"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 job. They arrived on time, were careful with my stuff, and got the job done quickly. They stacked it in the storage facility neatly and with enough room for me to add other items that I will bring later. I definitely recommend Van Express and will be using them later when I move everything again."
"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."
"Once again McAvey Moving Company did an awesome job from start to finish. I used them twice in 3 years and I will be using them again at the end of the month. The quote from Brian was exactly what I paid.....No hidden costs!! The moving crew was the best. It was a comfort to know my cherished belongings were in good hands"
You can calculate the cost of moving by evaluating your home size, the weight of your belongings, distance, and the method of moving. You’ll also want to account for moving company fees, cost of supplies, gas prices, storage fees, insurance, and more. To get the most accurate estimate for your upcoming move, get price quotes from several moving companies in your area.
Movers calculate a moving estimate through various methods, including flat fees, estimated weight, amount of space taken up in the moving truck, or a combination. Read the estimate carefully, including parts of the contract that cover mover liability, how and when movers arrive, and other information. The best estimates include an itemized list with fees for fuel, especially large items, packing and unpacking, storage services, and more.
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.
Moving straps like forearm or shoulder straps can usually support up to 800 pounds, sometimes more with specialized straps. However, that doesn’t mean that one person can always lift that much weight, just that the straps are rated for that amount. For example, some straps require two people working together to balance the weight of the heavy item.
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.
