"Overall, my experience was very good. The person who helped me with my quote was responsive and personable. We did have some communication issues regarding some of the items we wanted moved. We crews that helped us with the physical move worked very hard and provided solutions when issues came up. The single recommendation I could provide to anyone is be 100% sure everything you want to move is on the digital inventory at least 5 days before moving day. The day of the move, I found things were missing on the digital inventory even though we talked about it."

"I highly, highly recommend Best Moving Service. From the moment I emailed the company and then called and spoke with Doug for a quote, everything was handled with utmost professionalism, and they made it all as easy as possible. The information was all provided in a clear and honest manner, and the company was very diligent about confirming everything. As a veteran of numerous moves, including cross country moves -- and thus a veteran of every type of positive and negative experience -- I was somewhat stressed about this small move because we were on a very tight schedule. Turns out there was nothing to worry about. Art and Albert showed up right on time, the move went quickly and smoothly and with great care for our items, and we were all incredibly pleased by the experience. We have a couple of other moves coming up in the future, and Best Moving Service will be our go-to!"

"The move couldn't have gone better. Communication was excellent, and the timing of the move went exactly as expected. The gentlemen who performed the move were friendly, professional, and very careful. Their experience was very evident. I would definitely hire Affordable Piano Movers again, should the need to move my piano comes up. A+++++"

"All moves are stressful because there are a lot of moving parts (pun intended) but Derek and his team, both the So Cal AND the Boise folks, were just top notch. There's not enough time or space to convey what I was most impressed with about A-R, the company, or Derek Zimmer, chief in charge. Derek is just masterful when it comes to the tetris, puzzle + geometry of efficient packing and loading. But it is his clear, calm demeanor that made the difference in my overall satisfaction with his services. In the realm of moving and relocation services, he is wise beyond his years and I can highly recommend his company, A-R Moving."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Let me just say, if you're planning a long-distance move, look no further than Let's Move It Right. They exceeded all my expectations. The team was courteous and professional, keeping me updated throughout the entire process. They worked efficiently, and despite the long haul, nothing was damaged. The movers even helped me rearrange a few things in the new place, which I wasn’t expecting but really appreciated. The moving price was more than fair, especially considering the quality of service. Moving is stressful, but these guys made it a breeze. Highly recommend."

"Recently hired Dan and his team to move my 3 bedroom home to NYC. All incredibly professional and most importantly transparent on the cost. Walked me through every detail of the cost breakdown including the need for a shuttle service due to NYC’s narrow streets. I was honestly skeptical at first, expecting hidden fees to pop up later since my last movers did this to me, but there were none. Move itself was smooth and well coordinated. Dan’s team handled everything with care and what could have been a stressful move totally felt manageable - you should hire these guys! Thanks, Dan!"

Moving questions, answered by experts

The cost to hire movers for a full-service move is at least $2,300. This typically includes packing and unpacking, loading and unloading, transportation, furniture assembly, and furniture disassembly.

Costs will vary based on the number of items you have, with additional surcharges for heavy and valuable items. If you’re interested in this service, get multiple quotes from different moving services to find the best deal.

Renting a moving truck is often the cheapest way to move long-distance, with costs ranging from $1,000 to $2,100. For smaller moves with fewer items, a moving container can cost as little as $700. As the distance of your move increases, using moving pods or containers can become more cost-effective because you can ship them to your destination and avoid transportation costs like gas, mileage, and lodging.

It takes professional movers longer to load a moving truck than unload it. However, it depends on the specifics of your move. It takes some time to strategize the most efficient way to load the moving truck with your furniture, boxes, and belongings. That’s why it’s important to rent the right size moving truck to ensure everything fits and makes the loading process move faster.

The best way to move a 3-bedroom house long distance depends on your budget. Hiring a full-service moving company works best if you have a higher budget. If you’re on a tighter budget, renting a moving van and doing everything yourself is your best bet. Other options include renting a storage container, pod, or freight container. You can also ship your belongings if you don’t have many items. 

You should transfer utilities at least two weeks before your final move-out date. It is best to schedule the turning off of all utilities 24 hours after your move. Doing so will ensure a smooth transition without any gaps in service while you are still living in the home.
