"I received a same day appointment to move a refrigerator from Deltona to Orlando. Craig Connor was very helpful and upfront about pricing and provided a fair price. The guys showed up and secured the refrigerator with moving blankets and plastic wrap and quickly loaded on the truck. The delivery went well as well. My parents were very pleased with the guys' assistance in getting the old refrigerator moved to the garage and the new one installed. They even waited patiently while my mom cleaned the floor after the old refrigerator was removed. Professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Teleport Moving and Storage and will definitely use them again!"

Excellent work!"

A DIY move is cheaper than paying movers. However, hiring professional movers can save you time and stress.
Most professional movers can provide a wide range of moving-related services, and you’ll need to pick and choose which ones you want to use. Examples of common services offered include the following:
Organizing and packing your belongings
Protecting delicate items with bubble wrap or other protective equipment
Moving your belongings and furniture out of your old home
Moving your belongings into your new home within a certain distance
Professional movers take care of safely loading, transporting, and unloading all of your belongings. Many movers also offer specialty pricing for whole-house packing, furniture disassembly, relocating fragile items, and more. You’ll benefit from having a moving team take care of your move quickly and efficiently.
Yes, moving a piano often causes it to become out of tune, even if you're not moving the piano very far. One reason is that any temperature and humidity changes can affect a piano's tuning. Additionally, the bumps and jolts from a moving truck usually push a piano out of tune.
However, don't jump right to tuning it once the piano gets to your new home. Instead, it's best to wait at least two weeks for the instrument to acclimate to its new environment. After a couple weeks, you'll get an idea of what the piano will really sound like in its new home, at which point you can call a piano technician to get it properly tuned.
Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including:
Is there anything your company won’t move?
Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?
Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture?
Are there packing restrictions?
Can you guarantee my delivery date?
Can you provide references?
What do you charge extra for?
What is your cancellation policy?
