"All Service Moving was exceptional. Great customer service - easy to schedule and flexible. Royce & Frost did an AMAZING job moving all of our very heavy and fragile belongings. They handled all of our requests and items with care and worked both efficiently and quickly. They were super friendly and very customer service oriented. I can't thank them enough for the GREAT job they did. I highly recommend All Service Moving for anything moving and/or storage related. And DEFINITELY request Royce & Frost to handle your job. Thank You!"

"Great! Karl and team had moved us 5 years prior and a family member 2 years ago. He is always timely in responding, offers a great price, confirms before arriving, arrives as scheduled, and his team does a fabulous job. If you need movers that are honest, reliable, and competent, then contact Karl."

"Nationwide made my moving experience easy. This is my third time moving cross country. The other two times prior were a disaster. Nationwide Moving really came through. Handle my belongings with care. Very polite crew and stood by their estimate and did not increase my move. I highly recommend."

"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 moved from Canada to the U.S. as a family, and at first it felt like a lot to take on. The process moved forward steadily, our things were handled carefully, and nothing went missing or got damaged. Everything arrived in Denver when expected. For a move of this size and distance, it stayed manageable and didn?t turn into the chaos we were worried about."

"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!"

Moving questions, answered by experts

Moving pods are most often available in three sizes: 8, 12, and 16 feet. To move a four-bedroom house, you’ll likely need two 16-foot moving pods. Of course, the exact answer depends more on your house’s square footage and the amount of belongings you have than on the number of bedrooms in the house. For example, moving a small four-bedroom house may only require one 16-foot pod and one 8-foot pod, but moving a large four-bedroom house may require more than two 16-foot pods.

To transport a bed frame, disassemble it as much as needed and then wrap it with moving blankets or bubble wrap to prevent damage. If you’re transporting the frame in your vehicle, check to ensure it’ll fit before you start. If not, you might need to rent a moving truck or hire professional movers to transport your bed frame to its new home.

The time it takes to move your car across the country depends on where the car is going. Generally, it can take five to seven days for your car to complete the journey. If your car is moving from Maine to California or a similar distance, expect to wait the full seven days, but if your car is just going a few states over, it may only take a few days.

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.

The level of difficulty for this type of move depends on the size of the safe. However, even a small gun safe can weigh several hundred pounds. Since gun safes are large and bulky, they are typically difficult to move and transport unless you have the right equipment and plenty of professional help.
