"I have used Bargain Movers for two whole house moves prior to this, I didn’t even call around for other quotes this time, that should tell you everything you need to know! This time we needed to consolidate all furniture from main level of our house into basement/garage during floor work and renovations. Martina in the office was friendly, responsive and flexible with our rescheduling needs and clear about pricing/logistics. Javier and Joel were very professional and hard working both visits. They were efficient and careful disassembling/reassembling furniture, padding/wrapping/protecting and fitting everything where it needed to go."

"What an amazing movie experience. First, it was the cheapest option available and they weren’t pushy about me signing the day I got the quote (unlike other places). They were so accommodating, because my pickup/delivery dates kept changing. They answer pretty much 24/7. The actual moving experience was efficient and well done. The movers were professional and nice. I had two pickup locations at zero extra charge. This was worth every penny and more! They should be rated #1 in the USA, thank you!"

Metropolitan Moving is owned by two native Washingtonians. Our experienced staff takes pride in handling every move with the highest level of care and service. We assign a moving consultant for each customer who will provide a written estimate, discuss and clarify the details of the estimate, address any questions you may have regarding the move, and provide support throughout the process. Additional phone - (703) 837-0091. Additional email - [email protected]. Additional contact name - Justin McCarty (General Manager).

"I had a really great experience with Metropolitan Moving & Storage. Kathleen answered all my questions ahead of time and I felt very well prepared for my move. The movers were very fast and professional—they were probably only in my old place for an hour and my new place for an hour too, and that was with packing. They fit their truck in the parking spot even though a car was in my permitted area. They also kindly moved an outdoor couch that was already in the new place to a different spot. The amount I paid was much less than I was quoted, I think because I'd done a good amount of work beforehand, but that was a pleasant surprise. Nothing was damaged or missing. Highly recommend Metropolitan Moving!"

"I can’t recommend BoxStar Movers enough! From the moment I reached out for a quote to the final box being unloaded, the entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. We moved from a condo in downtown Bethesda to a single-family home nearby, and the team arrived right on time, in uniform, and ready to work. They carefully wrapped all our furniture, used protective padding on doors and walls, and even disassembled and reassembled a few tricky pieces without hesitation. What really stood out was how respectful and efficient the crew was—friendly, fast, and super careful with our fragile items. Not a single scratch or ding. They also kept us informed throughout the entire move and didn’t surprise us with any hidden fees. We’ve used other movers in the past, but BoxStar is on another level. The communication was clear, the pricing was fair, and the service was white-glove all the way. If you’re in Bethesda and need a moving company you can actually trust, go with BoxStar. They’re the real deal."

Finding a reputable and reliable Md moving company is the first step to a stress free moving experience. There are many moving companies in Maryland, so finding the moving company that best meets all your requirements is the key to a successful move. To take the challenge out of trawling through all the Maryland moving companies, we suggest you stick right here with us - leading movers in Maryland - for a level of service you would expect from the experts. 10% off for Angie's List Customers - Cost is determined by the job. Nationwide available. 2011, 2012 and 2013 SuperService Award winning. Please call us at 410-536-0914. Additional DBA - Movers USA. Additional website - www.bestmoversmd.com.

"I used Movers USA at the beginning of this year to move my 10’ X 15’ storage unit from NE Balt. City to an apartment in Asheville, NC. Prior to my selecting this company, I checked out 6 or 7 other companies also listed on Angi, and along with Movers, seriously interviewed and went over to another company and met with them in person. I dealt with Movers’ owner Sharon Nahoom a number of times through email and in a couple of calls. In addition, I went over to his office located in the very large company storage facility in Jessup. I was impressed with this storeroom being well organized and its’ sheer size and the size and cleanliness of a truck he showed me. In addition, Sharon was friendly and overall fairly accommodating. Mr. Nahoom was the only one honest and clear with me, that as I personal had packed everything, and even though most boxes were clearly labeled, no insurance carrier would insure them as they had not been professionally packed. This honesty saved me at least $300 to $500 on needless insurance. In addition, Sharon was flexible with me on matching some terms that the other company I was serious dealing with offered—-no charge for an extra day of storing my items in the truck, extra steps to the apt, and on pick-up and delivery dates. He was also reasonable with his price—-being on the lower end of the scale from the 7-8 companies I had quotes from. The cheapest by far, was a company located in Washington state that used contracted movers—-but I didn’t want to take a chance with this The pick-up went smoothly, starting on time, and with the foreman—-Fernando, and four younger movers emptying my storage unit into their truck in a couple of hours. Two days later in Asheville, Fernando showed with a lady helper—-but no-one else. He managed to do the bulk of the moving himself up 30 steps—-as the apt was on the third floor. A number of times I had to assist him from his unloading the top couple of boxes—-as he would just carry them up on his back with a large canvas strap! If I had not helped some with some boxes would have fell to the floor. He stated he was in ‘a rush’ as he wanted to get back through the mountains down her before the forecasted storm early that afternoon. Things were rushed as fair as quick decisions by me which room specific boxes and items were put—-as we were dealing with the realities of one mover in a rush, with nice woman periodically bringing up a few more things up. Overall the move went smoothly, but I have concerns that just having one man with some extra help was “putting almost all the eggs in one basket”—-if he had gotten hurt, plus he had done all the 8 plus hour drive here, and was doing the same on the way back. Only thing broke was a worthless drinking glass that I had poorly packed. As I had about 280 boxes I wanted to open them all and see that there was no damaged items. I had taken some items to my sisters in Montgomery Co and then took down most this when I headed south a few days after the storage unit move, and given a number things to Goodwill —-so not sure about a couple of things I thought I still had. Overall I would have given this company somewhere around a “B+” grade but as there are no ‘pluses’ or ‘minuses’ that is why I gave Movers 4 stars rather than the 5."

Moving questions, answered by experts

The key is to load the heaviest and largest items first, including mattresses, bed frames, large couches, dining room tables, chairs, and more. You want to pack the majority of the heavy items into the deepest part of the moving truck to balance the weight of your belongings. Consider loading lighter and smaller objects and boxes last.

It’s vital to transport a gun safe upright. This type of safe is designed to remain upright, and laying it on its back or sides can potentially damage the safe. That’s why it’s essential to ensure you have a moving truck or trailer that can withstand the weight and is high enough to transport it safely.

The level of difficulty for this type of move depends on the size of the safe. However, even a small gun safe can weigh several hundred pounds. Since gun safes are large and bulky, they are typically difficult to move and transport unless you have the right equipment and plenty of professional help.

The average cost to hire movers is between $920 and $2,530 for local moves and $2,700 to $10,000 for long-distance moves. The number of movers you need, the total mileage you’re moving, your moving date, and ease of access to your home all factor into the bottom line. 

For example, if you only need one or two movers, you can expect to pay $25 to $50 an hour. However, if you need four or more movers, that charge increases to $100 to $200 an hour. Moving specialty items, like a piano or large aquarium, will incur additional charges.

Generally, you should avoid using your car as a storage space if you’re using a shipping company.Your items could get lost or damaged during transport, and most shipping companies won’t cover the cost of damage.
