Q: How do you hire a reliable moving company?

• <div><p>Choosing a reliable moving company is critical because you&rsquo;re entrusting all of your belongings to the professional movers, so you&rsquo;ll want to make sure you consider the following:</p><ul><li><p>The experience of the movers and the number of years in the industry</p></li><li><p>The add-on services provided, like packing and storage</p></li><li><p>The warranty or insurance coverage to protect your belongings </p></li></ul><p>We also recommend confirming that the movers are properly licensed using Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a>.

Q: Can a pool table be moved without taking it apart?

• <div><p>You can move a pool table without taking it apart only if you&rsquo;re moving it a short distance, like from one room to another, and with the help of several people or a professional moving company. But if you&rsquo;re moving the pool table from one home to another, experts strongly advise you not to move it without taking it apart. If you leave it in one piece, you could risk not only your own personal safety, but also risk damage to the pool table itself. The bumpers could need to be realigned and the slate may have to be re-leveled if you try to move a pool table without taking it apart. In this case, the risk usually doesn&rsquo;t outweigh the reward. </p></div>

Q: How do I ship furniture to another state?

• <div><p>There are generally three ways to ship furniture to another state: hiring professional movers, using consolidated freight, or through parcel shipping. Professional movers will generally pack your boxes in a truck and transport them to a storage facility or directly to your home. </p><p>A consolidated freight service will pack, load, and ship your items, but this is best to use for one or two pieces since your items will take longer to be delivered and will share truck space with other items. Parcel shipping such as UPS and FedEx is best for smaller items since there are size limits, and you&rsquo;ll have to drop the boxes off at a local branch.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to rent a moving truck one-way or round-trip?

• <div><p>For a long trip, it is less expensive to schedule a one-way rental since you're driving fewer miles. Plus, it's usually not feasible to move across the country and then drive the vehicle back to where you got it. However, a round-trip option makes more sense if you're moving in town.</p></div>

Q: Can you pack plants in a moving truck?

• <div><p>When booking a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-moving-truck.htm">moving truck</a>, be sure to consult the company guidelines to determine whether they allow plants to ride in the moving vehicle. However, if you&rsquo;re making a long-distance move, you should transport your plants in a temperature-controlled environment, which may rule out a moving truck. If you can put your plants in the moving truck, consider stacking them in the farthest corner to avoid extreme temperatures.</p></div>

Hired for a one-time clean during a move-out, and she just straight ghosted us. Didn't show up, stopped responding to texts and calls. Left us in a jam. ?

"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.

Moving questions, answered by experts

Choosing a reliable moving company is critical because you’re entrusting all of your belongings to the professional movers, so you’ll want to make sure you consider the following:

The experience of the movers and the number of years in the industry
The add-on services provided, like packing and storage
The warranty or insurance coverage to protect your belongings

We also recommend confirming that the movers are properly licensed using Angi’s state licensing tool. You can check for certification from organizations like the American Moving and Storage Association.

You can move a pool table without taking it apart only if you’re moving it a short distance, like from one room to another, and with the help of several people or a professional moving company. But if you’re moving the pool table from one home to another, experts strongly advise you not to move it without taking it apart. If you leave it in one piece, you could risk not only your own personal safety, but also risk damage to the pool table itself. The bumpers could need to be realigned and the slate may have to be re-leveled if you try to move a pool table without taking it apart. In this case, the risk usually doesn’t outweigh the reward.
