"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!"

"My move from New York to Los Angeles with US Prime Movers was a fantastic experience. They were communicative from start to finish, and there were no hidden fees. They adjusted my quote multiple times with ease as I updated them leading up to the move, which gave me confidence in their flat-rate pricing. On moving day, the team was quick and efficient, and the lead mover, Juan Morales, was exceptional. They handled all my belongings with care, and not a single item was scratched or damaged when I unpacked. They even set up my new apartment exactly how I wanted it, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend US Prime Movers for anyone looking for reliable, professional service!"

Moving questions, answered by experts

To pack mugs securely for a move, start by lining the bottom of a moving box with padded packing material like bubble wrap. Wrap each mug individually, tucking the ends of the bubble wrap inside the mug for a snug fit. For extra protection, consider using a moving box with built-in slots to keep the mugs separated.

When placing the mugs in the box, pack them tightly enough to prevent them from shifting, but not so tightly that they are under pressure. Fill any empty gaps between the mugs with additional packing material. To keep the box from becoming too heavy, it's best to pack no more than 10 mugs per box. Finally, be sure to label the box as “fragile” so movers know to handle it with care.

No, not tipping movers isn’t considered rude. Tipping is optional, not expected. There are plenty of alternative ways to show your appreciation without tipping.

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.

Once you complete the moving process, you’ll have to transition into paying for your new living expenses, including monthly rent or mortgage payments. You should also consider the cost of property taxes, utilities, and new furnishings for your home.

Yes, you need insurance for a moving pod. Moving insurance is worth the cost because it can help pay to replace any damaged or destroyed items during the move. Without insurance, you’d be on the hook to pay for those replacements entirely out of pocket.
