"Hey guys! Long time no see! Iâ m happy I found your company years ago, and my last move with you was about 5-6 years ago. Iâ m glad to be back! Everything was great and smooth as usual. I was especially happy to see Alex as the foremanâ he helped me with my first move as well. This time, I was moving out of a 2-bedroom place in Calabasas and am now excited to start my life in OC, Irvine. Everything went smoothly, and I want to thank you for the great service as always. Highly recommend!"

"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."

"Everything went just as stated when I agreed to this move. On time, quick and careful. Both movers were professional and friendly. Placed piano in exact location I wanted at destination. All for a quite reasonable cost, nearly half of another quote I got."

Customers say: Super punctual

"The pickup and load-in was perfect. I used Let's Move It for a local move previously and their local crew did a fast, efficient, and professional job, getting everything in the truck in under an hour really. The delivery and load-out was a little more problematic. I think mostly it was because it was just one guy in an 18-wheeler. He did call to say he'd be later than planned (about 7 PM) and the the 1st load-out facility closes by 9 PM. He chooses to back into the gate at the storage facility. I open the gate but then realize I have to be his spotter since he doesn't have a colleague but I have no way to communicate to him that there's a time limit on the opening and he hits the gate, knocks it off track and bends the gate a bit. I lift the gate back on the track and it's still functional, but the office people come out and they're ****** at me because they just had the gate fixed. Now I'm a "bad" client in their eyes. After that, he's rushing himself in a big hurry and even dropped a couple of boxes. The original supervisor I spoke to said the delivery crew would help me organize things in the storage facility, but this service was not offered and it was apparent to me this was not a guy I would trust to organize anything. We then went to the residence where there were about 20 items to be delivered. Because he has too big a truck he tells me it'll have cost extra to get things beyond 75 feet and that there's an extra cost for being on the 2nd floor requiring stairs. I'm sure these provisions are in the contract language, but I feel pressured since I didn't know they'd send a truck that would require extra costs--so we agree he'll take things only as far as the contract dictates and I just carry everything myself the rest of the way. My advice to LMI is that they need to monitor and quality control their long-distance subcontractors a little better, because that guy was definitely NOT up to their local moving standards--as I think of it, he's the kind of budget mover you'd expect when you hire "just a guy with a truck" and you'd expect it to be a lot cheaper since it's less quality. So A+ for 50%, but C for the other guy (for basically getting it done). Everything got here safely and intact, I'm not quibbling with the price with the price at this point (I didn't really shop it around that much since my 1st experience with them was great). And I suppose I got a LOT of exercise that night in the Las Vegas heat so that probably helped me build character., eh?"

Moving questions, answered by experts

Movers are very skilled in everything having to do with the moving process. From knowing which supplies and materials to use for certain items, to packing, to knowing how to efficiently load a truck, they have experience doing it all. And professional movers often do it all faster and more efficiently than a typical homeowner could.

Traveling with your automobile over short distances when moving is typically less expensive than shipping it with a transport company. However, consumers start to break even at around 500 miles. It's typically less costly and worth shipping your car with a professional transport company if the distance you're going exceeds 500 miles.

Depending on the type of expense, it is possible to deduct moving costs on your taxes. For example, you can deduct for packing, crating, insurance, in-transit storage, and using a trailer. However, you cannot deduct expenses such as moving furniture, security deposits, and home buying and selling expenses.

Moving across state lines is a similar process to moving within a state. Packing, loading, and unloading of trucks will follow the same process. The primary difference is during transportation, where your belongings may be loaded onto a dedicated moving truck or combined with other shipments, depending on the distance. Your moving company will offer tracking and ongoing communication of your boxes.   

Moving straps like forearm or shoulder straps can usually support up to 800 pounds, sometimes more with specialized straps. However, that doesn’t mean that one person can always lift that much weight, just that the straps are rated for that amount. For example, some straps require two people working together to balance the weight of the heavy item.
