"I have nothing but praise for H2H movers and I would highly recommend using their services. I have done multiple moves with various moving companies over the years and H2H Movers was the best moving company I have worked with. The H2H office is very good with communication. Not only did they check in before the move, they made sure to communicate with me during and after the move to make sure everything was going smoothly. The movers were very professional and easy to work with. They quickly, efficiently, and carefully completed the move. It was a tough move considering we were moving to a 4th floor walk-up and I was worried about how difficult it would be, but all my concerns were easily alleviated."

"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!"

"Very fast service. They were able to come out with almost no notice. The service received was spot on. We were promised a flat rate, and they stuck to that. They did an inventory and made sure nothign was damaged during the move. I'm happy with the service received."

"Best moving experience I have ever had! Tim and Big T Movers were wonderful to work with, right from the start. Responsive, efficient and punctual in helping us plan for our small business move. On moving day, they arrived on time, and were friendly and professional. Got the job done perfectly and made everything easy! Will use them again in future. I recommend them to anyone for any big or small moving projects!"

For any future moves, we only want Ricardo and Lou, no one else."

Moving questions, answered by experts

The base rental cost of a truck is cheaper, on average, and they tend to offer more room than a container. However, the total cost depends on the rental period, distance, move size, storage needs, and travel costs. The main benefit of choosing moving pods is that you don’t have to drive a large truck by yourself, and they can double as storage space. Shipping containers are more efficient for long-distance moves than trucks. 

Yes, movers will usually move one item like a gas grill—but your propane tank must be empty if you want them to move it. If you still have propane, you’ll need to either transport it yourself or dispose of it properly and purchase a new one after the move.

The amount you need to save depends on the cost of living in your new home country, your visa requirements, and the cost of health care and insurance.

The size of the safe will determine the type of dolly that will work best for transporting your gun safe. You will need to ensure it is a heavy-duty appliance dolly made to move heavy items, such as appliances or pianos. Always check the weight of your safe beforehand so you can rent or buy the correct dolly that can withstand its weight.

Cross-country moves are tricky and risky for your fish, so it’s often best to move the fish separately or rehome them. If you’re attached to your animals and determined to bring them, find a friend to house them and ship them to you once the new tank is ready. You can also contact your local fish store and ask if they offer temporary housing and shipping services until you get settled. If you’re moving to another country, it’s often best to sell the tank and fish, or find a good home locally.
