"The process of moving can be very stressful but the men working made it very pleasant. Davey and Nico were very careful and concerned that they were taking extra care in moving our furniture and accessories. The company owner Jimmy was very personable and interested in customer satisfaction. I would recommend this company if you need to move."

"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!"

"I had the best experience with All Service Moving! Mike and Stan absolutely rock - best moving team ever! They moved me into my new house from Sumner to Spanaway, then my mom a month later from Renton. They were so efficient, careful, professional and friendly. They made sure all our items were carefully wrapped and protected and they moved everything quickly, yet effortlessly - I wouldn't recommend anybody else to get you all settled into wherever your moving! Thank you guys!!"

"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."

"Optimum Moving made our 1,300‑mile move so much easier than we expected. Bert, our sales executive, was a pleasure to work with and handled every detail. Carlos and his crew were quick, efficient, and incredibly positive throughout the entire process. They transformed what could have been an overwhelming move into a streamlined, stress‑free experience. We highly recommend them."

Moving questions, answered by experts

Typically, local moves involve either renting a moving truck and moving yourself or hiring local movers to do the job. For long-distance moves, options include hiring a full-service moving company that handles packing, loading, transportation, and unloading, or using a self-moving service where you load your belongings into a container or trailer and have it transported. Another option is hiring professional movers for labor-only services, where they assist with loading and unloading your rented truck. You can also opt for moving pods or moving containers that can be transported to the destination.

Unfortunately, moving scammers exist, so it’s important to thoroughly vet your moving company before scheduling a service date. Your moving company is likely legitimate if the offer fits within the average cost range, they provide proper contracts and moving insurance, don’t require a large deposit, and have several positive and recent online reviews from previous customers. Feel free to request previous customer information from the moving service and contact them to inquire about their experience to ease any lingering concerns.

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.

Moving companies offer a variety of service packages to suit different needs and budgets during the moving process. They typically provide loading, unloading, and transportation services, using specialized equipment to handle heavy and bulky items. Services can also include packing assistance, where professional packers securely pack belongings to ensure their safety during transportation. Some moving companies also offer temporary storage options, as well as unpacking services upon arrival.

The time it takes to move your car across the country depends on where the car is going. Generally, it can take five to seven days for your car to complete the journey. If your car is moving from Maine to California or a similar distance, expect to wait the full seven days, but if your car is just going a few states over, it may only take a few days.
