"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 most stress free experience I’ve ever had moving!! I can’t recommend the Teddy Moving company enough. Truly made my moving so seamless and smooth."
"I recently moved for the third time with Shleppers. They pack and move everything for you, taking all the effort out of moving. They show up on time, take good care of your things, price is reasonable, what else do you want?"
"It went very well, not only did they move the items indicated, but they helped moved furniture that was in the house. I was happy with the openness to help out."
"Our move was relatively small - emptying out a few piece of large furniture and some luggage from my father-in-law's assisted living studio apartment. Men On The Move was the first to provide an estimate from the few movers I contacted. The estimate was very reasonable, and they folks were very helpful throughout the planning and moving process. I would definitely use them again."
"Three of your guys moved us this past Wednesday. The service was great, the movers were cheery and friendly and they got our move done as quickly and carefully as possible."
"Recently, my wife and I issued a negative review on this site for Q’s Moving Corp., because while transporting one of my flat screen TV’s it was damaged. The events following that incident have prompted me to write this second review. The owner of Q’s Moving, as well as his staff, have done such a wonderful job following up since the incident by reaching out and offering us a wonderful compensation for our loss, despite having no legal obligation to do so. I was impressed by their responsiveness and their concern to do the right thing. I call that a) INTEGRITY and b) STANDING BEHIND THEIR WORK. Additionally, despite that one incident with the TV (and we all know accidents happen sometime), the company and its employees did a wonderful job with the move, and again, the response in the aftermath was swift, decisive, cordial, and showed a concern for the customer that we often do not see in business these days. They placed me, their customer, over profits. I therefore give them the highest rating and would use them again."
"I have used Pro Express Moving three times in the last three years, and they have done an excellent job with every move. I'm constantly impressed with their speed of packing, handling of heavy items, and thoroughness in unpacking. They are professional and reliable, which is everything you want in a moving company."
Ultimately, the best option for your cross-country move depends on your budget, timeline, and the level of convenience you want. For a speedy and hassle-free experience, you can spend a bundle on full-service movers who take care of everything from packing to transport. Budget-friendly options include container services that allow you to pack your stuff at your leisure.
Yes, moving insurance is designed to cover some or all of the replacement cost in the event your items are damaged during transit. You can get coverage directly from moving companies or use a third-party moving insurance provider. Plus, you can get coverage from third-party insurers for yourself if you’re moving your belongings.
While your movers focus on packing and transporting your belongings, you can focus on other parts of your move, such as preparing children and pets to move or cleaning rooms as they’re emptied. You’ll need to be onsite as your movers pack or unpack your stuff, and can help direct movers to where items should go if they need help. Additionally, if there are certain items you’d prefer to move yourself, such as valuables or sentimental items, focus on packing those things and taking them with you during your move.
Movers are very skilled in everything having to do with the moving process. From knowing which supplies and materials to use for certain items, to packing, to knowing how to efficiently load a truck, they have experience doing it all. And professional movers often do it all faster and more efficiently than a typical homeowner could.
There are some household items movers won’t pack, while there are others that are important to keep on your person during the move. Don’t pack the following items:
Poisonous, hazardous, flammable, or explosive items, including some cleaners, matches, alcohol, and paint
Perishable food items
Pets and plants
Irreplaceable items and documents, such as your passport, will, and medical records
