"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."

"The moving crew showed up on time, with enough people to complete the work. They also had two trucks to make sure there was room for everything that had to be moved. They took the time for wrap all of my furniture before placing it into their trucks. None of my belonging were damaged during the moving process. I was very happy with the service and responsiveness from Handle With Care Moving. If I have to move again I will use this company."

Moving questions, answered by experts

Moving pods are most often available in three sizes: 8, 12, and 16 feet. To move a four-bedroom house, you’ll likely need two 16-foot moving pods. Of course, the exact answer depends more on your house’s square footage and the amount of belongings you have than on the number of bedrooms in the house. For example, moving a small four-bedroom house may only require one 16-foot pod and one 8-foot pod, but moving a large four-bedroom house may require more than two 16-foot pods.

Using moving pods is generally cheaper than hiring a full-service moving company, primarily because you handle the packing and loading yourself, which eliminates labor costs. The cost savings are most significant for long-distance or cross-country moves; for local moves, hiring a moving company might be the more economical option. Renting and shipping moving pods can cost between $2,000 and $5,000, depending on factors like distance, the number of containers, and the weight of your items. Some services also charge a monthly rental fee of $75 to $200. In comparison, hiring a professional moving company for a long-distance move typically costs between $2,700 and $10,000.

When booking a moving truck, be sure to consult the company guidelines to determine whether they allow plants to ride in the moving vehicle. However, if you’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.

On average, it takes 4 to 6 hours to move a pool table, depending on factors like its size and weight and the distance it needs to travel. For larger pool tables or those with a ball return system, the time can take closer to 6 to 8 hours due to the complex disassembly and reassembly.

Deciding whether it's worth it to hire movers depends on your budget, patience, and physical capabilities. It's difficult to gauge the amount of work that moving calls for, and it's easy to be off by about tenfold. 

If you're able to call in some favors and round up friends to help, you might get through it just fine, but if you only have a few hands helping, things can quickly get overwhelming. Either way, bringing in the pros will save considerable time and stress, so if it's within your budget, it's a great investment.
