Hi, I will be relocating to Seattle from the MidWest. Has anyone used Amazon’s relocation services recently for vehicle transportation, moving boxes (Shyft) and housing search (Dwellworks)? I won’t be moving for a while so I have time to look around for other options. I googled around and realized that Shyft charges a lot more than the top google hit. I paid for the basic option for Dwellworks ($99) and the consultant assigned to me has been wonderful so far, letting me know my move date is still far out and I still have time to shop around. Wonder what are thoughts from people who have taken advantage of these “benefits”? Also, would like to know how good Common Co-living is in Seattle, or if you have any recommendations on housing for a newly vetted SDE1. Thanks! Tc: 170k
The relocation service is intentionally expensive. It means the amount you need to pay back if you leave within the payback period is higher. The dwell works person I got was useless, but ymmv on that. Just be ear with them on where you want to live.
graebel offers all inclusive move plan. unless you took lump sum option...
I did not have a choice. They only offered lump sum.
