A lesson learned today about moving

Took some action on the moving to Tampa thing today. Just a recommendation. call a few companies yourself. Dont go into the first websight that tells you they will have a few people compete for your money. here is the problem. I got about 20 different companies e-mailing me, and about 6 or so of them also called. They are all within about 100 bucks on the total cost with different sales pitches on why I should hire them instead of anyone else. Seriously, I didnt need that many bids, and after the 4th company is about 100 bucks or so from all the rest you can get the gist of it, and yet I am the one that asked for the input so I dont feel I can be rude when they call. I run it down for them, and then they tell me a number that is about the same as the other five or six numbers I already received.

I am going over to Tampa to find a place this weekend and told some of them I would call them back afterwards, after awhile, I just told them I would make a decision next week ( so I wont feel guilty in not calling them back) bottom line, 750 bucks was the low end, but I think they just did that to get me to pick them because their underlying numbers just dont seem to work out right then I figure they jack it up in the middle of the move. . The general area was 910 to 1050. with a couple of them guaranteeing a flat rate of 1k ....
