We were quoted $20,000 for a relocation from Kansas City to Portland. It was technically a $25,000 quote, but we received a $5,000 "discount" through my wife's employer. Every other company that we bid our relocation out to charged less than $10,000 for the exact same scope of work. We ended up getting everything done for a bit over $7,500 through a different company. I honestly don't understand how Suddath was coming up with their numbers, especially given the fact that all of their competitors that we contacted were half or less.
EDIT In response to Suddath's response to my review: I would like to point out that the scope of work given to each relocation company was EXACTLY the same. They all came in at $10,000 or less. It is hardly my fault if your sales person misidentified a variable and charged such an excessive price. To me, it sounds like a training opportunity for your sales team. Unfortunately, it seems like you aren't taking it as one.
I recently coordinated an office move, for some of our staff, from our downtown Portland headquarters to an outer field office.
One of the first things I had to focus on was finding a reliable and cost-efficient mover. A colleague suggested Suddath, so I called them up, discussed our plans and received a realistically priced estimate within hours.
In advance of the move Suddath stayed in touch to make sure any outstanding questions were answered. On move day the Suddath team showed prepared to get the job done. In fact, the crew, led by Jerome, was awesome! They were quick, careful and above all courteous and professional.
My thanks to Suddath for their accountability and flexibility in working with me to ensure a successful office move!
