The pricing doesn't matter because all of your things would fit onto one partially full lift van; whether your items consisted of a 3 story house, or just a few things. In the end, the cost to move the items would not vary much, so the $8000 quote was about right.
Now you're stuck trying to do the move via truck?? Think about this. If you do a move by truck is the domestic US, the company can take up to 30 days after the 7 business days to deliver and they would not be breaching the contract with you. Why?? Because that requirement is set by Federal Law. Since you basically are doing the equivalent move except going to Canada, the terms are pretty much the same....30 days after 12/25/11. If you were required to pay them in full upfront, you picked the wrong company to do the move..... Reputable companies don't ask for that upfront.
You definitely learned an important lesson....best of luck to you!!
