"The moving team responded in a timely, professional manner at a very reasonable cost that resulted in a non-stressful relocation from the state of Ohio to New Mexico, USA. My household goods were delivered just one day after I personally arrive in Las Cruces, NM and the mover only required an hour or so to move my household goods into my new home. The communication between myself and Moving Ahead Services was fast and efficient, and I was provided with continuous updates about the status of my move. In summary, Moving Ahead Services of Ohio provided a lost-cost (relative to other relocation services), timely move, in a professional and polite manner, and I would hire them again, and recommend them to others considering a relocation at this time, or in the near-future. R. Mark Elowitz, PhD"

"The process--from hiring to completion of move--was seamless and perfectly executed. Don and his team of two helpers arrived on time and worked quickly, efficiently and--most importantly--carefully to move an entire apartment's worth of furniture from a storage unit 25 miles away, then up two flights of stairs without any breakage. They even did it all in two hours! Super nice owner and honest company, highly recommend."

"I want to rate them as an "A". Their price seemed very reasonable. They were really amazing, thorough and nice. They were the nicest people you'd ever meet. They were moving a lot of furniture, 2 different houses into one. They were like lightning bolts. I can't say enough how you don't know what to expect. I hadn't moved in 35 years and I had never had a professional company move. They were really good. They did us and then two days later they moved my mother in with us. I was very pleased with them. They were like a half hour early to move us, that was fine. They were just friendly and they were funny. The one guy went over and above to help get our refrigerator out and into here. They make them so big now and our house was old. He had to actually disassemble it, You don't see that a lot in moving companies, it's like "Oh sorry your problem". It was $100 to move a safe, I mean it was a huge safe and that's all they charged us. It was $100 to move Mom's piano in here and that stuff isn't easy. They acted like it was no big deal. It was what I feel was within reason. I do want to give them credit for a job well done. One guy had to leave, he had an appointment he could not miss. So at lunch time they switched out and got another guy. The next time they came back it was the same crew. They like to be consistent so they know you. I can't say enough. I would absolutely without a doubt use them again."

"Overall, it went great! They brought a large crew both times (7-8 movers), all were very friendly and helpful and moved very quickly and efficiently. They were well trained and experienced moving crew. Most of the movers were involved in both moves. We had a fairly large amount of stuff, most of it was boxed ahead of time. What wasn't, they boxed it up for us. When we moved out, they sent two men back to take care of the trash, some large items, and dispose of it. They even swept out our garage. During the long storage time, Jeffers sent two men to Arhaus to pick up new furniture and add it to the storage "pile." It took them a day and a half to move out our stuff (there was an issue with one of their trucks, and we needed three truck loads. They moved everything back in in about 8 hours. Recognize that the movers had to pack trucks, then unpack them for storage. For the July 1 move-in, they packed the trucks on June 30 to move them in the next day. I believe that if they simply moved them from one house to another (3 trucks), the cost would have been much, much lower. I strongly recommend them to anyone, and have who were equally satisfied with Jeffers. They know what they are doing and move very quickly, having fun along the way. The crew treats you like you are family, and your possessions like they are theirs. Jeffers quotes you a price up front (they are not on a clock looking for extra hours) and doesn't push you if it's beyond their estimated time.

"Movers had great communication, were on time and efficient. Job was a piano move. They carefully protected our hardwood floors and masked up when picking up from an older couple."

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

Traveling with your automobile over short distances when moving is typically less expensive than shipping it with a transport company. However, consumers start to break even at around 500 miles. It's typically less costly and worth shipping your car with a professional transport company if the distance you're going exceeds 500 miles.

Professional movers take care of safely loading, transporting, and unloading all of your belongings. Many movers also offer specialty pricing for whole-house packing, furniture disassembly, relocating fragile items, and more. You’ll benefit from having a moving team take care of your move quickly and efficiently.

Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including: 

  • Is there anything your company won’t move? 

  • Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?

  • Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture? 

  • Are there packing restrictions?

  • Can you guarantee my delivery date?

  • Can you provide references? 

  • What do you charge extra for?

  • What is your cancellation policy?

When loading a moving truck, the general rule is to load the heaviest and largest items first to create a stable base at the front of the truck, which helps balance the weight. You can start with large furniture like sofas, beds, mattresses, and tables to form a solid foundation, or begin by placing your heaviest boxes against the truck's walls to create a base layer. After the base is set, continue loading other large items like appliances and square furniture. Lighter and smaller objects, including most of your boxes, should be loaded last. They can be packed into gaps, around, and on top of the heavier items to maximize space. Following this order makes unloading easier and helps prevent damage to your belongings.

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.
