"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."
"I?ve had my share of moving day disasters, but Xpress Relocations completely changed the game for me. The crew arrived early, ready to work, and had such a positive attitude. They managed to fit every last item into the truck with precision. My fragile pieces arrived in perfect condition, not a single scratch. The pricing was fair and transparent from start to finish. I can honestly say they?ve earned my trust for any future moves."

"Bryan, Josie and their team were great to work with on every project. I started using their services 3 years ago when they were recommended by a local realtor after the contractor that was supposed to get our new home in NJ ready for our arrival from Atlanta was a no show. We had never met on site to do a walk through so everything was done by phone but when we arrived we walked in to what had been a falling apart house that had been empty for at least 3 years and it immediately felt like home. We were worried it wouldn’t be possible with the short notice and lack of a true game plan but they were easy to communicate with, dependable, patient and quick to catch the curve balls that were thrown at them. I am not sure what we would have done without them because we were in a, there’s no turning back now situation and we were moving up to move my mother in law in with us after she had a stroke and a heart attack so it was very stressful to think we may not have a livable home when we got here. Since then they have revisited my home to fix plumbing that we weren’t able to tackle before the move and they have opened up a door way and built a staircase between two buildings for us so that we could expand our business and they were just as wonderful to work with as they were the first time around. I can’t recommend or praise them enough!"
Start by removing any obstacles in the moving path, such as side tables, lamps, or other furniture. If your couch has legs, unscrew them. Measure the couch and the stairway to ensure you have enough room; if it seems unlikely, examine the shape and size of the couch and decide whether it might fit better up the stairway and through doorways on its side, held diagonally, or moved in an upright position.
Consider putting the sofa on a dolly to go up the stairs. It should be able to fit upright on a standard dolly with wheels. You’ll still need to lift the dolly—with the couch on it—up the stairs, but it will reduce the physical strain. The person holding the dolly should pull the couch up, while the helper should be on the other side, keeping the couch secure and steady.
If you don’t have a dolly, the person in front should lift the couch slightly higher than the person in the back to create more stability. The person in the back should also be the stronger mover, as most of the weight will be distributed there.
Never attempt to move a partially-filled tank, especially with the fish still in it. Even a minor alteration or adjustment in your movement can cause the water to move, disrupting the balance and potentially causing you to drop the tank or strain your back to prevent it from falling. However, you should maintain enough water on the bottom to keep the substrate slightly submerged during transit.
The most expensive part of moving is hiring professional movers. However, hiring a pro is more efficient and less stressful, so many people find the cost worth it. You’ll also spend a lot of money on packing supplies, including boxes, tape, and bubble wrap, so ask around to see if any friends or family members have old supplies you can use for free.
Movers wrap furniture in plastic to provide protection during transportation or storage. Plastic wrap acts as a barrier, safeguarding furniture from dust, dirt, moisture, and potential scratches or damage. It helps to keep upholstery, wood, or delicate surfaces intact, preventing wear and tear during the moving process. Additionally, plastic wrap helps to secure loose components of furniture, such as drawers or doors, reducing the risk of breakage.
Shared shipping is the cheapest way to move items overseas.
