Q: Can I move a gun safe by myself?

• <div><p>Depending on your safe&rsquo;s size and weight, we don&rsquo;t recommend moving the safe without hiring professional movers. A moving service will have the equipment and skills necessary to move this heavy, bulk item safely. If you insist on moving it yourself, enlist the help of a few friends to help you move the gun safe with a furniture dolly.</p></div>

Q: How do I move a pet into a new apartment?

• <div><p>Apartments come with strict regulations about what pets are allowed, so check before you sign a lease. If you have a fish or reptile, wait to move them until everything is set up and you&rsquo;re ready to do a special move just for them and their aquarium/terrarium.</p><p>For a dog or cat, be sure you have a carrier before the move. On moving day, it&rsquo;s best to designate a &ldquo;safe room&rdquo; or even a crate for your pet to help them get used to the new space. Keep everything they need in the safe room, and let them explore the rest of the apartment in their own time.</p></div>

Q: How do you pack mugs for moving so they don't break?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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 &ldquo;fragile&rdquo; so movers know to handle it with care.</p></div>

Q: What if I need to move my couch within my house?

• <div><p>To save your flooring&rsquo;s finish and to protect yourself from injury, use furniture sliders to move your couch from room to room on the same house level. Double-check that entryways are large enough to pass through. If you need to move a couch up or down stairs, hire a team of movers to help you with this task to avoid damaging your walls or staircase.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to move myself?

• <div><p>Yes, it is cheaper to move yourself than to hire professional movers. The average DIY move costs <b>$120 to $2,300</b>, while professionals cost <b>$890 to $2,570</b> on average or up to <b>$12,000</b> for the longest distances. While you&rsquo;ll save on the cost of professional labor with a DIY move, you&rsquo;ll spend more time and energy packing, loading, transporting, unloading, and unpacking. </p></div>

"Alll My Sons Moving was A+ from start to finish. The "support" folks were courteous, friendly and thorough in ensuring they had all the information needed to make "moving day" a success. The 2 movers, however, were definitely the stars!!! They arrived on time, reviewed everything to be moved to 2 different locations then went to work loading their truck. Everything was moved to the first location and set up as needed. Delivery to the second location was more challenging because of the topography, but these great guys proceeded move everything here with an excellent positive attitude."
