What questions should I ask a moving company?

<div>Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including: <ul><li>Is there anything your company won’t move? </li><li>Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?</li><li>Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture? </li><li>Are there packing restrictions?</li><li>Can you guarantee my delivery date?</li><li>Can you provide references? </li><li>What do you charge extra for?</li><li>What is your cancellation policy?</li></ul></div>

Do I need moving insurance?

<div><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/moving-insurance-worth-cost.htm">Moving insurance</a> helps protect your belongings from damage or loss during the moving process. This policy can help reimburse you either part of or the total amount of your belongings that become damaged during the moving process. Moving insurance has three main options: full value protection, released value protection, and third-party or separate liability coverage. Speak with your moving company to determine what is covered under each policy and their cost to determine the best fit for your needs. </div>

What is the cost of hiring movers?

<div><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-hire-movers.htm">The average cost to hire movers </a>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. </div>

What is considered a long-distance move?

<div>In the world of professional moving, moves are broken up into two categories—a local move and a long-distance move. A local move is anything considered under 100 miles, regardless if you’re crossing over state lines. A long-distance move is anything over 100 miles, even if you stay in the same state or location. </div>

How do I prepare for a move with movers?

<div>If you’re hiring movers to help with your move, there are a few things that you can do ahead of time to set yourself (and the moving company) up for success.<ul><li>Donate or sell items ahead of time to lessen the amount to move</li><li>Alert your neighbors (or apartment management) of the move so they can plan for the moving truck to arrive</li><li>Pack your belongings securely ahead of your moving date</li><li>Disconnect any appliances prior to the moving date</li><li>Clear a path for the movers to move freely inside your home </li><li>Dispose of hazardous materials</li><li>Discuss with your moving coordinator where to unload the boxes</li></ul></div>

Long Distance Moving & Storage. Household, Commercial, International, Corporate services available. Our Mission is To exceed expectations on every move. We live this day in and day out. Our service is top notch and fully efficient. Our trucks are perfectly equipped for moving with Pads, dollies, Plastic and much more. We provide Long Distance Moves across the entire country, directly from our West Coast HUBS located in AZ, CA, OR and WA. Or, we team with our partner companies to complete moves together. We are proud to provide a service that no other company offers; Dedicated Trucks. This means that your belongings are loaded on the truck and not combined with anyone else’s items (from/to west coast only). They are not transferred to other trucks or facilities in route which causes damage and loss of items (typical with van lines). We have a set loading day and unloading day. This is by far the safest way to ship. Our interstate rates are per 24ft moving van that holds up to 8,500lbs or 1400CuFt. Some customers require one truck and some require more. One truck holds the average 1800SqFt.

"I cannot say enough great things about All Service Moving—and ESPECIALLY Rico and Reyes, who were absolute lifesavers for my last-minute move. After another moving company bailed on me the day before my scheduled move, All Service swooped in and saved the day. Rico and Reyes showed up EARLY, upbeat, and ready to tackle the challenge—even with super heavy furniture that usually requires a 4-person crew. Somehow, the two of them handled everything like pros without a single scratch or ding—on the furniture or either home. What really stood out was how personable, kind, and thoughtful they were. They moved quickly and efficiently, knowing I was paying by the hour, but never once sacrificed care or quality. They were kind to my mom (who was helping me out), and so sweet to my two dogs too. If you’re planning a move, ask for Rico and Reyes by name. They went above and beyond, and I want their team to know what a fantastic job they did. They deserve every bit of recognition. 100% recommend."

"The mover Ahmad, a heavy set middle Eastern man had me make my payment via Zelle which I agreed to, he indicated that he did not receive my payment and he would not give me my furniture, he asked me to send another payment to a different company called September moving which I did. While he was unloading the truck, I contacted my bank who told me that both transactions went through, when I asked Ahmed for my duplicate payment back he said take it up with the company. Ahmad is a thief, I filed a police report, contacted the attorney General?s office in New Jersey, reported him to the FBI for bank fraud and reported him to the state of Florida who forwarded his case to the Department of transportation. Do not hire Ahmad, he is a thief and an extortionist. It?s only a matter of time before he is caught!"
