"Utilizing All Service Moving for the move was a very positive experience. They had good communication, answering several questions prior to the move and did a final confirmation just prior to the move date. As for the physical move itself, Jose, Abraham, and Alberto were polite, diligent, and careful moving the many items, and managed to complete the move more quickly than anticipated."

"I highly recommend this company! Karl was very responsive to my needs to move from an apartment to a home. On moving day, his crew (Victor, David & Mike) contacted me with their arrival time, and when they got to my apartment, they quickly got to work. They were very professional and friendly and took great care with my furnishings. Give Karl a call if you need to move!!"

"Amazing job. This was the 2nd time we hired them for a local move (3,000 SF home). Experienced, professional movers who did everything for us - pack, load, deliver, and set up. They provided white glove service. I would highly recommend “An Easy Move” for any move. Available as reference."

"My experience with the movers from Coast 2 Coast Relocation was brilliant! My apartment complex had a notoriously tight elevator schedule and strict moving rules, which had me stressed out before the move. But fortunately, the movers were absolute pros – they coordinated with the building manager, handled the logistics, and completed the move well within the allotted time. Thanks to them, my move went perfectly and there were no mishaps. I absolutely recommend them!"

"My move was already a few days ago and today I got a survey that shleppers sent me to get feedback on my move. This is a great thing to do and shows me how seriously they take their business. In my case the survey was really positive. All of the movers they sent (5 men and 1 woman) seemed really experienced. They worked well together to get my furniture wrapped up and they brought tons of boxes to pack up my kitchen and garage. That was my big concern before the move--that they wouldn't have enough material for all my stuff. I donâ t think Iâ m a hoarder but I have lots of stuff. I told Jamie my salesperson that I had lots of stuff and she assured me theyâ d prepare for it and they did. Thank you to the team."

FAQs for moving projects in Palm Desert, CA

Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including: 

  • Is there anything your company won’t move? 

  • Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?

  • Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture? 

  • Are there packing restrictions?

  • Can you guarantee my delivery date?

  • Can you provide references? 

  • What do you charge extra for?

  • What is your cancellation policy?

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. 

The average cost to hire movers is between $920 and $2,530 for local moves and $2,700 to $10,000 for long-distance moves. The number of movers you need, the total mileage you’re moving, your moving date, and ease of access to your home all factor into the bottom line. 

For example, if you only need one or two movers, you can expect to pay $25 to $50 an hour. However, if you need four or more movers, that charge increases to $100 to $200 an hour. Moving specialty items, like a piano or large aquarium, will incur additional charges.

In the world of professional moving, moves are broken up into two categories—a local move and a long-distance move. A local move is anything considered under 100 miles, regardless if you’re crossing over state lines. A long-distance move is anything over 100 miles, even if you stay in the same state or location.

If you’re hiring movers to help with your move, there are a few things that you can do ahead of time to set yourself (and the moving company) up for success.

  • Donate or sell items ahead of time to lessen the amount to move

  • Alert your neighbors (or apartment management) of the move so they can plan for the moving truck to arrive

  • Pack your belongings securely ahead of your moving date

  • Disconnect any appliances prior to the moving date

  • Clear a path for the movers to move freely inside your home 

  • Dispose of hazardous materials

  • Discuss with your moving coordinator where to unload the boxes
