There’s definitely truth to the saying “you get what you pay for.” While finding a reasonable price is certainly important, less isn’t always better. If you run across a mover that offers prices substantially lower than others, make sure to ask questions and do your research. A good moving service will have the ability to move your belongings safely, within a realistic timeframe for a reasonable price.
