"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!"

"Very smooth move with these movers. They gave me the lowest quotation so I went with them for the move. They disassembled and wrapped everything carefully, so nothing was scratched. They were very quick, only took a few hours to move our whole apt. The final price ended up being near the estimate so I was satisfied!"

"I had a packing crew and a moving crew. The packing crew was not careful or thorough at all! The next day I went around and found drawers and cabinets still not packed including my silverware. The moving crew was wonderful and concientous. Both at the pickup sight and when delivering"

Moving questions, answered by experts

The best way to move a 3-bedroom house long distance depends on your budget. Hiring a full-service moving company works best if you have a higher budget. If you’re on a tighter budget, renting a moving van and doing everything yourself is your best bet. Other options include renting a storage container, pod, or freight container. You can also ship your belongings if you don’t have many items. 

It’s typically not advisable to move heavy furniture by yourself. However, if you are confident that you can do it safely, there are several different tools you can use, including a hand truck, a four-wheel dolly, or an appliance dolly. If you’re moving furniture upstairs or downstairs, a hand truck is the most suitable choice. Regardless of what you choose to use, always ensure that the furniture is well-balanced and secure by using lifting straps or tie-down straps to keep it in place.

Start by removing any obstacles in the moving path, such as side tables, lamps, or other furniture. If your couch has legs, unscrew them. Measure the couch and the stairway to ensure you have enough room; if it seems unlikely, examine the shape and size of the couch and decide whether it might fit better up the stairway and through doorways on its side, held diagonally, or moved in an upright position.

Consider putting the sofa on a dolly to go up the stairs. It should be able to fit upright on a standard dolly with wheels. You’ll still need to lift the dolly—with the couch on it—up the stairs, but it will reduce the physical strain. The person holding the dolly should pull the couch up, while the helper should be on the other side, keeping the couch secure and steady.

If you don’t have a dolly, the person in front should lift the couch slightly higher than the person in the back to create more stability. The person in the back should also be the stronger mover, as most of the weight will be distributed there.

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.

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.
