"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."

"The move went so very well thanks to Men On The Move. The crew of three that I had was beyond wonderful. The foreman of the crew understood how nervous I was about the move and he assuaged my fears by really being empathetic and taking great care of my furniture. The three man crew worked so well together. They were totally in synch. There was no dilly dallying and they finished the move so quickly and perfectly. In addition, all of my furniture was wrapped, which I did not expect. The crew of three that worked with me really knew what it was doing and took such great pride in the job. Would highly recommend Men On The Move."

"Awesome company, everyone on the team were so professional. They were extremely careful and couldn’t be any nicer with our kids during the move. From the initial call to the last piece of furniture moved into house, Strongman Moving and Transport were amazing. Highly recommend!!!"

Moving questions, answered by experts

Professionals can typically move a one-bedroom apartment in three to five hours. It will take longer if you have many belongings or the destination is far away. The time will also increase if the movers must handle large and cumbersome items, like full sets of dressers and antique wood furniture. DIY moves take significantly longer, typically lasting a full day or more. 

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.

The level of difficulty for this type of move depends on the size of the safe. However, even a small gun safe can weigh several hundred pounds. Since gun safes are large and bulky, they are typically difficult to move and transport unless you have the right equipment and plenty of professional help.

When loading a moving truck, the general rule is to load the heaviest and largest items first to create a stable base at the front of the truck, which helps balance the weight. You can start with large furniture like sofas, beds, mattresses, and tables to form a solid foundation, or begin by placing your heaviest boxes against the truck's walls to create a base layer. After the base is set, continue loading other large items like appliances and square furniture. Lighter and smaller objects, including most of your boxes, should be loaded last. They can be packed into gaps, around, and on top of the heavier items to maximize space. Following this order makes unloading easier and helps prevent damage to your belongings.

It’s important to never lay a flat-screen TV on its side when moving. Weight can damage the fragile screen, and falling objects are a risk. Always place your TV upright between other large flat objects so it isn’t crushed when the load shifts on a turn. Use moving blankets to pad the space between the objects.
