"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."
"I had a great moving experience. Xavier was on time, a hard worker, nice, efficient and professional. He made sure that the furniture and all of my other things were not damaged during the move. He communicates well with his customers and is a good listener. He is really efficient and he gets the job done. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an easy and stress-free moving experience. "

"G.A.M.E Inc, is a professional , top notch and out standing customer service. I recently purchased a rental property in Henderson, Nevada. My move was from Southern California to Nevada. I contacted G.A.M.E Inc and informed of my plan and my location for moving my show fully furnished warehouse and provided detail to the move from warehouse to new home purchase. G. A.M.E Inc went over and beyond. From initial quote, theyâ re follow up, invoice, details and insurance on move, date time and set up. I couldnâ t have asked for a better and secure moving company. I met with the owners and they were absolutely a great team. They took inventory, wrapped the furniture, secured the furniture with exceptional communication throughout the process. I would recommend to anyone. They are also licensed and serve military communities. Absolutely recommended!!!!"

Typically, local moves involve either renting a moving truck and moving yourself or hiring local movers to do the job. For long-distance moves, options include hiring a full-service moving company that handles packing, loading, transportation, and unloading, or using a self-moving service where you load your belongings into a container or trailer and have it transported. Another option is hiring professional movers for labor-only services, where they assist with loading and unloading your rented truck. You can also opt for moving pods or moving containers that can be transported to the destination.
Move date means the day that you are relocating your items from one space to another. If you’re renting, your move out date is usually the same as the last day of your lease, but it won’t necessarily be the same as your move-in date to another property.
Tipping movers is not mandatory, and most professional companies do not expect it. However, it is a common way to show appreciation for their hard work and the care they take with your belongings and home. A standard tip is between 10% and 20% of your total bill, split among the crew, or about $10 per mover per hour, tipped individually. It's an especially good idea to tip if the movers work in difficult weather, handle specialty items like pianos or pool tables, provide extra packing services, or go above and beyond your expectations.
Planning ahead is essential—this will give you the chance to coordinate your move during weekends or after business hours, and set up essential services in your new office before moving day to minimize downtime. Start by creating a detailed timeline and checklist for every phase of the move, from packing to unpacking. Inform your employees, clients, and vendors about the move well in advance, including any expected disruptions and how you plan to manage them. Delegate responsibilities to ensure all aspects of the move are covered. Lastly, set up the essentials at the new location first to resume operations quickly.
Yes, in almost all cases, it is worth the investment to hire professional piano movers. Pianos are not only heavy and bulky but are also often expensive and delicate instruments. Attempting to move one yourself poses a significant risk of damage to the piano, your home, and can lead to serious personal injury, especially when navigating stairs. The average cost of hiring professional movers (around $400) is typically much less than the potential cost of repairs, replacement, or medical bills that could result from an unsuccessful DIY move.
