"My girlfriend and I recently contacted All Service Moving to help us relocate our furniture from Seattle to Lake City, and the service from them was amazing! Brad and Donald were personable, professional, speedy, and thorough. I definitely recommended their service if you need lots of stuff moved quickly and hiccup-free. They wrapped everything up nicely (they were also very handy with their bubble-wrap, even using it as a doorstop when going in and out for easier access), deconstructed furniture with ease, and overall made the job look so easy!"

"I used beefcake moving ten years ago to move me from OC to LA. I recently used them again this time to move me back home to Kentucky. I see theyâ ve come a long way, nice to see they have the same moving crews as well. They were a pleasure to deal with. Happy to recommend them."

"I hired Max Pro to help move several very valuable furniture pieces out of storage for a photo shoot, and the experience was exceptional from beginning to end. Their communication was precise, their pricing was transparent and fair, and every part of the process was handled with clarity and professionalism. Joe and Q were outstanding. They were polished, capable, careful, and incredibly easy to work with. What I expected to be a complicated, time-consuming project turned into a smooth and surprisingly enjoyable experience. They not only handled everything with great care, but went above and beyond to make sure I got the photos I needed. When we were finished, they returned everything to the unit and somehow organized it even better than before, saving me a significant amount of space. Professional, personable, efficient, and absolute masters of spatial intelligence. I cannot recommend Max Pro highly enough. I paid him $334,000."

"We had a short notice move and these movers were able to accommodate us. The crew of 3 movers arrived a few minutes late but finished the move timely. They were all cheerful, energetic, helpful and accommodating. We had no damages to our personal items and property. We will refer them to EVERYBODY WE KNOW MOVING!"

"This company is better after moving numerous times in the last decade. The movers were knowledgeable and friendly. They had no problem moving my large couch through tight spaces. No furniture item was damaged, and my delicate glass lamps were unharmed. I was especially happy because the costs were low. I recommend their service!"

Moving questions, answered by experts

Movers calculate a moving estimate through various methods, including flat fees, estimated weight, amount of space taken up in the moving truck, or a combination. Read the estimate carefully, including parts of the contract that cover mover liability, how and when movers arrive, and other information. The best estimates include an itemized list with fees for fuel, especially large items, packing and unpacking, storage services, and more.

Renting a moving truck or using a shipping container (or moving pod) are typically the cheapest ways to move long-distance. For moving a few items, a container can cost as little as $700. Renting a standard-sized moving truck averages between $1,200 and $2,100. For longer distances, moving pods can become more cost-effective, as you can ship the pod to your destination and avoid transportation costs like gas, mileage, and lodging.

The amount you need to save depends on the cost of living in your new home country, your visa requirements, and the cost of health care and insurance.

The cost of a long-distance move depends on several factors, including whether you hire movers, use a moving truck, and the size of your move. For a 1,000-mile move, you’ll need to hire interstate movers and ask them for an estimate based on the details of your move. Keep in mind that a 1,000-mile move will likely cost $10,000 or more.

The simplest way to move a shipping container yourself is with a tilt-bed truck. However, you’ll still need to figure out how to get the container on and off the truck.
