"I have moved three times in the past three years and the first two moves were a disaster. These wonderful guys were a breath of fresh air in their competence, cordiality and they actually made moving, which is usually a pain, into a pleasure!"

"The crew from Xpress Relocations Moving were fantastic. From the time they arrived to the time they finished, they were fast, courteous and thorough. They worked well as a team and never wasted a minute. The furniture was carefully handled and each piece properly wrapped before going on the truck. They were great about moving some pieces to different delivery destinations. Unpacking and set up was fast and EVERYTHING arrived in perfect condition. Xpress Relocations Moving was recommended to me by another extremely satisfied (and repeat) customer. I would recommend them 100%. Making the arrangements with their office was so fast and easy as well. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations."

"Very fair pricing for a quality job. Sergio and his team are respectful, friendly and focus on every little detail. No move was made without my approval and during the process they will make suggestions that actually save you money. I will be using Veteran's Tile again a few times over the next few months and for future projects throughout the upcoming year. I would highly recommend using them for any project."

Moving questions, answered by experts

To pack mugs securely for a move, start by lining the bottom of a moving box with padded packing material like bubble wrap. Wrap each mug individually, tucking the ends of the bubble wrap inside the mug for a snug fit. For extra protection, consider using a moving box with built-in slots to keep the mugs separated.

When placing the mugs in the box, pack them tightly enough to prevent them from shifting, but not so tightly that they are under pressure. Fill any empty gaps between the mugs with additional packing material. To keep the box from becoming too heavy, it's best to pack no more than 10 mugs per box. Finally, be sure to label the box as “fragile” so movers know to handle it with care.

The size of the safe will determine the type of dolly that will work best for transporting your gun safe. You will need to ensure it is a heavy-duty appliance dolly made to move heavy items, such as appliances or pianos. Always check the weight of your safe beforehand so you can rent or buy the correct dolly that can withstand its weight.

The average cost to hire professional movers is approximately $1,700, but the total price can range from as low as $920 to over $12,000 depending on the move's complexity. For local moves, typically under 100 miles, costs generally fall between $920 and $2,530. Long-distance moves are more expensive, with prices ranging from $2,700 to $10,000 or more.

Several key factors influence the final cost:

  • Distance and Home Size: The mileage of the move and the size of your home.

  • Number of Movers: Hourly rates can range from $25 to $50 for one or two movers, increasing to $100 to $200 for a team of four or more.

  • Services: Additional services like packing, unpacking, and storage will add to the cost.

  • Specialty Items: Moving large or delicate items such as pianos, vehicles, or large aquariums incurs extra charges.

  • Timing and Access: The time of year, your specific moving date, and the ease of access to your home can affect rates.

Don’t forget to account for other potential costs like moving supplies and tipping your movers.

To prepare for moving a piano, start by documenting its current condition with photos in case of any damage during the move. Secure the piano's lid and wrap the instrument, including its keys and pedals, with bubble wrap and moving blankets for protection. Note that if you have hired professional piano movers, they may handle this step for you.

Next, prepare the space. Measure any tight spaces or doorways to ensure the piano will fit through. Clear a wide path from the piano's location to the exterior door, removing any furniture or obstacles. It is also helpful to prop open doors to make the exit easier.

On moving day, ensure the moving truck can park as close to the exit as possible. For safety, keep children and pets away from the moving area to prevent accidents or distractions.

Moving a grill by yourself is possible, as long as you’re careful. If your grill has wheels, you can simply wheel it to your desired location—or to a moving vehicle if you’re transporting it to a new location. Before moving a grill, make sure it’s cool and clean. And, if you need help moving heavy furniture items, a pro can help.
