I do all of my large shipping with them too, and have been totally
satisfied with their service. I agree with everything that Guy has
said. I have used them many times during the past 3 years to ship
*LOTS* of large equipment, PDP-11 blinkinglight systems in racks,
fragile 35 year old terminals on pedestals, etc. They have always
delivered oir picked up on time and it was a painless process just as
Guy described. I was a little nervous with my first shipment, but they
have proven time and time again that they will get my stuff moved
in a safe and timely manner. Last week I they delivered two large
racks of 35 year old PDP-11 systems and drives, a DecWriter,
and a card reader to my place. They gave me a delivery date with
a 3 hour window of delivery, and the delivery truck came right in
the middle of the delivery window. Smooth and painless.

I do *all* of my large shipping through them (unless I do it myself). I
have been *extremely* happy with them and I've been using them for a
number of years now. One of the things I like about them is that they
are pretty much "fire and forget". I don't have to hand hold them to
get stuff done and they do a good job of getting stuff moved with no
breakage. I do however give them *all* of the information at the start
of the transaction.
Of course, I've done enough business with them that they call me up
occasionally to see if I have anything that needs to be shipped.

I'm using them for a dovebid sale and while
things are scheduled to be
delivered tomorrow (knock on wood), so far I've been pretty
unimpressed with moveit.com. They haven't been very good at
communicating important details like MY SHIPPING ADDRESS, when the
shipment would be made, how payment was to take place, etc.
They say they do a love of business through dovebid, and while that
may be so, I don't think I would use them again in the future compared
to my experiences with cratersandfreighters.com.
Has anyone else used these guys?
What was your experience?
