"The three movers who came to work with us arrived on time and were very nice gentlemen. It took about half an hour to take the piano out of the apartment and load it in the truck.  When they finished moving I checked everything and it was absolutely without any scratches or something. Super nice and reliable service."

"Head guy came out to take a look at what our one bedroom apartment held.  Told him that we also had a very large storage unit that held the remainder of our four bedroom house that had been sold.  He gave a quote for everything, a time and date for the movers to arrive an we were set. 
Two days before the move, he called to let us know that one of his drivers had been pulled over coming back from Nevada into California.  The driver had an unpaid ticket on his record, so the state of California shut the moving business down until all of the correcting paperwork could be completed.  So, he couldn't move us as scheduled.  I understand things happen, but to just drop out of a move without any attempt to mitigate the damage to the customer is unthinkable in a reliable company.
I ended up having to scramble to rent a truck on my own and find another company that could move everything into this rental truck.
Another thing that had bothered me was that he didn't feel the need to check out our storage unit to see how much stuff we had.  I then asked him "what if it all doesn't fit"?  His reply "my guy is a magician at fitting things in to trucks".  With the largest truck Penske rents, a 26 footer, we couldn't fit everything in it and had to leave the remainder for second trip later, so there's a big question as to his being able to accomplish the move as promised anyway.

"One of the movers requested that I pay him off the books. The price he quoted was actually more than what was quoted by the company. Also, it was a big move. Several of my items were missing."

"The 3 Kings team was excellent! I hired four movers at the owner's request (who, by the way, is very personable and helpful) as I was in the unique circumstance of moving to a third-floor apartment and in possession of quite a collection of books. I was a bit nervous about that fact - I'd looked at several other movers and reviews mentioned little about upper floor apartment services. 3 Kings were one of the few that actually responded to my request for a quote via Angi, and did so same-day. They were communicative, prompt and outlined every step of the process. Their quote was accurate and they were realistic about the challenges of my move. They treated my belongings with care. I did notice a few scuffs on a furniture piece here and there, but nothing that wouldn't have happened during moving anyway - and none of my belongings were otherwise damaged or broken. Moreover each and every one of the workers was polite and hard-working. Major props to the team for lugging my items up four flights of stairs on a hot day. They were outstanding. I would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to anyone looking for moving assistance."

"Jorge and his team were phenomenal. They drove 100 miles to get to us, brought all supplies and packing materials, expertly packed our old baby grand piano to survive a move, and were friendly, communicative, and helpful."

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

Moving companies offer a variety of service packages to suit different needs and budgets during the moving process. They typically provide loading, unloading, and transportation services, using specialized equipment to handle heavy and bulky items. Services can also include packing assistance, where professional packers securely pack belongings to ensure their safety during transportation. Some moving companies also offer temporary storage options, as well as unpacking services upon arrival.

Moving insurance helps protect your belongings from damage or loss during the moving process. This policy can help reimburse you either part of or the total amount of your belongings that become damaged during the moving process. Moving insurance has three main options: full value protection, released value protection, and third-party or separate liability coverage. Speak with your moving company to determine what is covered under each policy and their cost to determine the best fit for your needs. 

When loading a moving truck, the general rule is to load the heaviest and largest items first to create a stable base at the front of the truck, which helps balance the weight. You can start with large furniture like sofas, beds, mattresses, and tables to form a solid foundation, or begin by placing your heaviest boxes against the truck's walls to create a base layer. After the base is set, continue loading other large items like appliances and square furniture. Lighter and smaller objects, including most of your boxes, should be loaded last. They can be packed into gaps, around, and on top of the heavier items to maximize space. Following this order makes unloading easier and helps prevent damage to your belongings.

Pool tables are exceptionally heavy, some weighing as much as 2,500 pounds. As a result, they require multiple movers to move, and because of their size, it's difficult to get them upstairs or around tight corners. You can save money on pool table moving by using your own packing supplies and disassembling them before movers arrive.

The average cost to hire professional movers is approximately $1,700, but the total price can range from as low as $920 to over $12,000 depending on the move's complexity. For local moves, typically under 100 miles, costs generally fall between $920 and $2,530. Long-distance moves are more expensive, with prices ranging from $2,700 to $10,000 or more.

Several key factors influence the final cost:

  • Distance and Home Size: The mileage of the move and the size of your home.

  • Number of Movers: Hourly rates can range from $25 to $50 for one or two movers, increasing to $100 to $200 for a team of four or more.

  • Services: Additional services like packing, unpacking, and storage will add to the cost.

  • Specialty Items: Moving large or delicate items such as pianos, vehicles, or large aquariums incurs extra charges.

  • Timing and Access: The time of year, your specific moving date, and the ease of access to your home can affect rates.

Don’t forget to account for other potential costs like moving supplies and tipping your movers.
