"Five stars! They went beyond the call. I needed movers, on call, asap! My kids relocated from Midwest to CA, and they didn’t book movers. The U-Haul breaking down, two days in CO. Tom worked with me. Once my child was within a two hour reach, I was able to contact Tom, booked three men. Movers and kids arrived the same time! Those men jumped into gear and completed unloading before three hour, moving on the second floor! Awesome, awesome job! I called and not one company was available . I don’t live in CA, absolutely trustworthy! I trusted Tom and their team came through! This move was a complete nightmare! The movers call and total relief. Thank you"

Long Distance Moving & Storage. Household, Commercial, International, Corporate services available. Our Mission is To exceed expectations on every move. We live this day in and day out. Our service is top notch and fully efficient. Our trucks are perfectly equipped for moving with Pads, dollies, Plastic and much more. We provide Long Distance Moves across the entire country, directly from our West Coast HUBS located in AZ, CA, OR and WA. Or, we team with our partner companies to complete moves together. We are proud to provide a service that no other company offers; Dedicated Trucks. This means that your belongings are loaded on the truck and not combined with anyone else’s items (from/to west coast only). They are not transferred to other trucks or facilities in route which causes damage and loss of items (typical with van lines). We have a set loading day and unloading day. This is by far the safest way to ship. Our interstate rates are per 24ft moving van that holds up to 8,500lbs or 1400CuFt. Some customers require one truck and some require more. One truck holds the average 1800SqFt.

"I cannot say enough great things about All Service Moving—and ESPECIALLY Rico and Reyes, who were absolute lifesavers for my last-minute move. After another moving company bailed on me the day before my scheduled move, All Service swooped in and saved the day. Rico and Reyes showed up EARLY, upbeat, and ready to tackle the challenge—even with super heavy furniture that usually requires a 4-person crew. Somehow, the two of them handled everything like pros without a single scratch or ding—on the furniture or either home. What really stood out was how personable, kind, and thoughtful they were. They moved quickly and efficiently, knowing I was paying by the hour, but never once sacrificed care or quality. They were kind to my mom (who was helping me out), and so sweet to my two dogs too. If you’re planning a move, ask for Rico and Reyes by name. They went above and beyond, and I want their team to know what a fantastic job they did. They deserve every bit of recognition. 100% recommend."

To understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a personal and professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"Beware of Oh Ship and FELIX. I added a local moving project on Angi and got a call from FELIX, from OH SHIP. Felix talked well quoting me an hourly rate for 2 men and a 26 ft truck. The quoted price was high but Felix came accross well, I checked that OH Ship was Legit. I countd on Angi for checking the vendord they refer. It was a flat rate without any other junk fee or taxes. I specifically asked to start at the Storage as it was mainly boxes and storage closed at 9. But The crew came to the house and they said Sorry for mistake, will do the storage later. Since then, I tried contacting FELIX via Txt/calls multiple times but now it was DEAD. By the time the crew loaded from home,it was late, truck was half empty but no floor space. Made the trip with half stuff. Before unloading, the accountant called asking for payment that now had admin fee, material fee and overtime. Arguments were of no avail and I paid double for half job done. BEWARE of FELIX never responded"

Moving questions, answered by experts

The lowest-cost days to move are Monday through Thursday. Many people move on weekends for convenience, so weekdays are often more affordable for hiring movers or renting a moving truck. Ask your local moving company if they offer any discounts for certain times of the year or days of the week.

Renting a moving truck is the cheapest way to move out of state, with a national average of $1,000. However, the farther you move, the more cost-effective it becomes to use moving pods. You can ship the pod to your destination and eliminate transportation costs like gas, mileage, and lodging.

Tipping movers isn’t required, and most professional movers won’t expect it, but it’s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for the care they put into keeping your belongings and home safe. It’s best to tip each mover individually, usually around $10 each per hour. It’s a good idea to tip your movers if they took extra time to pack your belongings before moving, or if they moved specialty items, like a piano, pool table, aquariums, or vehicles.

Yes. You’ll at least need a permit in the state you’re moving from and the state you’re moving to (if applicable). If you’re moving across multiple states, you may need a permit in each state you drive the mobile home through. Your moving company can help you obtain these permits.

On average, it may take around three to five hours to complete the process of moving a hot tub, from disconnecting and draining it to actually moving it. The time required for hot tub moving depends on various factors, including the tub's size, accessibility, and distance to the new location.
