"All Service Moving was exceptional. Great customer service - easy to schedule and flexible. Royce & Frost did an AMAZING job moving all of our very heavy and fragile belongings. They handled all of our requests and items with care and worked both efficiently and quickly. They were super friendly and very customer service oriented. I can't thank them enough for the GREAT job they did. I highly recommend All Service Moving for anything moving and/or storage related. And DEFINITELY request Royce & Frost to handle your job. Thank You!"

"I’ve moved around quite a bit in the Bay Area and I can say that by far Alexander Moving is the best moving company and team that I’ve hired. They’re punctual, professional, and very communicative. Another reason they’re a great moving company is they’re great at wrapping fragile items, as well as TVs and furniture. I highly recommend Alexander Moving."

"North Star was great to work with. They provided a very thorough quote, stuck with their number throughout, and delivered exactly as they promised. Their team was professional. and they completed our move with everything arriving well packed and safely. They had exactly the right number of people for the job, and completed the move quickly and efficiently. Their office team provided excellent communication throughout the process. I will definitely use them again when needed."

"Excellent! Before my long-distance move was complete I started recommending Hauling Moses to a work colleague who's also moving. The is my 5th long-distance move and it was by far the most professional. The quote I received before my move was the price I paid and not a penny over. That was amazing all on its own. The guys were professional and kind. They took great care of my stuff. Communication was great. I will use them when I move again!"

"4 guys came out to pack and move for our move out of a 2BR apartment. They worked non-stop and our move within SJ was completed well before we had anticipated. It was one of the least difficult moves I had done. Booking process was also extremely smooth."

Moving questions, answered by experts

There are many places to get moving boxes, so it’s worthwhile to shop around and compare prices. Try big-box stores such as Walmart, as well as home improvement stores such as Lowe’s and The Home Depot. You can also try specialty places such as U-Haul or Office Depot. Finally, check online at Amazon or ask your friends or family if they have any spare moving boxes they could lend you.

It depends on your policy, but you may be covered for any damages to your personal property. How much you receive will depend on the circumstances under which property was damaged and if you can prove it was damaged during the incident on the road. Your insurance company may also only cover the cost to repair any items, and not outright replace them. Checking in with your insurance provider will help you get a clearer picture of your overall coverage.

It’s typically not advisable to move heavy furniture by yourself. However, if you are confident that you can do it safely, there are several different tools you can use, including a hand truck, a four-wheel dolly, or an appliance dolly. If you’re moving furniture upstairs or downstairs, a hand truck is the most suitable choice. Regardless of what you choose to use, always ensure that the furniture is well-balanced and secure by using lifting straps or tie-down straps to keep it in place.

Products that are hazardous, such as aerosol sprays, top the list of what to leave behind during a move. Avoid packing perishables, garden and garage chemicals, pool supplies, compressed gases, and combustible items. If you are trying to move by yourself, you may want to downsize so you have fewer belongings to pack and move (and then unpack).

For a long trip, it is less expensive to schedule a one-way rental since you're driving fewer miles. Plus, it's usually not feasible to move across the country and then drive the vehicle back to where you got it. However, a round-trip option makes more sense if you're moving in town.
