"Utilizing All Service Moving for the move was a very positive experience. They had good communication, answering several questions prior to the move and did a final confirmation just prior to the move date. As for the physical move itself, Jose, Abraham, and Alberto were polite, diligent, and careful moving the many items, and managed to complete the move more quickly than anticipated."

"Honey Bees Moving was AWESOME! Tim and his team moved our equipment perfectly. It was a tough move with lots of stairs at both ends, and a new location that isn't on GPS completely. They took care of our equipment and both locations like they were their own. I would definitely recommend Honey Bees for any move you're making!"

"The move team, J.R., Eugene and Joe, were absolutely outstanding. They were on time, professional, quick, friendly and laughed at my silly and unfunny jokes. I appreciate how they moved and placed my furniture with care and the best positioning. Moving is very stressful for my husband and me because we are seniors and both disabled. We were comfortable with putting everything in their hands. We hope to get them again if we move again."

"We used Windy City Movers for an out of state move to SW Michigan and couldn't have been more pleased. Dash, the owner, took a personal interest in estimating the move's cost, and working with us to coordinate activities. They crew they sent was professional, and did a super job packing and unpacking our belongings and furniture. They moved both our condo and a number of items in our storage locker. Not a single item was broken or damaged, something that can't be said for other movers I've worked with. The cost was very reasonable for a move this complex and significantly below cost we were quoted by other moving companies with five star reviews."

"I needed help finding a moving company with a good reputation. I came across Moving APT on websites reporting they were a highly rated moving company, so I called them. I like their procedure and how quickly they moved into getting me a quote and booking my move dates. The movers did their thing, and I had an excellent experience."

Moving FAQs, 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. 

How long it takes movers to move cross-country depends on location, travel route, weather, and the moving company's schedule. Typically, a cross-country move can take 7 to 14 days. Always check with your mover for the most accurate estimate tailored to your situation.

Yes. You’ll at least need a permit in the state you’re moving from and the state you’re moving to (if applicable). If you’re moving across multiple states, you may need a permit in each state you drive the mobile home through. Your moving company can help you obtain these permits.

Yes, you can take your potted plants with you when you move if you use sterilized potting soil. However, some states have strict guidelines about this practice, so it’s best to consult the Department of Agriculture’s regulations surrounding pest control and plant types ahead of your move.

Shipping a moving container costs around $3,000 on average, with a typical range of $2,000 to $5,000. For international moves, the price can be as high as $7,000. Costs fluctuate based on factors such as the container's size, weight, travel distance, demand, and fuel prices. To ensure you get the best deal, it is recommended to get quotes from at least three different companies.
