Long Distance Moving & Storage. Household, Commercial, International, Corporate services available. Our Mission is To exceed expectations on every move. We live this day in and day out. Our service is top notch and fully efficient. Our trucks are perfectly equipped for moving with Pads, dollies, Plastic and much more. We provide Long Distance Moves across the entire country, directly from our West Coast HUBS located in AZ, CA, OR and WA. Or, we team with our partner companies to complete moves together. We are proud to provide a service that no other company offers; Dedicated Trucks. This means that your belongings are loaded on the truck and not combined with anyone else’s items (from/to west coast only). They are not transferred to other trucks or facilities in route which causes damage and loss of items (typical with van lines). We have a set loading day and unloading day. This is by far the safest way to ship. Our interstate rates are per 24ft moving van that holds up to 8,500lbs or 1400CuFt. Some customers require one truck and some require more. One truck holds the average 1800SqFt.

"I cannot say enough great things about All Service Moving—and ESPECIALLY Rico and Reyes, who were absolute lifesavers for my last-minute move. After another moving company bailed on me the day before my scheduled move, All Service swooped in and saved the day. Rico and Reyes showed up EARLY, upbeat, and ready to tackle the challenge—even with super heavy furniture that usually requires a 4-person crew. Somehow, the two of them handled everything like pros without a single scratch or ding—on the furniture or either home. What really stood out was how personable, kind, and thoughtful they were. They moved quickly and efficiently, knowing I was paying by the hour, but never once sacrificed care or quality. They were kind to my mom (who was helping me out), and so sweet to my two dogs too. If you’re planning a move, ask for Rico and Reyes by name. They went above and beyond, and I want their team to know what a fantastic job they did. They deserve every bit of recognition. 100% recommend."

Mustard Seed Moving Co of San Antonio is unique in that we are dedicated to staying small, to keep our reputation big. Instead of growing the company to add more trucks and teams, we remain as 1 small, skilled team. The owner of the company, Andrew Sengler, personally assists with the labor for 99% of the moves performed, along with his qualified team. Our website is very informative and includes information about our rates. We also are unique in that we can deliver and pick up good-condition moving boxes before and after a local move. Our box division is called Box-Go-Round. Box-Go-Round prepares you for your move by making it easy to get the right type and right number of boxes. We have a rolling warehouse of new and used moving boxes and moving supplies that conveniently goes to your location, helps you formulate your order and immediately delivers your moving boxes and packaging supplies. We also have packing service available, even if it is just your kitchen you want packed. If your move was a local move, we will pick up your boxes after you are finished with them (free service for 30 or more boxes), or you can bring them back to our warehouse. We offer full refunds for new, unused boxes that you purchased through us. We also buy back any gently-used boxes that you purchased new through us and bring back to our warehouse. Our local delivery is free, as is our local pick up service, as long as the minimum size order requirements are met. All of our prices are posted on our website and they are always current. We carry new and used boxes including wardrobe, dish pack, mirror, small book, medium, large & x-large. We also carry tape, blank newsprint packing paper, moving pads, markers and other important moving and packing supplies. We are based in San Antonio, TX and our warehouse is near Culebra and 1604, on the NW side of town. Cost is determined by the job. Additional DBA - Box-Go-Round. Additional address- 8223 Leslie Rd, San Antonio, TX 78254.

"Amazing! The Mustard Seed crew arrived early and surveyed the scope of work. They organized quickly and began dismantling the furniture pieces. All the parts/bolts were bagged, and everything was well wrapped. The baby grand piano was disassembled and wrapped with extreme care. Special consideration was given for the unloading team with the crew building a platform to protect the piano during transport and ease the unloading. What was more is that they screened the moving company at our destination to ensure they had the piano moving expertise. Then the Mustard Seed crew sent photos and diagrams of how things were packed in advance to the company that unloaded us. Mustard Seed Moving seasoned load masters maximized every square inch of space. After moving many times in the Military, I have never seen the level of professionalism and care that Mustard Seed Moving provided to us during this move. Once we arrived at our destination the local company explained that they had been briefed in advance by Mustard Seed Moving and knew what needed to be done. Mustard Seed Moving has set a new standard for moving."

Locally owned & operated. We have a large fleet of trucks to accommodate every type move . We have full time experienced professional movers. We perform background checks and drug testing on all employees. We do NOT hire temporary labor. We have been in business since December 2005. We are fully licensed and insured household goods movers. . We specialize in local and long distance residential moves.

"I hired John Ferguson to move my household after reading excellent reviews. I have been beyond disappointed. First, he sent a 3 man crew to move a 3,192 sq ft house with a 500 sq ft casita with only a local truck and trailer. After 2 loads for both the truck and trailer, all goods were not moved and I had to hire someone else to finish. None of his employees could back a trailer. They hit my gate and messed it up. One of my friends fixed it when Mr. Ferguson did not. While unpacking, I discovered 3 pieces of treasured pottery broken. Two pieces were very delicate pottery crosses. I told his employees I would pack those. Well, they put them in bubble wrap on the BOTTOM of a box with a lamp and an I-Robot on top. One is absolutely shattered. They put a pottery bowl in a box of heavy vases, with very little wrapping; it's in too many pieces to repair. Mr. Ferguson's response was for me to glue it back together. And, a portion of my Stickley library table is missing. He has failed to respond to my text regarding that. I cannot recommend John Ferguson Moving & Storage."

Our items were received at the other end of the move quicker than expected. Again the men who delivered our items were very professional and communicated well with us.

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

It’s rare to rent moving straps alone. Typically, you buy them outright. However, if you rent moving equipment, like loading tools or a furniture dolly, from a local or big-box business, they may come with moving straps for you to use.

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.

The best ways to prepare for movers include decluttering and properly labeling boxes. Decluttering lessens the workload and ensures you are not bringing unwanted items into your new home. Labeling boxes lets movers know which rooms they belong in, reducing confusion when it's time to unpack.

Typically, local moves involve either renting a moving truck and moving yourself or hiring local movers to do the job. For long-distance moves, options include hiring a full-service moving company that handles packing, loading, transportation, and unloading, or using a self-moving service where you load your belongings into a container or trailer and have it transported. Another option is hiring professional movers for labor-only services, where they assist with loading and unloading your rented truck. You can also opt for moving pods or moving containers that can be transported to the destination.

Most professional movers can provide a wide range of moving-related services, and you’ll need to pick and choose which ones you want to use. Examples of common services offered include the following:

  • Organizing and packing your belongings

  • Protecting delicate items with bubble wrap or other protective equipment

  • Moving your belongings and furniture out of your old home

  • Moving your belongings into your new home within a certain distance

  • Unpacking your belongings in the new location

  • Moving heavy items, like pianos

  • Moving your vehicles

  • Storage if your new home isn’t ready
