Quick Moving Solutions

I contacted Alex from QMS Movers through Craiglist about a week before my move. He was very nice and responsive with emails, replying quickly with every question I asked. The rate he gave me seemed reasonable and he even filled out the insurance forms my building required. On the day of the move (Friday, July 31 — very busy moving day) his team arrived only a few minutes behind. 4 guys and a 21 foot truck (even though in the email he said he’d send a 24 ’ truck) The guys (or should I say — the kids) were very nice, one didn’t speak english but they were all very motivated and other than a couple of slacking off breaks they managed to pack my entire one bedroom apartment into that truck in about 5 hours. They would have finished much earlier if they had a larger truck (as was promised) and I also wouldn’t have had to rent ANOTHER truck the next day to pick up more stuff that wouldn’t fit in the truck.
All in all the bill was for 6 hours at $ 110, + 1 hour travel time $ 110 + insurance $ 60 plus taxes or something. with tip it was $ 1100 (then another $ 200 moving the other stuff the following day).
Pretty expensive for moving 1 BR. Having the right truck would have helped a lot.
And the worse part is when I emailed Alex about it (twice) there was no reply.
