Zach, Tyler, and I are hopefully moving to Vienna in very early August. I've tried my best to sell and downsize, but I still have a lot of stuff and I'm not going to waste my time destroying my back trying to wrestle furniture. I was thinking paying for like 3-4 hours would be sufficient to get all of the big stuff from one apartment to the other and everything else can fit in our cars.
A big concern of mine is the garage, which has a lot of stuff that would be nearly impossible to get in the GTI. I'm not sure if there are any stipulations that would stop the movers from grabbing that stuff too. I'm certainly open to offering some beer and dinner to some people that want to help, but I feel very strongly about getting some movers, even if it's for the bare minimum time and avoid renting my own truck.
Thoughts?
I tried looking into something similar when I moved to Fairfax. I really just wanted someone to carry all my shit up 3 flights of stairs but just about any actual business was going to be close to $500 at a bare minimum just to move a few boxes, a dresser and a mattress. I think the best deal through a legit business I found wanted $60 per hour, per person with a 3 hour min. Sounded decent until they mentioned they charged from the moment they rolled off their lot til the time they got back. Paying people $120/hr to sit in traffic didn't really sit well with me.
I'm always down to spend a weekend in NoVA and have a truck with an 8ft bed. Will lift heavy things for some Aslin beers and food. A toolbox might the only thing that may be a pain but I do have some cheap loading ramps for my tailgate.
