"Utilizing All Service Moving for the move was a very positive experience. They had good communication, answering several questions prior to the move and did a final confirmation just prior to the move date. As for the physical move itself, Jose, Abraham, and Alberto were polite, diligent, and careful moving the many items, and managed to complete the move more quickly than anticipated."

"The move went so smoothly and fast!! The guys wrapped up all of our furniture, and electronics so nothing would break or get dinged. The 3stoey townhouse we moved from was very narrow, filled with wall to wall furniture and at least 300 boxes. They moved like magic and had our whole house empty in record time! When we arrived at the new house, they were already here and ready to go! It was so comforting to know that they really cared about making sure all furniture was in the correct places. We had a huge heavy desk, but they got it upstairs without breaking it, the walls or themselves! I appreciated how upfront and honest they were regarding time and cost, no hidden miscellaneous fees as with some of the other moving companies. From the initial scoping call to the confirmation phone call , then when they had arrived, and again when they were done. We've had other movers where they cursed in front of our kids, left trash on the lawns, and in the house, from either their drinks or food, broke various fixtures from furniture and never called our attention to it. I'm so elated to report that this is absolutely not the case with this magnificent team! They worked so hard and well together, cleaned up after themselves and then some, and were nice to my kids. That really means a lot to me. One of our desks had a foot that came off, not only did they let us know about it but they also fixed it! Amazing, reliable and honest. I will be using them again and you should too!"

"Collegiate Movers did a great job! We moved to a 3rd floor apartment with extra stairs just to get to the 1st floor. Not once did they complain, not even about the heat! They were professional and efficient completing the move in 2 hours which was impressive going up those stairs. I was expecting it to take longer than it did because of the weather (about 90 that day), but they stayed right in the quoted amount of time. Great job! I would definitely hire them again."

"Nationwide made my moving experience easy. This is my third time moving cross country. The other two times prior were a disaster. Nationwide Moving really came through. Handle my belongings with care. Very polite crew and stood by their estimate and did not increase my move. I highly recommend."

"I moved to a new apartment with a large wardrobe and heavy furniture. The movers handled everything carefully, wrapping the smaller items in blankets and moving the larger items on dollies. They also took the time to ensure that my electronics and delicate lamps were packed securely. They were truly exceptional in moving things."

Moving questions, answered by experts

No, it is vital to transport a motorcycle upright because of its battery. These batteries are typically not sealed to avoid overpressurization, so the motorcycle could leak battery acid if it lays on its side. Plus, laying it on its side for a long period of time may cause hydrolock, which is when oil leaks into the combustion chamber, making your spark plug unable to ignite the gas due to lack of air.

Moving insurance helps protect your belongings from damage or loss during the moving process. This policy can help reimburse you either part of or the total amount of your belongings that become damaged during the moving process. Moving insurance has three main options: full value protection, released value protection, and third-party or separate liability coverage. Speak with your moving company to determine what is covered under each policy and their cost to determine the best fit for your needs. 

Using moving pods is generally cheaper than hiring a full-service moving company, primarily because you handle the packing and loading yourself, which eliminates labor costs. The cost savings are most significant for long-distance or cross-country moves; for local moves, hiring a moving company might be the more economical option. Renting and shipping moving pods can cost between $2,000 and $5,000, depending on factors like distance, the number of containers, and the weight of your items. Some services also charge a monthly rental fee of $75 to $200. In comparison, hiring a professional moving company for a long-distance move typically costs between $2,700 and $10,000.

To prepare furniture for moving, detach furniture legs if possible. If the legs must stay on, wrap them with foam wrap or taped blankets to help prevent damage. You can also buy dedicated moving “socks” for furniture legs.

Yes, many companies offer vehicle relocation as part of their service packages.
