"These guys were great! My husband and I are always so busy we barely had time to pack. We hired soliman movers and more to do some last minute packing and move us to the new house. They were on time, extra cautious, and a pleasure to work with. I recommend these guys to anyone and everyone."

"We had a flawless long distance move with “Syracuse Trailer & Moving”. They were the only moving company that would work within our time frame. Communication was excellent. They were clearly experienced, courteous and positive. Avoid the nonsense of contractors and middle men. I highly recommend Josh with “Syracuse Trailer & Moving”."

Moving questions, answered by experts

The best bet for most large items is a four-wheel dolly, but it depends on the size and shape of the couch. This tool provides extra stability for heavy loads and enhances maneuverability, which is useful when squeezing through a narrow doorway. Additionally, four-wheel designs reduce the effort required to move the dolly, which minimizes the number of required helpers.

There are several effective ways to save money when hiring a moving company, primarily by handling some tasks yourself and being strategic with scheduling. Consider these methods:

  • Pack Your Own Belongings: You can significantly reduce costs by packing and protecting your items yourself. This includes wrapping delicate items, organizing them into boxes, and taping the boxes closed. You can use towels, clothes, and suitcases to pack belongings and protect breakables.

  • Provide Your Own Materials: Source free packing materials from friends and family, or reuse boxes and bubble wrap from a previous move.

  • Schedule Strategically: Book your move well in advance. Rates are often lower if you schedule your move on a weekday during the off-season, which typically runs from October through April.

  • Compare Quotes: Get moving quotes from at least three professional movers in your area. This allows you to compare services and choose the best value.

  • Ask for Discounts: Inquire if the moving company offers any special coupons or deals.

  • Purchase Moving Insurance: Protect your investment by purchasing moving insurance, especially for expensive or antique belongings.

  • Divide the Labor: While you can save money by packing, it's wise to leave the more dangerous and physically demanding work—like loading, unloading, and moving heavy furniture—to the professionals.

Shipping a moving container costs around $3,000 on average, with a typical range of $2,000 to $5,000. For international moves, the price can be as high as $7,000. Costs fluctuate based on factors such as the container's size, weight, travel distance, demand, and fuel prices. To ensure you get the best deal, it is recommended to get quotes from at least three different companies.

There are different types of moving companies, and you’ll want to look for one that has experience moving houses. Ask them how many houses they’ve moved, how long they’ve been in business, whether they coordinate all of the labor, permits, and subcontractors needed, and what their liability is for any damages incurred.

Disassembling a shed before you move it could save space and ease the process of loading it onto a moving vehicle. However, you should only disassemble it if it was designed for the possibility of re-building it at your new home. Consult the original process and materials required to build the shed in the first place when considering this option.
