A very successful move from Europe!
After the nightmare that was our move to Luxembourg, the move back to the States was amazingly smooth. All the lessons we learned paid off for us this time. (See posts
A Moving Company for the Return Trip and Hiring a Moving Company.)
We hired Security Relocation (http://www.wemove4u.com/), and we had no problems and are very happy with the service we had from them all the way along.
They gave us an estimate that included just the services we wanted, without anything extra that would cost extra. They dropped off a container on a Friday, picked it up on the next Monday, and we were able to load it ourselves. This meant waving any damage insurance (though it was still insured if the entire container washed overboard, or something like that), but it was cheaper because a lot of our stuff hadn't been unpacked from the move to Luxembourg, so we didn't need "full service".
We were able to pay by credit card. They kept in contact with us all along the way, even when it was difficult to reach us during my hospital stay. We knew when the container had reached the States. We knew when it cleared customs. They were able to deliver it at the perfect time to move straight into our new house instead of into storage. The people were always nice, and I could always find someone to help me during business hours. They were great about answering both phone messages and email. I would recomend them completely to anyone needing to relocate internationally.
However, if you have to move inside the US, there is still no safer way that to U-Haul it yourself. If you think you can't pack the house yourself, then hire someone to help you pack, but be there to supervise. No one is going to care for your things like you do.
