"Shleppers is an amazing moving company that cared for me and my wife. We moved from New York to Chicago, and they sent two guys who efficiently and effectively moved us. They also made a local move for us and were the first moving company to refund us because they didn't do as much work as intended. 5/5!"

"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."

They handled my furniture carefully and made sure everything was secured properly. Unloading was done without any confusion. Nothing was damaged during the move."

"I had a wonderful experience with Moveasy. Arjun and his staff were amazing . They moved me from my home to an apartment then moved additional storage to a local storage facility. They were excellent, organized, professional and most importantly friendly. The move was seamless and I would highly recommend them."

Moving FAQs, 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.

Deciding whether it's worth it to hire movers depends on your budget, patience, and physical capabilities. It's difficult to gauge the amount of work that moving calls for, and it's easy to be off by about tenfold. 

If you're able to call in some favors and round up friends to help, you might get through it just fine, but if you only have a few hands helping, things can quickly get overwhelming. Either way, bringing in the pros will save considerable time and stress, so if it's within your budget, it's a great investment.

The base rental cost of a truck is cheaper, on average, and they tend to offer more room than a container. However, the total cost depends on the rental period, distance, move size, storage needs, and travel costs. The main benefit of choosing moving pods is that you don’t have to drive a large truck by yourself, and they can double as storage space. Shipping containers are more efficient for long-distance moves than trucks. 

The best way to transport plants when moving is to prep them properly, cover the soil, pack them tightly in boxes, and take extra precautions depending on state plant regulations, weather, and distance. You should be sure to fill in the gaps around your plants to minimize movement during transit and plan to unpack them shortly after arriving at your destination. 

In most cases, you will need at least three able-bodied people to move a gun safe. Since gun safes are bulky and heavy, they can easily tip when you try to load them on the dolly and onto the truck or trailer. The more help you can get, the better! You should also consider hiring a team of professional movers to help with this heavy-duty move.
