"Everyone involved in my move was professional and pleasant to deal with. The move took place on a horribly rainy day and the movers ensured all of my furniture was protected and dry. They did a fantastic job and the move occurred on time and on budget. I highly recommend Eastland Movers!"

"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."

Moving questions, answered by experts

The most cost-effective way to move is to DIY most of the moving tasks, including packing, driving the moving truck, and loading and unloading. While DIY moving is typically the least expensive option, it makes the process much more time-consuming and difficult. To eliminate some of the physical and time stress associated with DIY moves, consider hiring professional movers for the most essential tasks, such as loading and unloading furniture, and completing easier tasks on your own.

There are generally three ways to ship furniture to another state: hiring professional movers, using consolidated freight, or through parcel shipping. Professional movers will generally pack your boxes in a truck and transport them to a storage facility or directly to your home. 

A consolidated freight service will pack, load, and ship your items, but this is best to use for one or two pieces since your items will take longer to be delivered and will share truck space with other items. Parcel shipping such as UPS and FedEx is best for smaller items since there are size limits, and you’ll have to drop the boxes off at a local branch.

Yes, tipping each mover separately ensures that everyone on the team gets their fair share.

You can ship motorcycles via train, truck, plane, or boat. For trucks, they can be carried on either an open or enclosed trailer. In all cases, the motorcycle will be held down with straps to keep it securely in place. You’ll need to contact the appropriate carrier, shipping company, or moving company for exact details on how to prep and pick up your motorcycle.

Ultimately, the best option for your cross-country move depends on your budget, timeline, and the level of convenience you want. For a speedy and hassle-free experience, you can spend a bundle on full-service movers who take care of everything from packing to transport. Budget-friendly options include container services that allow you to pack your stuff at your leisure.
