"The move was a smooth and pleasant experience for us. We were really stressful before the move. However, Toni and his friends were professional and really did a great job in helping us move from Harrison, NJ. Highly recommend others to try Ziptozip moving for your move."

"We move Philly helped me move my mom’s furniture and belongings to a long term care facility. They were very friendly and supportive to the situation taking care of her things and were extremely fast. I believe this is the 4th time I have engaged their services which never disappoint. I speak highly of them and look forward to getting in contact with them again in the next few months after we sell my mother’s house and I move again!"

Moving FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you’ll need a dolly to move a washer or dryer. These appliances are extremely heavy and cumbersome. A dolly and heavy-duty straps will streamline the moving process and reduce the chances of an accidental injury. As a bonus, a dolly helps protect your flooring from scratches that can occur during the moving process.

How long it takes to move into an apartment depends on many factors, including the amount of belongings you’re bringing with you, how accessible the apartment is (do you have an elevator, or will you be walking up and down several flights of stairs with boxes?), and whether or not you’re hiring a moving company. Having said that, for a local one-bedroom apartment, it usually takes a moving company between two and five hours to move you in.

Renting a moving truck is often the cheapest way to move long-distance, with costs ranging from $1,000 to $2,100. For smaller moves with fewer items, a moving container can cost as little as $700. As the distance of your move increases, using moving pods or containers can become more cost-effective because you can ship them to your destination and avoid transportation costs like gas, mileage, and lodging.

Bed frames are big, bulky, heavy items that are difficult to move. Moving an assembled bed frame isn’t a job for one person, and depending on the size, movers may struggle to fit it through door frames. It’s often easier to disassemble to frame, even when you have multiple professional people helping with the move.

If you need to move heavy furniture inside your house, like a grandfather clock, consider hiring professional movers for this service, too. Many moving companies advertise in-house moving services, including transporting heavy items to different rooms or floors of the house. It’s best to hire professional movers for this task to avoid damaging parts of your home, like narrow stairways or flooring, or the item during the process.
