I wish I could say that Angel's Moving did an amazing job, and honestly after they shipped our car we decided to also ship our motorcycle with them as the car went very smoothly at least we thought since the pick up was on time (it was still in route). They gave us a verbal quote of $325 for the motorcycle (which of course I wrote down) as a repeat customer discounted price, then when we called to place the order, we found out they had already charged our credit card, and also raised the price to $650! I would say if you get the quote in writing they are reliable and do pick up in the time window you request, which it seems on this review site is difficult to find and we definitely appreciated. If you get a verbal quote however watch out! To raise the price, in fact almost double it in a matter of days, and then not take ownership of it, we found incredibly frustrating. We then went onto www.uship.com to find a motorcycle carrier, where we offered $320 for someone to ship the motorcycle and within 24 hours we had an amazing gentleman pick it up and deliver it safely and it was impeccably clean by the way (unlike our car which was filthy) to our new location within 2 days! Wow, now I wish we had gone to the Uship site for our car also, perhaps we would have saved a ton on the car as well. Uship only bids it out to reputable carriers and its insured as part of the service. You can name your price and it shows you percentage wise how likely someone is to accept your bid. You can start low and then raise your price. We just went in with a fair price and it got accepted quickly. In fact, I am wondering if that's what Angel's Moving Autos does, bid out to carriers on Uship.com then mark the price up. If that's the case, then we as consumers can do the same thing and save A TON of money. I hope that helps you in your choice. Thanks, and all the best.
