Any recommendations for good, inexpensive movers in town? Just for moving from place to place within Tulsa.

Can't find much info online except a couple of companies with terrible reviews. Thanks.

Most people won't post a review of a good experience.  On line reviews are often reserved for hatchet jobs.

I've used 2 Fellas a couple of times in the past and they did a great job.

I used 2 Men & a Truck when I moved in December and was very pleased with their service.

It's been several years, but I used 2 Guys and big truck... or maybe it was fellas and a truck... something like that that... I didn't have that much stuff and they were able to load, get it there, and unpack right under two hours so I got the minimum charge.  (I already had everything packed/boxed)

2 fellas was one of the ones I saw with bad reviews. And I'm aware people will often only post bad reviews. But I checked the bbb and they did seem to have a lot of copmlaints against them. All my sons was the other with bad reviews and a lot of complaints with the bbb...

Two Scots is another local small truck company you might try.

2 Fellas and a big truck out here in B.A. are excellent. If you have any problems talk to Josh. He is the owner and is very hands on. He is a great guy to do business with.
Changing opinions one mistake at a time.

Some friends of mine used them for their move a couple of years ago and can't say enough good about them.

I also had a good experience with them. We did the packing, they did the moving.

I used Relocation, Inc. last time I moved.  I thought they did a pretty good job but they brought in a 4th guy that was some day laborer that didn't know what to do and spent most of the time standing around.  I guess it was because I had so much stuff they wanted another guy.  It was a lot more expensive than they quoted me too.

My main recommendation is to make sure all the guys will be full-time professional movers that work for the company and not day laborers.  It also helps if they can guarantee the quote for the move and won't stiff you with a higher bill when it is done.  I bought the movers insurance too because I knew they would probably break something but I moved my most valuable stuff on my own.
