We did.. but that ended up being a whole shit show that I still have to work out.
you ended up using a moving company afterall?
Apparently the company I booked through was a broker. This was not told to me or represented anywhere on the quote that I could easily find. So our initial quote was $2900 for all of our furniture and a rough first guesstimate of 50 medium sized boxes. We were told we’d get a call 2-3 days before our move to verify the exact number of boxes, etc. Call never came, day before the move I called like “yo, are we still on?” lady who answered the phone was super short with me and just said “the truck will show up between 9am and noon tomorrow, then hung up the phone before I could ask about our actual number of boxes/items (closer to 75 since we used more smaller boxes and had random miscellaneous stuff that couldn’t be easily boxed).
Truck and the guy that runs the final number shows up the next day, he goes, “whoa this is way more than what you were quoted, your quote was for 390 (I think, I’ll have to check that again) cubic feet, and this is easily 1000cuft.” Okay whatever, lead the truck and we can calculate the cubic footage. They finish loading, close the door and drive off, then dude come to me (he drove separate) and says “yeah that was 1200 cuft, your new cost is $7200.” I didn’t have any way of checking that since the truck had fucking left, so I paid half. Whenever the truck shows up, I’ll verify the footage used, and make my case for paying less than $7200. They literally just used a 26’ uhaul, branding and everything still on it, so I know the width (8.1’) and height (8.25’). So based on those numbers they better be 18’ deep to get 1200 cubic feet. I’ll give them that they can’t go exactly to ceiling or wall to wall since stuff is irregularly shaped, and give them the 66.825 sqft, then I’ll measure how far out from the back wall we are and make my case.
The other miscommunication thing was that the broker made it sound like after packing our shit they were pounding the pavement up to Oregon. Nope. Truck is sitting somewhere for the next 7-14 days while they wait to see if they can combine our shipment with someone else’s. Pretty fucking pissed. But whatever. It’ll get here when it gets here, and I’ll work out the space used and cost at that time.
you're stuff will get there, and your approach to square away the amount is strong.
is SHE taking the thing apart and looking at it?
They are doing more harm than good. If you're too lazy to break it down, just throw it away.
you don't need. 
that sounds shitty. Good idea to get actual measurements of your stuff while still on the truck. Take pics, too, showing how many feet went unused.
we knew it’d go up from the $2900, but $7,200 is unreasonable IMO. Luckily we have the basis for the price at $4.25/cuft, so it will hopefully be easy to get them to charge me an honest price and not just some guy telling me it took up 1200cuft.
