Q: When should I start preparing for movers?

• <div><p>You can&rsquo;t start preparing for movers too soon. Some steps, like scheduling the movers and arranging for pet care, need to happen months ahead to fit into busy schedules, especially if you&rsquo;re moving during on-season. </p><p>Several weeks ahead of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-things-consider-when-planning-your-moving-date.htm">moving date</a>, start packing lesser-used rooms and supplies. As the moving day gets closer, move your packing toward more and more essential rooms until only a few necessities are left on the day ahead of the move.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to hire movers for a full-service move?

• <div><p>The cost to hire movers for a full-service move is at least $2,300. This typically includes packing and unpacking, loading and unloading, transportation, furniture assembly, and furniture disassembly.</p><p>Costs will vary based on the number of items you have, with additional surcharges for heavy and valuable items. If you&rsquo;re interested in this service, get multiple quotes from different moving services to find the best deal.</p></div>

Q: Should you tip movers?

• <div><p>Tipping movers is not mandatory, and most professional companies do not expect it. However, it is a common way to show appreciation for their hard work and the care they take with your belongings and home. A standard tip is between 10% and 20% of your total bill, split among the crew, or about $10 per mover per hour, tipped individually. It's an especially good idea to tip if the movers work in difficult weather, handle specialty items like pianos or pool tables, provide extra packing services, or go above and beyond your expectations.</p></div>

Q: Can you move a fish tank with gravel in it?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible, but it&rsquo;s important to be extremely careful, and always remove rocks and heavier hardscape items. Drain all the water from the tank, leaving just enough to keep the gravel slightly submerged to keep your bacteria alive. Then, grab a helper or two and carefully lift the tank from either side, supporting the bottom and keeping it level. If the tank is especially heavy, consider slipping plywood underneath to minimize pressure on the glass. Be sure to pack it so it stays level and doesn&rsquo;t shift during transit.</p></div>

Q: Should I get long-distance moving insurance?

• <div><p>Although purchasing moving insurance will add to the total cost of your move, it might take a weight off your shoulders. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/moving-insurance-worth-cost.htm">Moving insurance</a> covers roughly 60 cents per pound. If you&rsquo;re moving several antique or fragile items, you may want to invest in moving insurance covering damage or item losses.</p></div>

The guys were polite, and they arrived early. They explained everything that they were doing and executed the mission like the pro's they are. It didn't take long either. After they repaired my AC, they cleaned up and moved on to their next job. I'm satisfied.

"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."

You keep raising our goals so we bring the company in more money but no matter what we still make the same amount. If our goal is 30k and we hit 100% to goal we still make the same amount as if our goal is 50k and hit 100% to goal. We are working harder and bringing in the company more money but are not making more. It is not motivating.

"The move was professionally done. Members of the moving team were pleasant and informative. They carefully assessed the best way to get the piano in my house. Unfortunately, an accident occurred when moving the piano out of the seller's house, leaving some gashes in the wood along the front of the piano. I was not there and the seller did not see what happened, so have no idea why the damage occurred. The company was most gracious in giving me a reduced moving fee for the damage. This should help in covering costs to try to hide the wood damage."
