One-Stop Comparison Shopping for Moving Companies Unpakt takes part of the pain out of moving by allowing customers to compare moving company prices online.

What It Is
While it can't relieve all the stress from the sucky process of moving house, Unpakt.com is doing something about one of the most frustrating tasks: finding the right movers

How It Works
Customers enter details about their move into the website--including date and location, number of boxes and specifics on furniture--and within seconds receive fixed quotes from insured moving companies that have been vetted by Unpakt. Customers can then book their move through the site.

As long as the customer inputs accurate information about the inventory and special services like packing and storage (which can also be booked through Unpakt), the price listed on the site is fixed. If customers discover that they have more or fewer items than originally listed, they can log on to the site or Unpakt's mobile app and adjust their inventory, even up to moving day.
