The only thing worse than having to pack up everything you own in anticipation of a move is trying to find a qualified mover. Finding a reasonable -- and fixed -- price for packing, heavy lifting, transporting and moving in all of your worldly possessions can be more exhausting than the move itself.

Enter Unpakt.com. At last, there is a comparison-shopping site that brings the Kayak and Expedia model to finding a qualified moving company. Finding and booking a trustworthy mover in Fire Island is now as easy as booking a flight, renting a car or buying home appliances (and, it seems, just about everything else these days).

Most people rely on word-of-mouth, ads or low prices. They would comparison shop, which meant a weary recital of the estimated amount and complexity of items from artwork and musical instruments to glasses and antiques. The outcome more often than not is an unprofessional pick-up crew to whom "fragile" and "this side up" are foreign phrases.

Then there are all those inevitable hidden charges, surcharges, taxes and everything else that unscrupulous movers could tag onto the initial fee. As if picking up and leaving one's home weren't fraught enough!

Unpakt.com brings transparency to the pricing confusion that surrounds moving. You never know what you're paying for, and eliminates those hidden charges you inevitably discover in your final bill.

Unpakt.com takes all the guesswork out of moving. All you have to do is enter your location, where you're going to and what you're moving. Unpakt guides you through a simple home inventory, then instantly provides you with the exact price of your move from a pre-screened group of reputable, experienced Fire Island moving companies.

You can compare companies on previous user reviews, exact prices, and services. Once you've found your perfect mover, you can book directly on Unpakt - no need for you to contact the mover.

Unpakt.com is available in Fire Island and across America in more than 25 states. Even better, EDGE readers receive 5 percent instant cash back simply by entering the promo code "EDGE." Your move must be booked by July 31, 2013.

While it can't help you find the perfect oceanfront condo in South Beach, West Hollywood bungalow or Manhattan loft, Unpakt.com will at least give you piece of mind - not your possessions in pieces.
