Summary:
Based on current information I would recommend to be cautious when choosing this company. You are looking at a chance of 1 out of 4 to be unsatisfied this way or another. They however have a chance to improve their SOUR in the future (to RELATIVELY SAFE) if they maintain complaint-free history for at least a year.
I would recommend you to do some more shopping around to see what other companies have to offer. You can get few quotes from several long distance movers right here. In any case, never book with a company that did not perform a visual estimate in your house and did not give you a flat price for your move. Also, check this thread to learn How to find a good moving company.
If you still decide for some reason to hire this company we advise you to take some protective steps. Follow the guidelines in our Moving Guide regarding closing deals with movers and understanding your estimate, and make sure you insist on having an on-site visual and getting a binding estimate (but that should be done regardless of who you choose for your move). Also, insure your valuable items on MovingInsurance.com.
Good luck with your move,
