I was told it would take 6 men and up to 2 hours for the men to move my stand and 400 pound aquarium from my garage to my living room. They quoted $450-$500. It took about 15 minutes for 4 men to move the aquarium and stand. They charged me $450. I was quite pleased with the results. I was never quoted a trip charge or hourly rate so I guess it ended up being what was quoted. $450 an hour, I feel, is a bit steep. However, if everything went as smoothly as this was, it would be a beautiful day.

Jim, thank you for the review. We’re glad the aquarium and stand move went smoothly and that you were pleased with the results.
Just to clarify, Reliable Movers does not charge by the hour. Specialty moves like this are quoted at a flat rate based on the item, crew, equipment, travel, and handling involved. The $450 price was quoted before the move, and fortunately the job went smoothly and was completed quickly.
We appreciate your business!
