+1000We have moved a antique dining room table about 10 times around the country. My DH takes the legs off , puts the table between 2 mattress’s right below the roof of the truck. Not one mark on it. Moving companies frequently damage stuff so I would definitely wait. Plus the furniture might not fit well in the new home.
Our movers, a contractor to International Van Lines, was amazing. They stole things I didn't know were valuable. They broke things that were unbreakable.
Seriously they stole family heirlooms that I guess were worth $5?, managed to break a 60 yo wooden desk chair. My DW's vintage B&O stereo system was thrown inside a box with zero padding. Never mind the electronics, they broke the case and veneer.
They actually held our stuff hostage as they didn't want their payment in the agreed upon form of a cashier's check. Instead we had to come up with cash.
