"Terrible, they came highly recommend and I was in tears by the end of the move. They were over an hour late and did not call to notify me they were running late. They got grease all over my couch and mattress to the point that they are ruined. The scratches several walls, doors, and decking. They were NOT equipped to move the safe although they told me they do it all the time. My beautiful hardwood floors have several deep scratches in them from they way they moved in the safe. Terrible experience and will never use them or recommend them. They also did not wear masks and used very foul language. Very unprofessional."

"The move couldn't have gone better. Communication was excellent, and the timing of the move went exactly as expected. The gentlemen who performed the move were friendly, professional, and very careful. Their experience was very evident. I would definitely hire Affordable Piano Movers again, should the need to move my piano comes up. A+++++"

"I was moving from a home where I had lived for 30 years. I was feeling very anxious about the whole situation, but especially selecting the right movers. Too many horror stories from friends! The day I called Silver Star and Hana answered the phone I was just minutes away from feeling relief. This company made themselves available to me to answer my many questions and to basically hold my hand through the process. Their work crew wrapped and moved my things very gently and I am so pleased. I hope I never have to go through the process of moving again, but if I do I will choose Silver Star. Thank you Silver Star."

"BLVD Moving is a fantastic moving service! They delivered my items to my new apartment in the East Loop in a timely and organized fashion! They were flexible and understanding when the movers from a previous move in the building took longer than planned. The movers themselves were friendly, fun and a joy to work with. I highly recommend BLVD Moving for anyone moving to/from the CA area!"

"Recently hired Dan and his team to move my 3 bedroom home to NYC. All incredibly professional and most importantly transparent on the cost. Walked me through every detail of the cost breakdown including the need for a shuttle service due to NYC’s narrow streets. I was honestly skeptical at first, expecting hidden fees to pop up later since my last movers did this to me, but there were none. Move itself was smooth and well coordinated. Dan’s team handled everything with care and what could have been a stressful move totally felt manageable - you should hire these guys! Thanks, Dan!"

Moving questions, answered by experts

There are some household items movers won’t pack, while there are others that are important to keep on your person during the move. Don’t pack the following items:

  • Poisonous, hazardous, flammable, or explosive items, including some cleaners, matches, alcohol, and paint

  • Perishable food items

  • Pets and plants

  • Irreplaceable items and documents, such as your passport, will, and medical records

You can’t start preparing for movers too soon. Some steps, like scheduling the movers and arranging for pet care, need to happen months ahead to fit into busy schedules, especially if you’re moving during on-season.

Several weeks ahead of the moving date, start packing lesser-used rooms and supplies. As the moving day gets closer, move your packing toward more and more essential rooms until only a few necessities are left on the day ahead of the move.

Ultimately, the best option for your cross-country move depends on your budget, timeline, and the level of convenience you want. For a speedy and hassle-free experience, you can spend a bundle on full-service movers who take care of everything from packing to transport. Budget-friendly options include container services that allow you to pack your stuff at your leisure.

A reasonable moving budget for local moves is $880 to $2,540, while you can expect long-distance moves to cost between $2,700 to $10,000, depending on distance, house size, and other cost factors. You can calculate your relocation budget by totaling the cost of your moving services, such as renting a moving truck, hiring professional movers, and packing services.

It is not difficult to drive a U-Haul truck or other rental truck, and you don’t need an additional license on top of a standard government-issued driver’s license in most cases. However, those unaccustomed to driving large vehicles may have difficulty adjusting to the maneuverability of a rental truck. Parking can also be more difficult.
