 Recommendation

Book Furniture Taxi first — closest to your destination, highest reliability (5 stars), and lowest total estimated cost.
Keep Mike Rockingham as a backup (affordable + bigger truck in case of overflow).
Avoid Mike Scarborough unless you specifically want heavy‑truck capacity or corporate‑grade service.
