"This was the most coordinated and professional move I’ve ever experienced. Working with Jose Was great, he made sure that I was informed about every step of the move and stuck to the initial estimate. Items were securely, packed, and movers were cautious with any larger fragile items. Would not hesitate to use their services again in the future."

"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."

"Excellent. Very professional. Competitive quote. Great customer service. On time and on budget. Quality work - nothing was broken. Our moving job was a big one - large house and outbuildings moving to 2 different locations. They handled everything like pros. Free moving boxes was a great plus."

"This was a challenging move because the timetable was fluid, the starting hospital was doing substantial renovations including around the loading dock, there are numerous security barriers, the contents were transported from one to two offices and the property being moved was atypical. GJ Moving just smiled, packed it all up and moved the stuff. They were ahead of schedule and under budget at the end."

"After a non-moving experience with another moving company, I saw a Great Nation Moving truck and called them. Robert Inergi was my contact. When I told him I was supposed to be in GA yesterday, he put everything into motion. David the estimator came and quickly gave me an estimate. Then the crew showed up to pack and load the next day. Three days later all was delivered to my new house. The move took two 26 trucks. And all I had in breakage was a waste bin and the handles on my filing cabinet. Spectacular work. I highly recommend Great Nation Moving. Ask for Robert!"

"Abba showed up only a few minutes late due to traffic to start the move, but they called ahead of time to let us know. The movers were very friendly and started working immediately. They securely wrapped or boxed all furniture, mirrors, and pictures.
Only one piece of furniture was damaged: a small desk leg was broken. It was raining and the mover slipped on the truck. Abba offered to send someone out to fix it or give us the money it would cost to fix it. We took the money and fixed it ourselves. Luckily all it took was some epoxy. It wasn't a very expensive desk, so since I was able to fix the leg, my wife overlooked the incident.
I really only have 2 complaints about the experience. We were told by the estimator that we didn't have to empty our dressers as the movers would move them with the clothing in them. When the movers started working, they said the dressers would be too heavy and they would have to empty them. This cost time and packing material, neither of which are free. My second complaint is that the estimator severely underestimated the amount and cost of packing materials needed. The quote was for $94, but the final cost of materials was nearly $400. This easy even after the foreman claimed he cut me a break/didn't charge me for some of the materials. I would warn and caution anyone hiring a mover to clarify during the estimation how much packing materials will really be needed.
Bottom line, the movers were friendly and worked hard, and only damage one piece of furniture due to an accident. We would certainly recommend Abba to be considered for a move job and would ourselves consider using them again.

Moving questions, answered by experts

Although purchasing moving insurance will add to the total cost of your move, it might take a weight off your shoulders. Moving insurance covers roughly 60 cents per pound. If you’re moving several antique or fragile items, you may want to invest in moving insurance covering damage or item losses.

The average cost to hire professional movers is approximately $1,700, but the total price can range from as low as $920 to over $12,000 depending on the move's complexity. For local moves, typically under 100 miles, costs generally fall between $920 and $2,530. Long-distance moves are more expensive, with prices ranging from $2,700 to $10,000 or more.

Several key factors influence the final cost:

  • Distance and Home Size: The mileage of the move and the size of your home.

  • Number of Movers: Hourly rates can range from $25 to $50 for one or two movers, increasing to $100 to $200 for a team of four or more.

  • Services: Additional services like packing, unpacking, and storage will add to the cost.

  • Specialty Items: Moving large or delicate items such as pianos, vehicles, or large aquariums incurs extra charges.

  • Timing and Access: The time of year, your specific moving date, and the ease of access to your home can affect rates.

Don’t forget to account for other potential costs like moving supplies and tipping your movers.

The most cost-effective way to move is to DIY most of the moving tasks, including packing, driving the moving truck, and loading and unloading. While DIY moving is typically the least expensive option, it makes the process much more time-consuming and difficult. To eliminate some of the physical and time stress associated with DIY moves, consider hiring professional movers for the most essential tasks, such as loading and unloading furniture, and completing easier tasks on your own.

Most professional movers can provide a wide range of moving-related services, and you’ll need to pick and choose which ones you want to use. Examples of common services offered include the following:

  • Organizing and packing your belongings

  • Protecting delicate items with bubble wrap or other protective equipment

  • Moving your belongings and furniture out of your old home

  • Moving your belongings into your new home within a certain distance

  • Unpacking your belongings in the new location

  • Moving heavy items, like pianos

  • Moving your vehicles

  • Storage if your new home isn’t ready

To pack mugs safely for a move, start by lining the bottom of your moving box with padded material like bubble wrap. Wrap each mug individually; for a snug fit, you can tuck the ends of the bubble wrap sheet inside the mug. Place the wrapped mugs in the box, using a box with slots for extra separation if available. The key to preventing breakage is to pack the box tightly enough that the mugs cannot shift during transit. Fill any empty gaps with additional packing material. However, be careful not to pack more than 10 mugs in one box, as it can become too heavy to carry safely. Finally, be sure to label the box as “fragile” to alert movers to handle it with care.
