"All Service Moving was exceptional. Great customer service - easy to schedule and flexible. Royce & Frost did an AMAZING job moving all of our very heavy and fragile belongings. They handled all of our requests and items with care and worked both efficiently and quickly. They were super friendly and very customer service oriented. I can't thank them enough for the GREAT job they did. I highly recommend All Service Moving for anything moving and/or storage related. And DEFINITELY request Royce & Frost to handle your job. Thank You!"
"Highly recommend Eagle Moving & Storage. Their service was professional, on time, and everything was handled with care. The entire crew were kind, respectful, and very hard working. Moving is very stressful for many different reasons, we have moved many times in the past. Eagle Moving & Storage eliminated all the stress on moving day. Thankful!"
"This company moved my belongings from McKinney Texas to Chicago Illinois a couple of months ago. The guys packed our one bedroom apartment very professionally and quickly. I would recommend this company to my friends."
"These guys were absolutely wonderful. I feel bad I've never taken the time to sit down and give them a review everything is always so crazy when you're moving and I've moved a bunch. I couldn't do it without them. They are always on time, professional And treat my belongings with the utmost respect. I would never use another company to move. I would like to mention the reason I remembered to sit down and leave one this time. They had a gentlemen named David Roth (I even made sure to get his name). He was such a hard worker and kept everything upbeat and I don't think he ever stopped. I will be requesting him on my next move for sure. Thanks Kentuckians Moving and David Roth for such a wonderful experience."
"Definitely recommend this moving company! They arrived on time and made it work going up and down the stairs when helping us move. They were extremely efficient and made the moving process as easy for us as possible."
"Our townhouse had three levels, so there was a lot of carrying up and down stairs. The crew handled beds, dressers, a sectional, dining furniture, boxes, bikes, and several awkward garage items"
"Bob did an excellent job. The job was complicated by a decorative wood wrap of the porch. Bob was able to remove the decorative and replace with an easwy to maintain pvc 3/4 round trim piece. Bob showed up on time and completed the job on budget exceeding our expecations. I highly recommend BD Remodeling & Handyman services and will reach out to work with Bob in the future!"
Some companies offer supplies like dollies and furniture pads for an additional fee. Confirm availability when renting.
If you’re using a moving company, the best move in date typically occurs on a weekday in the middle of the month between September and April. Mid-month moves on weekdays are less popular and therefore less costly, and the weather will usually be less severe in the fall or spring. However, if staying on budget is your priority, a mid-month move on a weekday in the winter is your best bet at finding the best deal.
Apartments come with strict regulations about what pets are allowed, so check before you sign a lease. If you have a fish or reptile, wait to move them until everything is set up and you’re ready to do a special move just for them and their aquarium/terrarium.
For a dog or cat, be sure you have a carrier before the move. On moving day, it’s best to designate a “safe room” or even a crate for your pet to help them get used to the new space. Keep everything they need in the safe room, and let them explore the rest of the apartment in their own time.
To make sure that your moving quote is fair, check current prices for hiring movers in your area. Your starting and final locations can affect the price. You should also make sure you include the cost of any specialty movers in your price estimate. Calculate your moving costs including the estimated expense of moving services and compare the figure to average costs in your area.
Renting a moving truck or using a shipping container (or moving pod) are typically the cheapest ways to move long-distance. For moving a few items, a container can cost as little as $700. Renting a standard-sized moving truck averages between $1,200 and $2,100. For longer distances, moving pods can become more cost-effective, as you can ship the pod to your destination and avoid transportation costs like gas, mileage, and lodging.
