"Baltic movers were excellent. On time, professional and friendly. Did the job perfectly. Moved my upright piano and some other home stuff very well. Would hire them back"
"The team (Mike is the only name I remember) Was extremely prompt, polite, courteous and professional. Both teamworkers were very outgoing and pleasant taking care of our items as though they were there own. Each item of furniture was wrapped carefully in saran wrap to protect from dust, dirt, and damage. They were very quick to finish the job, delivering and setting up everything as asked. I would definitely use this company again and would recommend them to anybody needing a proficient moving team. "
"The movers Christian, Sergei, Devon were exceptionally awesome. They were were very caring, considerate and helpful. I would request that they move me anytime."
"Excellent! We used Ready2Move after I purchased a gently used piano from Naples to Fort Myers. They arrived on time, used care & were organized & experienced."
"BEST move ever!! The communication prior to the move was superb and the two movers were amazing!! They worked so quickly and had such a positive "can do" attitude!! Very professional!! No need to look any further . . . THIS is the moving company you need!"
"Would absolutely recommend them, very professional and careful... definitely know what they are doing. They moved my spinet player piano ... was tall and very heavy. Best company for this type of move. I will always use them when I have any furniture to move."
"The 3-person team to move our 3-bedroom house was on time and exceptionally efficient. I've had a horrible experience with a previous moving company (our first time using a moving company) making me very hesitant about the professionalism in the industry but this company has changed my views. I highly recommend Teleport Moving and Storage and will use them again if needed."
"Angel Movers were excellent from the first phone call through complete move. Rick was quite flexible in working with my schedule for pickup and delivery. The moving team (Moses, John, and Ferris) were very professional and pleasant to work with. They did a great job handling all out bulking furniture including a piano. Great company. Great team. Excellent work!"
"Without hesitation, I highly recommend Woody & Sons Moving. Definitely the BEST MOVERS we've ever used! The guys showed up on time and worked very hard all day. Amazingly, they took the stress out of the move with their teamwork, pleasant smiles, and reassuring demeanor. They made the whole day a breeze!"
"The company was very responsive, pickup/delivery was late but they kept you updated on the status of your movers, which was awesome. The move process went very smooth, Kevin and Quaron were complete professionals,respectful, and courteous. They treated our belongings as if they were their own. They were knowledgeable and maneuvered huge furniture in confine places with ease, and WITHOUT a scratch. Moving can be very stressful , however thanks to JoChas Moving (the entire team) I was STRESS-FREE. I will definitely recommend JoChas Moving to friends and family. I Highly recommend them."
Movers know the best way to pack different items to protect them during a move and make the most of the space in a moving truck. You can pack your belongings to save money, but there’s a higher risk of damage.
There are different types of moving companies, and you’ll want to look for one that has experience moving houses. Ask them how many houses they’ve moved, how long they’ve been in business, whether they coordinate all of the labor, permits, and subcontractors needed, and what their liability is for any damages incurred.
No, not tipping movers isn’t considered rude. Tipping is optional, not expected. There are plenty of alternative ways to show your appreciation without tipping.
Some companies offer supplies like dollies and furniture pads for an additional fee. Confirm availability when renting.
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.
