"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."

"BLVD Moving is the best. This is the third time we have used them to move us and wouldn't think of hiring anyone else. Lupe and Jose were there right on time and I was amazed at how quickly and efficiently they go the job done. I cant recommend BLVD Moving enough. If you need help moving be sure to give them a call."

"We had a short notice move and these movers were able to accommodate us. The crew of 3 movers arrived a few minutes late but finished the move timely. They were all cheerful, energetic, helpful and accommodating. We had no damages to our personal items and property. We will refer them to EVERYBODY WE KNOW MOVING!"

"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

The best way to transport a TV is to wrap and pack it tightly in a TV moving box with plenty of padding to protect it from damage. If a box is not available, you can use moving straps and moving blankets to secure the TV in an upright position within the moving vehicle. To prevent it from shifting during transportation, place large pieces of furniture around it for stability.

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.

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 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.

The easiest way to move a shed is to roll it along a makeshift conveyor belt made of strong PVC pipes and a board. Alternatively, hiring professional movers who move sheds makes your shed-moving project as simple as making a call and writing a check.
