My experience with moving companies has been largely negative. They try to do things cheaply and often employ convicted criminals (because they lack to skills and trust to obtain employment elsewhere, but can lift heavy stuff for minimum wage) to pack and move stuff. Hence why I usually find items broken and lost/stolen upon arrival. The moving companies are reluctant to take responsibility for any damage and loss/theft that occurred under their watch. And if you file a lawsuit, it will likely cost you more that the item(s) in question.
Of course, this is a generalization and based on my experience. However, if you doubt me, please ask anyone who has been in the military and moved multiple times between duty stations and I’m sure their experiences will be similar to mine.
That said, moving companies often allow customers to annotate any high value items, with which they will take additional precautions.
My recommendation is to use the movers to transport firearms as a last resort.
