Finding a reliable moving company, in NY?
Now, there's a challenge. I read or saw, (Somewhere) that NY BBB & NYC AG's office gets more complaints about "Moving Companies", then any other business's.
Any one use FlatRate Moving?

Sorry I forgot to ask, did you have a good road trip. Has the decision been made? 
OMG I've just had a thought, you're not moving to Ohio are you?

I've watched this program on TV a few times which is about moving day for family's (I think that it's called Moving Day!). They all seem to live in the Jersey/NYC/Mass areas (all the episodes I've seen anyway). The moving company is always 'Gentle Giants'. They are supposed to be renowned for taking extra special care of your belongings.
