The first thing I needed to do was contact moving companies so I can get a moving quote.    This process doesn’t seem like a big deal, and it isn’t…but it is time consuming and frustrating at times because movers is such a huge category that it encompasses a lot things, most of which were not what I was looking for.

One of the results that came up consistently was budget van lines.  This was the company I selected because they did everything. I had a lot of delicate belongings and antiques that needed to be moved and budget van lines were the only ones that actually understood the importance of my belongings and did everything in their ability to protect and ensure the safe delivery of my belongings.

To my pleasant surprise, when my belongings arrived in LA (when they were promissed) there was no damage to anything and nothing was lost.  It was amazing to see that all of my items came clear across the country in the exact condition they left when they were in the east coast.
