a one bedroom apt. When it was all said and done, I spent about $6,400. I would of added whatever I sold all my furniture to that and had plenty of $ to replace everything. (Just some personal info to any single woman with a similar situation). However, if you must have your stuff...out of my total costs only $2,620 was ABF. They really did everything they said they would minus the communication issue in the beginning, which they rectified to the best of they're ability. In close, (if moving locally, for me personally) I would definitely use them again, as well as refer them. Just remember expect the unexpected. Fortunately, ABF came through on costs and service better then expected.
