"Excellent moving service! My friends recommended me First-Rate Moving & Storage for my move so I called them to see their offer. They gave me very acceptable price, I know that because I also contacted some other moving companies. The move went great, with no issues and quick also. I am completely satisfied how everything turned out and would highly recommend First-Rate Moving & Storage!"
"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."
"From start to finish, Shleppers was the best moving experience we’ve ever had and we’ve moved many times. Nicholas Rodriguez, our rep at Shleppers, priced our move and scheduled our moving date quickly and efficiently. Bob’s moving crew was exceptional! They went above and beyond in every way. They were careful with all of our furniture, and were happy to do whatever we asked. Next time we move, we will definitely use them again."
"This company moved my belongings from McKinney Texas to Chicago Illinois a couple of months ago. The guys packed our one bedroom apartment very professionally and quickly. I would recommend this company to my friends."
"If you want a hassle free move look no further than Xpress Relocations LLC. Over the years I'd had many aggravating moves and was looking for a company that could deliver a smooth running experience with minimal stress and damage to my belongings. When the Xpress Relocations movers arrived, something made me immediately trust them. From the start they proved to be courteous, competent and happy to be doing the work. Nothing was too much or too difficult, and they made the job look easy, reassuring me any time I became anxious. They exhibited professionalism at every stage and handled everything with a great deal of skill, care and good humour, including some unexpected glitches in the new building I was moving to, which was still under construction. I would recommend this company to anyone."
"Great job! The men were friendly, respectful, and efficient. They handled my "extra fragile" items with extreme care - just as I asked. I used the packing service too. They had plenty of boxes for all my belongings, and wrapped my furniture in plastic to protect it. I lived at the end of a very, very long hallway and the new apartment has a short flight of stairs. The men were upbeat and positive all day, even having to deal with that! They were experts at loading the truck so everything was secure. I'm so happy to support a local business and can totally recommend it. A couple suggestions for improvement are: a little bit more prompt reply to website inquires, and a bit more written communication or confirmation (email). Also, if you continue to offer the packing service, I'd suggest bringing bubble wrap and/or let the client know you'll be needing that kind of packing material. A wardrobe box is also great (a box with a bar for hanging clothes.) Thanks so much for helping my move go smoothly! Good luck building your business!"

"The team was on time and professional throughout the move. Took care of moving my house and piano with no damages. Would recommend to anyone looking to move houses."
It's typically best to hire movers who specialize in moving pianos because moving them often requires specific equipment and finesse, especially when it comes to grand pianos. However, some standard moving companies have experienced piano movers on their team, so it never hurts to call a company and ask about their piano moving expertise.
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.
It takes professional movers longer to load a moving truck than unload it. However, it depends on the specifics of your move. It takes some time to strategize the most efficient way to load the moving truck with your furniture, boxes, and belongings. That’s why it’s important to rent the right size moving truck to ensure everything fits and makes the loading process move faster.
If you don’t have dividers, wrap each wine glass individually using bubble wrap or packing paper to cushion both the bowl and delicate stem. Secure the wrapping with tape and place glasses upright in a sturdy box, layering soft items like dish towels, crumpled paper, or clothing between them to prevent shifting. Fill any gaps with padding to keep glasses snug, and label the box “FRAGILE–HANDLE WITH CARE” to ensure careful handling.
You should always transport the washer and dryer in an upright position. If they are turned on their sides to move, it can cause damage to the internal parts, such as the suspension and drums. Don’t attempt to move a washer or dryer to a new location if it’s sitting on its side.
