"They did an excellent job. The movers, Adoni, Richard, and Peter (?), were punctual, friendly, strong, and professional. I couldn't be happier. Due to the complex nature of the move, there was a confusion about two tables, and the problem had to be fixed two days later. Stefan was extremely helpful and courteous in getting the problem resolved.. This is a top-notch group and I would gladly use them again. "
"I have been moving a lot due to my work. Never have I felt that moving is easy until now. The guys at Rob The Mover simply amazing. The move was like a breeze. In and out just like that. They came, they packed, the delivered. No dents, no flaws, no hidden fees. I will definitely use The Moving DR for my future long distance moves."
"The movers that came we’re extremely nice and efficient. We moved large furniture along with lots of fragile items and nothing was damaged. I would definitely use them again!"
"Used capital city for a recent move within NJ. Very professional from start to finish. Started with Brandon who provided a very competitive quote ( I had quotes from 3 other companies). He took his time to create a thorough inventory list. On the moving date, Sash and his crew were extremely professional and polite all through the 10 hours of loading, moving and unloading. They took great care of the items and did all the hard work with a smile on their faces. Would highly recommend them!! Thanks and good job."
"The movers came on time, were friendly, cooperative, amazingly efficient, and carried my piano up 29 steps and around a narrow bannister without a problem. They were able to work within the allotted time so that I didn't have to pay anything extra, and before the move, all of my questions were promptly and thoroughly answered. Great Movers really deserves its name!"
"It's not a good experience because I am missing my Apple Watch. I bought an Apple Watch and I can't find it and they don't know. This is not good. I also had a tv stand and the bottom broke and it caused imbalance of the tv. I don't want to accuse, but I still can't find my watch. I didn't notice my watch missing and the tv stand broke until a month later. It would be hard for me to accuse, so I just left it alone. I thought that the whole move could be done in 5 hours and it took them 6. Now, I was moving from apartment to apartment, ground floor to ground floor. I thought it would be quicker. I remember we took a break and I got them food to eat. That wasted maybe a half hour time. It took another additional hour. I ended up paying another $100 and on top of that he was asking me if I can give everyone a tip. What I did was give everyone a tip and additional $100 for the extra hour and I gave them food to eat. I paid for their lunch and gave them a tip. They did hard work. I even helped them move some furniture myself. It wasn't like I was watching them. I was helping. I think because of the speed they were doing it, it shouldn't be 6 hours. They tell people to pay for their lunch and then to tip them. It was a $400 watch and I think about it everyday. Maybe it's not their fault but I know that I was missing it after we moved. It was my fault that I put it in a place that they were doing work. I don't want to accuse. I don't know what really happened."
"Excellent. Timely efficient, careful pleasamt, No incidental damage to furniture or walls. Paid by the hour but moved swiftly. Very professional in wrapping furniture to prevent any damage."
"After getting ridiculous quotes from the “major carriers” for a local move, a friend recommended White Glove Moving and Storage. I gave them a call and was very pleasantly surprised at their fair prices. On moving day, four men got to work right away. They were very professional, pleasant, courteous and efficient. They took great care wrapping and loading our expensive furniture. When we arrived at our new home, not one scratch or dent on any of our possessions. They moved and placed each piece of furniture in different locations until we were completely satisfied. I have moved many times in my life and I can honestly say that I have never had such a stress free move, ever! Look no further, this is the firm you want for your move. I highly recommend White Glove Moving and Storage."
"On the day of the move there were 5 gentlemen to make the move : Kevin, Julio, Marvin, Carlos and Steve.......They all were the consummate professionals.......They were organized, prepared, very considerate and even my 14 year old dog, Suki, didn't bother them, even though she did get in their way,.,....They had everything out in 3 hours and all boxes, items, pieces of furniture were labeled. A complete list of all the items moved was given to me.........They were awesome........They were going to bring my belongings to their storage unit and hold them there until I am ready to move into my permanent residence.

It’s rare to rent moving straps alone. Typically, you buy them outright. However, if you rent moving equipment, like loading tools or a furniture dolly, from a local or big-box business, they may come with moving straps for you to use.
Some companies offer supplies like dollies and furniture pads for an additional fee. Confirm availability when renting.
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.
Old pianos can be hard to sell for a few reasons. Pianos fifty years or older may only sell for several hundred dollars and will often cost more to transport to the new owners. Restoring a piano also costs well into the thousands, making it pretty hard to make your money back. In most cases, donating or recycling the parts of a piano is more cost-efficient and beneficial in the long run.
This depends on your specific needs and budget. If you’re looking for the most cost-effective way to ship furniture, a self-moving service that provides pods may be your best option. If cost isn’t an issue and you’re more concerned with the security of your items, you may want to hire a white-glove furniture delivery company with ironclad insurance policies to help.
