"Terrible, they came highly recommend and I was in tears by the end of the move. They were over an hour late and did not call to notify me they were running late. They got grease all over my couch and mattress to the point that they are ruined. The scratches several walls, doors, and decking. They were NOT equipped to move the safe although they told me they do it all the time. My beautiful hardwood floors have several deep scratches in them from they way they moved in the safe. Terrible experience and will never use them or recommend them. They also did not wear masks and used very foul language. Very unprofessional."

"Lennie and Drew were responsible for our most excellent moving experience. They arrived on time with smiles and good humor that was contagious. They asked how we would like it done, then protected floors and doorways and moved and loaded everything perfectly. All was unloaded and placed in each room with the same good humor and care the next day. Our stuff was wrapped and packed extremely well. No damage at all from the 5+ hour trip. By far our best moving experience. A great price and an even better move! Thank you Righteous Moving Services! Dave and Beth"

"BLVD Moving is a fantastic moving service! They delivered my items to my new apartment in the East Loop in a timely and organized fashion! They were flexible and understanding when the movers from a previous move in the building took longer than planned. The movers themselves were friendly, fun and a joy to work with. I highly recommend BLVD Moving for anyone moving to/from the CA area!"

"I called United Prime Van Lines only 1 week before my move - they were extremely helpful and accommodating. On the day of the move we hit a snag, as there was someone else moving on my floor at the same time and we only had 1 elevator. They made the most of it and we moved a lot of stuff down 4 flights of stairs in a timely manner. Trustworthy and competent!"

"I had a great moving experience with this company. I was in a hurry to move because of my mom passing . I didn’t know where to start.I googled moving companies in the area and I came across this one. US Prime Movers have the best reasonable prices you can’t beat nowhere! They was informative about ever step. The moving process didn’t take long as I thought. Everything was wrapped and packed nicely. All of my items came as I left it . I’m astounded by the enthusiasm these guys have. They were friendly but professional at the same time. They did an superb job."

"I have to say, I did not have great expectations hiring a national moving service for a big move from Austin to Albuquerque recently. Mostly because I have had mediocre experiences with big moving companies in the past. Boy, was I wrong! Both Joe Kim, my primary contact, and Lori, one of the logistics people, were outstanding. There wasn't a single glitch along the way, and National's systems were outstanding. I was timely informed about everything along the way, in an unobtrusive way. Highly recommended! Bonus was they were very economical."

Moving questions, answered by experts

Murphy beds can be relocated, but moving them requires disassembly and may involve potential wall repairs. Professional help is recommended to ensure safe removal and reinstallation, which may incur additional costs. Improper handling during the move can damage the bed’s mechanisms or structure, so careful planning and expertise are essential.

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.

In most cases, you will need at least three able-bodied people to move a gun safe. Since gun safes are bulky and heavy, they can easily tip when you try to load them on the dolly and onto the truck or trailer. The more help you can get, the better! You should also consider hiring a team of professional movers to help with this heavy-duty move.

When planning an out-of-state move, you should aim to save enough money to cover at least two to three months of living expenses, including rent, food, utilities, and transportation. Ideally, saving for six months or more is best, especially if you don't have a job lined up. You also need to budget for the transition costs, such as a moving vehicle rental, hiring movers, and packing materials. Cross-country moves typically cost between $2,400 and $6,860. You can calculate your estimated moving costs in advance based on factors like distance, weight, and the number of bedrooms.

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.
