My guess is they can do the move for you, but not very efficiently for where you're moving to - hence the higher price and the suggestion to look elsewhere.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
IME, that kind of answer is usually code for "Your job is too small for our company but instead of saying No, we're going to overcharge you and hope you go away."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Since the Buffista parents are having problems with the sprog at various ages, perhaps the job of raising them could be split up - someone who's really good with infants takes over any Buffista infant and then, at the next stage, passes them on to the toddler specialist. Whoever takes the teens gets a bonus, like combat pay.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

It takes an island. Buffista Island. I'll go get a lottery ticket, maybe that'll help us get it started.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That's basically the old kibbutz system.

I'll take them when they turn 30. Not so much a specialist with any earlier age group.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I have no children expertise, but I'm good at sitting around talking about how my niece is the cleverest and most awesomest little girl in the history of the world.
So we learnt today that our lawyers had done almost no work at all on our house sale, while lying to us that we would be able to complete the sale by early July. Bastards. Fortunately, our new lawyer is a Buffy fandom friend who's doing great work to get things sorted out. (And it's so much fun getting legal-speak letters from someone I knew when we were both nineteen and could drink a bottle of vodka between us on a fairly average night.)
Thank heavens for a good physical therapist.
Totally! I can't afford to see my decent one very often (and the NHS physiotherapists are very "Do these exercises, then go away and stop bothering us"), but she's just great.
