"This company moved my belongings from McKinney Texas to Chicago Illinois a couple of months ago. The guys packed our one bedroom apartment very professionally and quickly. I would recommend this company to my friends."
"My position was moved out of town, and I had very little time to move. I hadn't even begun packing when I had to look for a job and an apartment. Fortunately, the NATIONWIDE MOVING did it all. They packed all their belongings, boxed off each room, and even labeled everything according to where it would go in the new home. I am grateful for their service!"
"They had to do some last minute rescheduling which got us off to a late start, but when the team arrived they hauled @ss. They carefully wrapped each piece of furniture and loaded it onto the truck. Nothing was damaged, broken or scratched and everything was clean when they were done. I would call Charles again for any moving job I needed."
"I was extremely stressed about my move. My original plan was to enlist friends to help me move, but I had a lot of heavy furniture. I called Nationwide Movers the day I was moving! They were there in a few hours. They were quick, very organized, professional, and overall simply amazing! I would tell anybody to hire them if they need a moving service! To the guys who moved me, THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN!"
"Incredible service from A Plus Moving! The team was punctual, professional, and handled everything with great care. They made my move smooth, quick, and completely stress-free. I?m extremely satisfied and will definitely use them again!"
"We moved from a 2 to a 3-bedroom house. I used Global Moving for my move, and they were at my window for moving 15 minutes early from committed time. Their cost was the same as they quoted, but the main reason I chose them was based on my comfort level. I highly recommend them! My move went so smoothly and easily."
Focus on decluttering when downsizing to move cross-country. Selling, donating, or recycling unwanted items early in your moving process is key to your success. If you are on the fence about some items, consider storage options, or you can ship these items separately to lessen your load.
You should consider hiring professional movers for moves that seem too daunting, dangerous, or involve large, heavy objects. The larger your home and the longer the distance, the more likely you are to need professional help. A moving service can take the hardest tasks off your plate and reduce the risk of personal injury. However, if you are only moving a few light items, you can save money by moving on your own and renting a truck. Keep in mind that a DIY move requires significant planning and time. A hybrid option is also available, where you hire movers just to lift and transport heavy items to your vehicle.
Moving straps like forearm or shoulder straps can usually support up to 800 pounds, sometimes more with specialized straps. However, that doesn’t mean that one person can always lift that much weight, just that the straps are rated for that amount. For example, some straps require two people working together to balance the weight of the heavy item.
Yes, you can take your potted plants with you when you move if you use sterilized potting soil. However, some states have strict guidelines about this practice, so it’s best to consult the Department of Agriculture’s regulations surrounding pest control and plant types ahead of your move.
Yes, movers will usually move one item like a gas grill—but your propane tank must be empty if you want them to move it. If you still have propane, you’ll need to either transport it yourself or dispose of it properly and purchase a new one after the move.
