"Cory and Colton arrived on the time schedule, did a survey on the apartment and quickly started moving the furniture. They were very professional and did the best they could to finish as early as possible."
"This was the easiest move I've ever had! Jarod was very up front about his pricing and his quote was what the move ended up costing. No surprises. He was also very communicative and was quick with responses. His workers were polite and professional and I didn't have to lift a finger! Overall a smooth move and I was happy with the care of my furniture and boxes. I've already recommended them to other friends and colleagues."
"Voyage moving provides efficient service at an affordable price. Jarod and his helpers were on time and ready to go. Moving is such a stressful task but The Voyage Moving crew bring enlightenment with their friendly and polite attitudes. My items were well taken care of through out the entire process. I was happy I didn t have to supply moving blankets for some of my furniture pieces. I did buy my own boxes and pre packed them before they arrived. However, they let me know they also provide packing services. I truly could not have done the move alone. If I hired my friends to help I m 100% sure something would have broke along the way. Voyage moving is professional and provide awesome customer service."
"Our moving team was right on time, very efficient and respectful. They did an excellent job packing a very full truck for a cross country move. When we got there, nothing shifted, nothing broke. They were great, would highly recommend!!"
"Best moving experience I have ever had. The moving crew was great to work with - very professional and courteous. If you are moving and need fast and careful help, it's the best choice."
"Jerome and Adam from J & Z Moving were great. They had my stuff loaded quickly and all of the furniture fit through the doors without being broken down."
"World Class Moving & Storage made everything super simple and easy - I barely lifted a finger for packing. They were fast and also came on very short notice which was very nice of them."
"It went very well. I was in the hospital, so my friend worked with the movers in my place. It was done both quickly and carefully, and they charged about half what other companies charged. I highly recommend them!"
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.
You can save money when moving by packing and moving items yourself. You can also find ways to cut costs by shopping for packing supplies at discounted stores and getting free moving boxes instead of purchasing them. It also pays off to declutter your belongings prior to starting the moving process. Remember, the fewer items you have, the fewer packing supplies you have to buy, and you can rent a smaller moving truck or container, too.
There are generally three ways to ship furniture to another state: hiring professional movers, using consolidated freight, or through parcel shipping. Professional movers will generally pack your boxes in a truck and transport them to a storage facility or directly to your home.
A consolidated freight service will pack, load, and ship your items, but this is best to use for one or two pieces since your items will take longer to be delivered and will share truck space with other items. Parcel shipping such as UPS and FedEx is best for smaller items since there are size limits, and you’ll have to drop the boxes off at a local branch.
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 is helpful for safety reasons to pack knives in their own box and clearly label them. This way, movers can take extra caution when moving these boxes and pack them in the moving truck accordingly. Plus, it will remind you to use extra caution when unpacking that box in your new kitchen.
