Long Distance Moving - All Service Moving
Long Distance Moving - All Service Moving
Long Distance Moving & Storage. Household, Commercial, International, Corporate services available. Our Mission is To exceed expectations on every move. We live this day in and day out. Our service is top notch and fully efficient. Our trucks are perfectly equipped for moving with Pads, dollies, Plastic and much more. We provide Long Distance Moves across the entire country, directly from our West Coast HUBS located in AZ, CA, OR and WA. Or, we team with our partner companies to complete moves together. We are proud to provide a service that no other company offers; Dedicated Trucks. This means that your belongings are loaded on the truck and not combined with anyone else’s items (from/to west coast only). They are not transferred to other trucks or facilities in route which causes damage and loss of items (typical with van lines). We have a set loading day and unloading day. This is by far the safest way to ship. Our interstate rates are per 24ft moving van that holds up to 8,500lbs or 1400CuFt. Some customers require one truck and some require more. One truck holds the average 1800SqFt.
"I cannot say enough great things about All Service Moving—and ESPECIALLY Rico and Reyes, who were absolute lifesavers for my last-minute move. After another moving company bailed on me the day before my scheduled move, All Service swooped in and saved the day. Rico and Reyes showed up EARLY, upbeat, and ready to tackle the challenge—even with super heavy furniture that usually requires a 4-person crew. Somehow, the two of them handled everything like pros without a single scratch or ding—on the furniture or either home. What really stood out was how personable, kind, and thoughtful they were. They moved quickly and efficiently, knowing I was paying by the hour, but never once sacrificed care or quality. They were kind to my mom (who was helping me out), and so sweet to my two dogs too. If you’re planning a move, ask for Rico and Reyes by name. They went above and beyond, and I want their team to know what a fantastic job they did. They deserve every bit of recognition. 100% recommend."

Advanced Moving & Storage, Inc.
Advanced Moving & Storage, Inc.
Professional Moving Services, family owned and operated. Local Moving, Long Distance Moving, Professional packing services, crating services. Indoor climate controlled storage, long term or short term. Piano Moving, Safe Moving. Residential and commercial relocation. We are the industries leader in relocation services.
"The move started out good, in my opinion. The team of three workers packed very quickly all of my household items. I was pleased with the speed of getting my belongings packed. I arrived at my new location about 10 to 15 minutes before they arrived. I waited until they arrived and showed them how to get to the rear of the apartment building. I went upstairs to my apartment to unlock the door so they could begin bringing in the bags and boxes. I am alone. I don't have no friend or family member to assist me with supervising the team. One of the workers, Miguel, showed me my small antique lamp that got damaged. I said okay. He apologized for the damage. Later during the move I was told by Donna that my credit card could not be accepted for the Overtime charge of $123.27. Donna told me I must pay cash for the overtime charge which is not my fault. So once again, I left the workers alone with my belongings and went out to get the cash for the overtime and the $75 dollar tip for each worker. I spent an additional $348.27 with this company. $123.27 overtime plus $225.00 tips. After the workers left I felt that something was not right with the move. Later that evening I worked very hard opening the bags and boxes. To my dismay I discovered kitchen items, electronics, clothing, my expensive binoculars, glassware, baking pans, cellphone equipment gone missing. I came to the conclusion that Advanced Moving and Storage Inc is not a quality moving company. During my telephone conversations with Donna and the Owner I told them that I regretted hiring your company and I would never do business with you again. I am seeking a refund of the $889.00 for the Unpacking Service that I cancelled on Thursday May 29, 2025. Would also like to receive a full or 50 percent refund of the entire expenditures totalling $1755.78 (Visa) + $889.00 (Visa) + $123.27 (Cash) + $225.00 (Cash) Equals $2,993.05"

We'd be honored to be a part of your next chapter!
"Many of our boxes arrived in deeply damaged condition, with many of the worst boxes being those labeled as "fragile", as well as a few of our furniture pieces being delivered were damaged and broken SEE ATTACHED PICTURES. The most concerning of these incidents is the delivery of one of our boxes nearly completely ripped open, appearing to have been rummaged through. Our delivery driver showed up over an hour beyond our communicated window of 12pm-8pm, arriving at 9:15pm on a Sunday night which caused strain with our landlord and community as there are residential quiet hours. He also did not communicate this delay until around 7:45 pm. During the initial pick up, the crew lost the key to the service elevator for my apartment building and offered to cover $50 of the replacement fee but insisted if it cost anymore, it would be on me to cover this fee.

Reliable Movers, LLC
Reliable Movers, LLC
We started this moving company because we were tired of watching owners who only cared about getting paid. They taught us how NOT to run a business. We pride ourselves with excellent service, courteousness, and professionalism. You ask, we deliver. Literally! We are owner operated and put our word and reputation on the line to earn your business. Jobs starting around $550.
"Helped me move two 15 foot truckloads into a 3rd floor apartment. Took them maybe three total hours, after it took me a good part of two days to unload a first 15 foot truckload mostly by myself. And the price was about 1/2 of what others were quoting me! Also, scheduling was easy. Same day service. In fact, they came less than two hours after I called. Thanks!! If I could give 6 stars I would."

Direct Movers LLC
Direct Movers LLC
At Direct Movers LLC, we provide professional long-distance and out-of-state moving services with a focus on direct delivery. Because every move is transported on its own dedicated truck, without combining shipments, our customers receive faster delivery times and greater protection of their belongings. For 1-2 bedroom moves, our direct-delivery model is most efficient within 300 miles. Shipping a smaller load across very long distances (such as to California) becomes significantly more expensive due to the dedicated truck required for direct service. For 3-4 bedroom moves, we can accommodate longer distances up to 1,200 miles. On these larger moves, customers benefit from our expedited delivery window of 48-72 hours, even for extended trips, we do not transfer or store items along the way. We specialize in long distance more to Texas, Florida, California, and New York We do not service moves to Washington, Oregon, Vermont, Nevada, or Arizona. The furthest we will travel is New York.
"Tom and his team did an incredible job with my move. They were professional, responsive and treated my possessions with the utmost care. I would recommend them to anyone, regardless of the size of your move. You will not go wrong with them."

**PLEASE CLICK OUR SHOP BUTTON!!** ALL OF OUR DEALS ARE ALL INCLUSIVE WITH SHRINK WRAP, TAPE AND WARDROBE SERVICE!! When we started out, we wanted to streamline the moving process for clients in the Chicagoland area. We felt that the current local industry was inundated with way too many fees and charges and that customers came away feeling like they were being "nickel and dimed" for everything. What we found was that by building everything into a full service, simple quote system, with no additional fees, customers overwhelmingly responded with an unanimous thumbs up. Simple and stress free, easy to understand and easily meeting expectations. This has become our thumbprint. You will LOVE the way we move!
"Blankenship movers were on time. They were very professional, friendly and courteous, careful as well as efficient with time. Everything was handled and packed with care. I would hire them again."
