"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!!!!"

It’s rare to rent moving straps alone. Typically, you buy them outright. However, if you rent moving equipment, like loading tools or a furniture dolly, from a local or big-box business, they may come with moving straps for you to use.
No, homeowners insurance does not typically cover moving expenses. Homeowners insurance provides coverage and pay-outs if you experience damage to the home you currently live in. You’ll need to save separately for moving expenses like hiring movers, renting a tow truck, or shipping your belongings.
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.
There are several effective ways to save money when hiring a moving company, primarily by handling some tasks yourself and being strategic with scheduling. Consider these methods:
Pack Your Own Belongings: You can significantly reduce costs by packing and protecting your items yourself. This includes wrapping delicate items, organizing them into boxes, and taping the boxes closed. You can use towels, clothes, and suitcases to pack belongings and protect breakables.
Provide Your Own Materials: Source free packing materials from friends and family, or reuse boxes and bubble wrap from a previous move.
Schedule Strategically: Book your move well in advance. Rates are often lower if you schedule your move on a weekday during the off-season, which typically runs from October through April.
Compare Quotes: Get moving quotes from at least three professional movers in your area. This allows you to compare services and choose the best value.
Ask for Discounts: Inquire if the moving company offers any special coupons or deals.
Purchase Moving Insurance: Protect your investment by purchasing moving insurance, especially for expensive or antique belongings.
Divide the Labor: While you can save money by packing, it's wise to leave the more dangerous and physically demanding work—like loading, unloading, and moving heavy furniture—to the professionals.
