"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

Yes, you can move a tiny house on skids, although it will be costly to do so frequently. Skids are essentially hefty timbers you can attach a chain to to move the entire structure. People often build their tiny homes on top of the skids, allowing them to be more portable. However, it’s not as simple of a move as a house on wheels, so it’s a more complicated move.

Yes, it is cheaper to move yourself than to hire professional movers. The average DIY move costs $120 to $2,300, while professionals cost $890 to $2,570 on average or up to $12,000 for the longest distances. While you’ll save on the cost of professional labor with a DIY move, you’ll spend more time and energy packing, loading, transporting, unloading, and unpacking.

Moving a six-person hot tub typically requires at least four to six strong individuals. The exact number of people required depends on the hot tub's weight, dimensions, and any obstacles in the moving path. Additionally, professional movers may have specialized equipment to handle the task more efficiently with fewer people.

Yes, movers will usually move one item like a gas grill—but your propane tank must be empty if you want them to move it. If you still have propane, you’ll need to either transport it yourself or dispose of it properly and purchase a new one after the move.

There are several effective ways to save money when hiring a moving company, primarily by handling some tasks yourself and being strategic with scheduling. Consider these methods:

  • Pack Your Own Belongings: You can significantly reduce costs by packing and protecting your items yourself. This includes wrapping delicate items, organizing them into boxes, and taping the boxes closed. You can use towels, clothes, and suitcases to pack belongings and protect breakables.

  • Provide Your Own Materials: Source free packing materials from friends and family, or reuse boxes and bubble wrap from a previous move.

  • Schedule Strategically: Book your move well in advance. Rates are often lower if you schedule your move on a weekday during the off-season, which typically runs from October through April.

  • Compare Quotes: Get moving quotes from at least three professional movers in your area. This allows you to compare services and choose the best value.

  • Ask for Discounts: Inquire if the moving company offers any special coupons or deals.

  • Purchase Moving Insurance: Protect your investment by purchasing moving insurance, especially for expensive or antique belongings.

  • Divide the Labor: While you can save money by packing, it's wise to leave the more dangerous and physically demanding work—like loading, unloading, and moving heavy furniture—to the professionals.
