"If I could give zero stars, I would. We recently hired Keep Moving, and it was by far the worst moving experience we’ve ever had—and we’ve done multiple cross-state moves with zero issues. This company is disorganized, careless, and completely unprofessional, despite claiming to be “reputable.” We had five movers, and somehow what should’ve been a straightforward move turned into a 12-hour ordeal with two trips, countless mishandled items, and a massive amount of unnecessary stress. The team wasted time joking around, smoking in our garage, and showed no sense of urgency, respect, or coordination. Yet we were charged premium rates. The Damages and Issues: Our $3,000 Sony OLED TV was destroyed: screen cracked, case damaged, and now it won’t even power on. Our full-size cello was mishandled—string snapped and bridge shifted out of place—requiring professional repair. Fragile boxes were crushed under heavy ones, breaking irreplaceable items. Furniture was left disassembled, some pieces were left behind entirely, and clearly labeled boxes were dumped in a single room with no regard for where anything belonged. Our carpet was ruined due to no floor protection at the home we were moving from—despite being told this would be done. Moving blankets were left behind, items were half-unwrapped and abandoned, and in an absolutely absurd practice, the movers dumped our belongings out of their boxes to reuse the boxes for something else. And worst of all: during the move, I walked into the master bedroom and found one of the movers going through my dresser drawers—specifically my underwear drawer—and boxing up my personal items without permission. They never asked. They simply took it upon themselves to rifle through my things. This was a complete violation of privacy and totally inappropriate. After all of this, Keep Moving offered a laughable $150 in compensation, which we had to fight to get raised to $350. That still doesn’t come close to covering the damage, stress, or time we’ve lost trying to fix what they failed to do right. They call themselves reputable? They currently have a D- rating with the Better Business Bureau, and there are multiple reviews with complaints eerily similar to ours. That’s not a coincidence—that’s a serious pattern. Bottom Line: Keep Moving does not stand by its advertised values of care, professionalism, or trust. If you care about your belongings, your privacy, and your peace of mind—do not hire this company. Let me know if you’d like this tightened up into a shorter version too for quick posting. You said: let's add that google reviews are polished due to them offering incentives to rank their company high ChatGPT said: Absolutely. Here's the final, polished version of your 0-star review with that detail included: If I could give zero stars, I would. We recently hired Keep Moving, and it was by far the worst moving experience we’ve ever had—and we’ve moved multiple times without issue. This company is disorganized, careless, and blatantly unprofessional, despite claiming to be “reputable.” We hired five movers, and what should’ve been a simple move turned into a 12-hour mess with two trips, countless mishandled items, and an overwhelming amount of stress. The crew wasted time joking around, smoking in our garage, and showed zero respect for our time, property, or personal space. The Damages and Red Flags: Our $3,000 Sony OLED TV was destroyed—cracked screen, damaged housing, and now won’t power on at all. Our full-size cello had its string popped and bridge knocked askew due to mishandling. Fragile boxes were crushed under heavy boxes, resulting in broken and irreplaceable items. Furniture was left disassembled, some pieces were left behind entirely, and clearly labeled boxes were dumped into one room without care. Our carpet was soiled because the movers didn’t lay down floor protection at our old home, despite promising they would. Moving blankets were left behind, items were half-unwrapped and abandoned, and in a completely bizarre move—they emptied our belongings out of boxes to reuse the boxes for themselves. And the most disturbing part: I walked into our master bedroom to find one of the movers going through my dresser drawers—specifically my underwear drawer—boxing up personal items without my knowledge or permission. There was no request, no communication—just a total violation of privacy. Keep Moving initially offered $150 in compensation. After weeks of back and forth, they raised it to $350, but it still doesn’t begin to cover what was lost or damaged—not to mention the time and emotional toll this has taken. They claim to be reputable, but if you dig past their curated image, you'll find many reviews describing similar experiences. One important thing to note: their Google reviews are artificially inflated, as they offer incentives to customers in exchange for high ratings. That’s why the glowing reviews don’t reflect the reality of what you might experience. Final Thoughts: Keep Moving does not uphold the values it advertises—there is no trust, no professionalism, and absolutely no customer care. If you value your belongings, your time, and your privacy, do not hire this company."

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."

Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"Just a terrible experience. Our driver was 10 hours late to pick up and our items arrived damaged and 30+ days late. Changed dates to make it look like they weren't late despite it being clearly stated in the contract. Customer service is abysmal. Genuinely awful company that i wouldn't recommend to anyone."

Moving questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you should get a full month’s notice for a move date. If you’re renting, your landlord or property management company is required to give the same amount of notice as your pay period length. So, if you pay rent each month, they will need to give you a month’s notice unless your leasing agreement says otherwise.

Some companies offer supplies like dollies and furniture pads for an additional fee. Confirm availability when renting.

Apartments come with strict regulations about what pets are allowed, so check before you sign a lease. If you have a fish or reptile, wait to move them until everything is set up and you’re ready to do a special move just for them and their aquarium/terrarium.

For a dog or cat, be sure you have a carrier before the move. On moving day, it’s best to designate a “safe room” or even a crate for your pet to help them get used to the new space. Keep everything they need in the safe room, and let them explore the rest of the apartment in their own time.

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.

Movers are very skilled in everything having to do with the moving process. From knowing which supplies and materials to use for certain items, to packing, to knowing how to efficiently load a truck, they have experience doing it all. And professional movers often do it all faster and more efficiently than a typical homeowner could.
