"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."

"Very, very well. Lite Movers helped us identify the cheapest way to handle our complex move. They were wonderful to work with and sent us a great team of movers. Prices are reasonable, service was great, and they'll haul your unwanted furniture for a reasonable cost. A friendly, professional team from the moment you call to the end of your move."

Moving questions, answered by experts

You should consider hiring professional movers for moves that seem too daunting, dangerous, or involve large, heavy objects. The larger your home and the longer the distance, the more likely you are to need professional help. A moving service can take the hardest tasks off your plate and reduce the risk of personal injury. However, if you are only moving a few light items, you can save money by moving on your own and renting a truck. Keep in mind that a DIY move requires significant planning and time. A hybrid option is also available, where you hire movers just to lift and transport heavy items to your vehicle.

Knowing how much a typical long-distance move will cost is the first step in the budgeting process. Start by calling at least three local moving companies for quotes so you have a ballpark range—then you can start saving weekly. You can also start decluttering your home to reduce your truck weight and try to find donated packing supplies from local businesses or neighbors that recently moved. 

Most moving companies don’t charge by weight or volume unless you’re freight shipping items. The cost of hiring movers typically depends on the number of movers and time spent on the task.

You can purchase moving straps online or at a moving supply store, typically costing between $25 to $40. Shoulder moving straps for two people cost around $40, while forearm moving straps for two people cost around $30. Shoulder straps for one person cost about $30.

Planning ahead is essential—this will give you the chance to coordinate your move during weekends or after business hours, and set up essential services in your new office before moving day to minimize downtime. Start by creating a detailed timeline and checklist for every phase of the move, from packing to unpacking. Inform your employees, clients, and vendors about the move well in advance, including any expected disruptions and how you plan to manage them. Delegate responsibilities to ensure all aspects of the move are covered. Lastly, set up the essentials at the new location first to resume operations quickly.
