My biggest pleasant surprise, after depressing high moving quotes, was a local company called BEST MEXICO MOVERS, with owner Chuck Bolotin. He specializes in cross border moves between Mexico and the USA.
My realtor and friends had recommended two local moving companies. One was very professional and friendly, the other didn’t reply in spite of my two office visits. Both quoted over 20,000 pesos for an already packed truck from Tucson to Chapala.
When I called Chuck, he was so personable and calmed me down in minutes. His quotes were done so clear and practical in a three-column spreadsheet where you could choose which scenario you liked best.
Another great experience was, he didn’t rush me to get the money together, which was less than half of the others. He simply emailed “whenever you are ready, we are here for you”. It took me several months and he kept the same price for me.
The execution was flawless. He corresponded with the ranch owner where I had my truck and arranged a seamless transition of transferring my goods into his truck and arrived functionally at my door in Chapala, to the hour! Inspired a hiccup on the border because I forgot to list my ancient VHS/TV. His team took care of that too.
Unloading was as stress-free and with no damages whatsoever. During those 5 days of transit Chuck and his team kept me posted in the nicest way.
I would say, the move was almost fun! So rare that a company takes all your headaches away and does what they say. I am so impressed.
Thank you again, Chuck and team;)
There is also a YouTube interview out there to put a face to his name.
