"What a great experience with this moving service. I hired First-Rate Moving & Storage on a long distance move and they did a fantastic job. Everything went so smooth and I didn't expect that. In short it was a best moving experience I have ever had and I would highly recommend this company!"

"Shleppers is an amazing moving company that cared for me and my wife. We moved from New York to Chicago, and they sent two guys who efficiently and effectively moved us. They also made a local move for us and were the first moving company to refund us because they didn't do as much work as intended. 5/5!"

"I would recommend Royalty Moving Systems to anyone looking for a moving company! Lenore was awesome through out the whole process, she took the time to explain the pricing which was extremely competitive. There was a little miscommunication on my end which ended up with us getting a smaller truck that would not fit all of our items. I called Lenore to let her know the truck was too small, within 15 minutes we had a larger truck. We had Mike, Darryl, and Troy who handled all our furniture. They were extremely professional, personable, and careful. If I was moving again I would make sure to request these guys! If you decide to go with this moving company you will not regret it."

Moving questions, answered by experts

Renting a moving truck or using a shipping container (or moving pod) are typically the cheapest ways to move long-distance. For moving a few items, a container can cost as little as $700. Renting a standard-sized moving truck averages between $1,200 and $2,100. For longer distances, moving pods can become more cost-effective, as you can ship the pod to your destination and avoid transportation costs like gas, mileage, and lodging.

You can’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’re moving during on-season.

Several weeks ahead of the moving date, 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.

You should consider hiring professional movers for moves that seem too daunting, dangerous, or involve large, heavy objects. The larger your home and the longer the distance, the more likely you are to need professional help. A moving service can take the hardest tasks off your plate and reduce the risk of personal injury. However, if you are only moving a few light items, you can save money by moving on your own and renting a truck. Keep in mind that a DIY move requires significant planning and time. A hybrid option is also available, where you hire movers just to lift and transport heavy items to your vehicle.

Some companies offer supplies like dollies and furniture pads for an additional fee. Confirm availability when renting.

Yes, it’s possible, but it’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’t shift during transit.
