Thanks for the tip, Dr. Eve! Nice to see there are good choices out there.

Just wanted to chime in on this thread. Tried to book with Old City Movers but they were full. I heard from a friend that one of the owners recently left to start a new company called Broad Street Movers. Gave them a call and talked with Mark (the owner) who couldn't have been more pleasant and knowledgeable. The guys came out to the job and I was surprised that Mark himself was one the crew! Needless to say everything went great and it looks like the reputation Mark helped to build at Old City has carried over to Broad Street. He talked very highly of his old company and seemed happy that people now have more than one choice when it comes to finding honest movers. No easy task as I'm sure many of you know! My apartment wasn't very big and the whole thing was over it seemed before I even finished my coffee. That's a little bit of an exageratrion but really, the guys were great so if you see this, "Thank you from Dr. Eva"!!!

Was still cheaper than Mambo would have been. And unfortunately, while I used to hear good things about them, the most recent posts on Mambo (at least on Citysearch) were a bit discouraging.

Yeah, I've got to say I was impressed with Old City Movers. It was pricey, sure, but that just kind of goes along with moving.

Looks like Mambo may have some competition...

Old City moved us about 2 months ago and they totally ROCKED! We had to move in by 5 PM or we get hit with a big fine and they said NO PROBLEM. They didn't break, scratch, or a knick a thing and moved us in in a record 2 hours. Absolutely fantastic and cannot recommend them enough!
