"They were excellent. They carefully moved and wrapped all of my items making sure that nothing was lost or damaged in the move. They showed up exactly when they said they would and moved everything really fast. They were kind and courteous with excellent customer service skills. I would highly reccomend this company.??"

"I recently move with Qshark. I move my 3 bedroom apartment. I had a great experience the crew was efficient and fast. They arrive on time. They call me 30 minutes before arriving as promise.They help me pack my household goods . I was so nervous it was my first time moving but it was a very smooth and stress free move. The crew was very professional and polite. I will recommend them to my family and friends. Thank you Qshark !!"

"WE MOVE U staff did a GREAT JOB helping us with our move from beginning to end! Jonathan Trenkle, in Sales was very thorough in discussing the various details of our move and how he would estimate the fee, he communicated clearly the details and his estimate was pretty close to the final fee, no unexpected additions. Jared, the Lead Mover was very knowledgeable and communicated clearly all the steps and details they would take to protect and move our items. He and co-workers Frankie and Febo were methodical, accurate and professional, friendly, and worked well together as a team. They even brought us a morning treat! I would use them again, and recommend them to others!"

"I had originally wanted this company to pack and move me -- it ended up that they could not actually moe me the day I needed it done. I hired another, actually more reliable set of movers (from the internet). Princess Packers packed things -- there were very fragile things I told them not to wrap -- but they did anyway -- okay. Many broken things were thrown away. Final analysis -- too expensive for a questionable outcome."

"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."

The price was great and I would definitely recommend to anyone in need of a great moving company!"

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

Yes, moving a piano often causes it to become out of tune, even if you're not moving the piano very far. One reason is that any temperature and humidity changes can affect a piano's tuning. Additionally, the bumps and jolts from a moving truck usually push a piano out of tune. 

However, don't jump right to tuning it once the piano gets to your new home. Instead, it's best to wait at least two weeks for the instrument to acclimate to its new environment. After a couple weeks, you'll get an idea of what the piano will really sound like in its new home, at which point you can call a piano technician to get it properly tuned.

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.

To prepare for moving a piano, start by documenting its current condition with photos in case of any damage during the move. Secure the piano's lid and wrap the instrument, including its keys and pedals, with bubble wrap and moving blankets for protection. Note that if you have hired professional piano movers, they may handle this step for you.

Next, prepare the space. Measure any tight spaces or doorways to ensure the piano will fit through. Clear a wide path from the piano's location to the exterior door, removing any furniture or obstacles. It is also helpful to prop open doors to make the exit easier.

On moving day, ensure the moving truck can park as close to the exit as possible. For safety, keep children and pets away from the moving area to prevent accidents or distractions.

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.

To make sure that your moving quote is fair, check current prices for hiring movers in your area. Your starting and final locations can affect the price. You should also make sure you include the cost of any specialty movers in your price estimate. Calculate your moving costs including the estimated expense of moving services and compare the figure to average costs in your area.
