"The movers were on time and courteous. They were forthcoming with the moving process. They were very helpful with quickly getting my possessions from one point to another. Reggie and Lisa were great guides and answered all my questions. Mike and his crew were amazing. Very quick and careful. I have already recommended People Movers to several people. It was our second move with this company! Thanks for making a stressful situation easier."

"I hired Advanced Moving for our move and I’m very glad I did. They were courtesy and very professional throughout the process and made moving day stress free. They treated our belongings with care, wrapping all furniture, even furniture and items we didn’t think needed to be wrapped. The movers also covered the flooring with protective tarps and ensured the move was done cleanly. We were very satisfied with the quality of their work and how quickly and efficiently they get the job done! I certainly recommend Advanced Moving when you are looking for a dependable moving company."

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."

Moving questions, answered by experts

The time it takes to move your car across the country depends on where the car is going. Generally, it can take five to seven days for your car to complete the journey. If your car is moving from Maine to California or a similar distance, expect to wait the full seven days, but if your car is just going a few states over, it may only take a few days.

Tipping movers isn’t mandatory, and most professional companies won’t expect it, but it is a nice way to say “thank you” and to show your appreciation for the care they took while handling your belongings. Tipping somewhere between 10% and 20% of your total bill to split among the movers is a good amount. Tipping is an especially good idea if your movers are working in the rain, snow, or excessive temperatures, if they relocate specialty items, like pianos, or simply if they go above and beyond during the process of moving.

There are many places to get moving boxes, so it’s worthwhile to shop around and compare prices. Try big-box stores such as Walmart, as well as home improvement stores such as Lowe’s and The Home Depot. You can also try specialty places such as U-Haul or Office Depot. Finally, check online at Amazon or ask your friends or family if they have any spare moving boxes they could lend you.

Moving a house is a complex and labor-intensive process, which is why it can get so pricey, particularly if it’s a large home. In some cases, the house may need to be dismantled, moved in sections, and then reassembled at the new location, which can add significantly to the cost of the move. However, it’s typically less costly than building a new home.

You should book your moving company as far in advance as possible, at least two months or more. This is especially important if you're moving during the summer months, which are the peak moving season. This will help you save money on unexpected expenses and the stress that comes with trying to find a mover, which can be harder during certain months of the year.
