"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 was looking to move some patio furniture to my daughters house, table, 8 chairs an umbrella. I really didnâ t want to go thru the hassle of renting a u haul and doing it myself but I didnâ t want to pay a fortune to move. I went thru Angi list and statewide got back quickly with other. They got back to me quickly with a written quote and a day to move. The contractor spoke to me by phone for final arrangements and the price was fair. They came on time, packed the furniture and were at my daughterâ s house in a short period of time. Pleased with process, pleased with service and pleased with price. I would use them again."

"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."

"My husband and I were moving and looking searched online for a good moving company. We came across Zip to Zip Moving online and called for a rate. We spoke with someone and got a great rate. The morning of our move we were contacted by the movers to confirm the start time of our move. The movers were in time and very professional. Zip to Zip offers people a way to save money with selecting the item to move or not to move. We were also able to select the materials used during to move to save more money. We are so happy to have found Zip to Zip Moving. We would definitely use their services again."

"Incredible service. Was moving from New York to Philadelphia from one 4th floor walkup to another. The team did everything so quickly, and managed to move a lot of heavy and complicated furniture through tight stairwells. This is my second time using Great Moving and I hope to have their help if I ever move again."

Moving FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you need insurance for a moving pod. Moving insurance is worth the cost because it can help pay to replace any damaged or destroyed items during the move. Without insurance, you’d be on the hook to pay for those replacements entirely out of pocket.

Up to a point, you can change your mind about moving into a new apartment. But once you’ve signed a lease, you are under certain obligations that can make changing your mind very expensive, at the very least. That’s one reason it’s important to do a walkthrough and to read all documents carefully before signing.

How long it takes to move into an apartment depends on many factors, including the amount of belongings you’re bringing with you, how accessible the apartment is (do you have an elevator, or will you be walking up and down several flights of stairs with boxes?), and whether or not you’re hiring a moving company. Having said that, for a local one-bedroom apartment, it usually takes a moving company between two and five hours to move you in.

The cost to hire movers for a full-service move is at least $2,300. This typically includes packing and unpacking, loading and unloading, transportation, furniture assembly, and furniture disassembly.

Costs will vary based on the number of items you have, with additional surcharges for heavy and valuable items. If you’re interested in this service, get multiple quotes from different moving services to find the best deal.
