"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!"

"All Service Moving was exceptional. Great customer service - easy to schedule and flexible. Royce & Frost did an AMAZING job moving all of our very heavy and fragile belongings. They handled all of our requests and items with care and worked both efficiently and quickly. They were super friendly and very customer service oriented. I can't thank them enough for the GREAT job they did. I highly recommend All Service Moving for anything moving and/or storage related. And DEFINITELY request Royce & Frost to handle your job. Thank You!"

"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."

"The move was a smooth and pleasant experience for us. We were really stressful before the move. However, Toni and his friends were professional and really did a great job in helping us move from Harrison, NJ. Highly recommend others to try Ziptozip moving for your move."

"moved from a 2 story home into a 3 story home.  I HAD MANY LARGE HEAVY  pieces, all of which went to the second and third floor, in the new home, except for the ding room buffet china cabinet and hutch.  It took them four hours.  Only wish they could have put the bed and futon back together again.. But for just 2 men I WOULD say they did an excellent job.  do not hesitate to call o the Affordable guys  for all your moving needs

Moving questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s typically not advisable to move heavy furniture by yourself. However, if you are confident that you can do it safely, there are several different tools you can use, including a hand truck, a four-wheel dolly, or an appliance dolly. If you’re moving furniture upstairs or downstairs, a hand truck is the most suitable choice. Regardless of what you choose to use, always ensure that the furniture is well-balanced and secure by using lifting straps or tie-down straps to keep it in place.

Most moving companies don’t charge by weight or volume unless you’re freight shipping items. The cost of hiring movers typically depends on the number of movers and time spent on the task.

You should give yourself ample time to pack clothes for a move. For best results, begin packing at least a few weeks before moving. The packing process may take shorter or longer depending on how many clothes you have and the size of your home. Start with clothing that’s out of season and work you way to the pieces you plan to pack in your moving-day suitcase.

Apartments come with strict regulations about what pets are allowed, so check before you sign a lease. If you have a fish or reptile, wait to move them until everything is set up and you’re ready to do a special move just for them and their aquarium/terrarium.

For a dog or cat, be sure you have a carrier before the move. On moving day, it’s best to designate a “safe room” or even a crate for your pet to help them get used to the new space. Keep everything they need in the safe room, and let them explore the rest of the apartment in their own time.
