"It went great. Omar was very responsive, quick and accommodating. He also went above and beyond by helping me move a grand piano upstairs. The process was very challenging because the stair case was tight and narrow. He and his co-worker was helping him out. It took them both several hours to get it down but it all got taken care of and they never charged us any additional fees for that."

"BQ Transport moved us from CA to NY. From start to finish; the movers were professional and friendly. They were particularly helpful because our move was at short notice, but they managed to fit us in. On moving day, the team turned up on time, worked hard, and were very polite, considerate, and friendly. Everything was moved with care and positioned where we wanted. I would highly recommend."

"I had gone back and forth on choosing a moving company.  I have had bad experiences with them in the past.  So reading the reviews here I thought I would try HMS Van Lines.  I made an appointment with Mark.  Mark came out to the house and was very well dressed and professional.  I showed him all the things that needed to be moved.  The move had to go from the house to a storage facility and then to my own home west of the state.  Mark calculated everything and sent me a quote that night.  At first I thought it might be a little high but when compared with other companies it wasn't.  I even talked with the owner Keith whom assured me the move would go without an issue.
Sunday Morning.  The move was originally scheduled for 10 AM.  The movers and the truck were out front at 08:40.  I arrived at 09:15 and the move started.  It wasn't a whole house move but they had to move about 100 heavy boxes from the basement.  We offered cold drinks and the men kept on working.  They completed and we all drove out west of the state to meet them at the storage facility.  They showed up and started working immediately.  Once completed we went on to my own home.  No issues. Nothing broken or dropped.  The total move time was about 8.5 hours.  
During the move some of the boxes I had were not any good.  The movers provided extra boxes and plenty of tape to fix that.  
I would definitely hire this company again for a move.

"My move was so painless. The entire process was very smooth, considering how stressful moving can be. The workers sent to me worked fast and efficiently. All my items were handled with care (no damages). Any questions I had pre-move were answered promptly through phone calls. I am very satisfied with their service and have recommended them to all my friends who need to move."

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

Most upright pianos weigh between 500 and 1000 pounds. Other vertical pianos, which are sometimes confused with upright pianos, may be between 200 and 500 pounds. Spinet pianos weigh between 200 and 400 pounds, console pianos are 350 to 450 pounds, and studio pianos are 400 to 500 pounds.

When loading a moving truck, the general rule is to load the heaviest and largest items first to create a stable base at the front of the truck, which helps balance the weight. You can start with large furniture like sofas, beds, mattresses, and tables to form a solid foundation, or begin by placing your heaviest boxes against the truck's walls to create a base layer. After the base is set, continue loading other large items like appliances and square furniture. Lighter and smaller objects, including most of your boxes, should be loaded last. They can be packed into gaps, around, and on top of the heavier items to maximize space. Following this order makes unloading easier and helps prevent damage to your belongings.

This depends on your specific needs and budget. If you’re looking for the most cost-effective way to ship furniture, a self-moving service that provides pods may be your best option. If cost isn’t an issue and you’re more concerned with the security of your items, you may want to hire a white-glove furniture delivery company with ironclad insurance policies to help.

It's typically best to hire movers who specialize in moving pianos because moving them often requires specific equipment and finesse, especially when it comes to grand pianos. However, some standard moving companies have experienced piano movers on their team, so it never hurts to call a company and ask about their piano moving expertise.

Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including: 

  • Is there anything your company won’t move? 

  • Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?

  • Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture? 

  • Are there packing restrictions?

  • Can you guarantee my delivery date?

  • Can you provide references? 

  • What do you charge extra for?

  • What is your cancellation policy?
