"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."

"Ample team flawlessly moved our baby grand piano and some furniture. Ivan and his teammates were punctual, fast, and careful with our belongings. They went above and beyond to make sure that everything was protected enough and in a flash everything was in its place in the new house. There were a lot of stairs but no complaints but no complaints."

"They were professional, friendly, and fast. My move took about 3 hours. Unfortunately, one of my lamps did break, and my sectional did not fit through my apartment door, but all and all, I have no complaints."

Moving questions, answered by experts

When planning an out-of-state move, you should aim to save enough money to cover at least two to three months of living expenses, including rent, food, utilities, and transportation. Ideally, saving for six months or more is best, especially if you don't have a job lined up. You also need to budget for the transition costs, such as a moving vehicle rental, hiring movers, and packing materials. Cross-country moves typically cost between $2,400 and $6,860. You can calculate your estimated moving costs in advance based on factors like distance, weight, and the number of bedrooms.

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.

Movers wrap furniture in plastic to provide protection during transportation or storage. Plastic wrap acts as a barrier, safeguarding furniture from dust, dirt, moisture, and potential scratches or damage. It helps to keep upholstery, wood, or delicate surfaces intact, preventing wear and tear during the moving process. Additionally, plastic wrap helps to secure loose components of furniture, such as drawers or doors, reducing the risk of breakage.

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.

The number of boxes you need to move depends on the size of their house and whether your style is minimalist or maximalist. However, on average, most people need around 60 boxes to move. It’s essential to pick the correct box sizes to ensure efficient packing.
