"A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I'm 62 years old and have moved several times in my life, and it's never been a good experience --until now! Andres and his team are great. He actually repaired some of my furniture that had previously broken --and didn't charge me any extra for it. Stop reading this review right now and book your next move with AM & PM Moving. It will be one of the best moves you'll ever make."

"There was an additional cost to the Big Deal that I bought. The price seems reasonable for the service. I know it was tuned properly. He was a very interesting man. He literally explained to me all of the working of the piano insides. He was very knowledgeable. He did the work that was requested in a timely manner."

"We are very pleased with Best Cost Movers for their excellent service and low price. We were moving from a 2 BR condo in Geneva to a house in Hinsdale. We found Best Cost Movers from Angie's list and called Eric for appointment. He set up the moving time and also confirmed it by email. On moving day, Santos and Dan were very careful in packing and moving our furniture. They managed to avoid any scratches or dents to the condo and the house. They were very efficient in both moving and driving. We appreciate their effort in making our move a very pleasant experience."

"The salesman promised to always be available throughout the entire process. I called him once I had chosen Hollander (the other mover I considered was booked the week I needed to move) but did not reach him and did not get a call back from him. I finally called the office and ended up working with them from there on out, so the promise was rather empty. The plan for the move was for a three day pack/move/delivery due to the second stop that was needed. Just days before the move, I was asked to allow movers to pack both locations at the same time to cut down the overall time. I informed the office that I did not have a second person to watch the second location and Hollander suggested that I simply leave movers in my home to work without supervision while I went to the other location, sixty miles away, which I refused to do. It was then made into a two day move with packing and loading the larger home in one day, then packing, loading the second location and delivering on day two. I think the rush to cram things in resulted in the damage that my homes suffered as well as the issue of them not wanting to drive in Chicago traffic to get home after the delivery. Packing - I found napkins rings dropped on the floor and overlooked. The packers left tape roll hanging on the 100 year old latch of one of the stained glass windows. I have found sets of items scattered across several boxes in ways that made no sense. For example, two glasses of a six-set where in one box and others were found in boxes from other areas of the house unrelated to the kitchen. A top of the blender was in one box and the base was in another. A box spring was dragged on the floor resulting in two long and deep scratches in the second floor hallway - right where buyers looking at the home would be able to see it. In the end, they offered a payment of $350 as they reported it could not be repaired without refinishing the entire second floor hall and two adjoining rooms - so I would have to pay for the rest of the refinishing and they would contribute only for the scratch - but the refinishing would not have been needed if not for the scratches they did. No floor protection was put down at all in the first location – the driver said later that he had changed trucks and could not find any. At the second pick up, once they were done using a side door, they left it propped out allowing the summer heat to come continue to come in. They had propped another door with a door stop jammed up at the top – both of these doors were left open after they drove off and I was left to get the wedging out. At the new home (delivery) where there were pristine wood floors, they did put down floor protection on all walk ways. Unfortunately, that did not stop the movers from again dragging large items on the floors in the bed rooms which resulted in scratches to the floors in several rooms. In addition, a wall was scratched as well. They did send the repair company to address the floors at the new location and that repair was satisfactory. They did not yet send someone yet to deal with the damage to the dry wall where the paint was scratched. I was never asked to sign anything verifying any prior damage to items but was asked after the delivery to sign blank screens on a tablet and later once I got the actual print out, I saw a list of my items and their assessment of condition. The driver did take responsibility right away for the floor damage in both locations but that did not really help with the fact that it did not need to have happened at all. They each needed to simply wait/ask for help to lift and place things rather than drag on the floor."

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

Some companies offer supplies like dollies and furniture pads for an additional fee. Confirm availability when renting.

Moving straps like forearm or shoulder straps can usually support up to 800 pounds, sometimes more with specialized straps. However, that doesn’t mean that one person can always lift that much weight, just that the straps are rated for that amount. For example, some straps require two people working together to balance the weight of the heavy item.

Deciding whether it's worth it to hire movers depends on your budget, patience, and physical capabilities. It's difficult to gauge the amount of work that moving calls for, and it's easy to be off by about tenfold. 

If you're able to call in some favors and round up friends to help, you might get through it just fine, but if you only have a few hands helping, things can quickly get overwhelming. Either way, bringing in the pros will save considerable time and stress, so if it's within your budget, it's a great investment.

There are several effective ways to save money when hiring a moving company, primarily by handling some tasks yourself and being strategic with scheduling. Consider these methods:

  • Pack Your Own Belongings: You can significantly reduce costs by packing and protecting your items yourself. This includes wrapping delicate items, organizing them into boxes, and taping the boxes closed. You can use towels, clothes, and suitcases to pack belongings and protect breakables.

  • Provide Your Own Materials: Source free packing materials from friends and family, or reuse boxes and bubble wrap from a previous move.

  • Schedule Strategically: Book your move well in advance. Rates are often lower if you schedule your move on a weekday during the off-season, which typically runs from October through April.

  • Compare Quotes: Get moving quotes from at least three professional movers in your area. This allows you to compare services and choose the best value.

  • Ask for Discounts: Inquire if the moving company offers any special coupons or deals.

  • Purchase Moving Insurance: Protect your investment by purchasing moving insurance, especially for expensive or antique belongings.

  • Divide the Labor: While you can save money by packing, it's wise to leave the more dangerous and physically demanding work—like loading, unloading, and moving heavy furniture—to the professionals.

The cost to ship furniture can range from $300 to $4,500 per piece, depending on the size and weight of the item and where it’s being shipped to. For a cross-country move, which companies consider any distance over 400 miles, it will cost $300 to $800 per piece to ship furniture. For an international move, shipping will cost around $1,000 to $4,500 per piece.
