Thank You!"
"Moving APT made our cross-country move incredibly smooth and stress-free! From the initial quote to the final delivery, their team was professional and efficient. They handled our apartment move with care, ensuring our furniture arrived without a scratch. Highly recommend them for anyone planning a long-distance move!"
"The entire moving experience was handled very well and on time. Customer service was excellent. Would definitely recommend this company for future moves."
"The initial quote was a good one. The initial deposit payment process I was skeptical about, because, they use a payment system called Plaid, which requires you to pay using your bank account number, after doing my research, I found that Plaid was legit, then WorldClass made it easier for me to pay my initial deposit. The WorldClass Moving storage guys came out to pick up my furniture as planned. Once they picked up, I was able to pay by Zelle. The moving coordinators Janice,Sarah and Don were all very polite and knowledgeable. My only suggestion is they give more reminders of your appointed move date and an ETA on the before or day of your move. Otherwise, so far I have no complaints, looking to receive my furniture arrive at its destination in a couple of weeks. I'll do another review of the final move transport process."
"This was my first time using a moving service but it went better than expected. Quick and easy process. Great communication from Anthony and customer service. The movers wrapped and tagged my stuff. I used to move so I was looking out for the same quality I learned. They did well. My items should be here within a week but so far so good."
"Choosing a moving company was the hardest thing ever done their all Expensive but Movely gave me a great Quote and stayed by my side until my move was delivered . Thank you guys They Came on the promise day and pack all of my mom items with such delicate care i was in contact with Romeo and veronica nice reps"
"I enrolled online at a website that had numerous companies call and bid for this relocation. USL contacted me along with at least 7 other companies. I am not sure how many companies really did call me because I lost count after the 100th phone call. I spent a good hour a day for a week deleting voicemail messages after I entered my information on the aforementioned website. USL had a well spoken salesman who clearly explained the moving process and gave me a price of $900.00 that was better than almost all of the other estimates I was given. The move day came and the movers arrived within the hour window the salesman had given me during the scheduling process. When the movers started using shrink wrap to wrap my furniture prior to placing the large padded blankets over it, I was a little concerned that I would get charged for the use of shrink wrap. Needless to say, I didn't end up paying any more than estimated aside from the 60 dollars I tipped the mover. 20 dollars a piece seemed appropriate, but since this is my first time using a moving company I wasn't really sure what was appropriate and the salesman told me that tips were not mandatory and to tip based on how I felt the movers did. The movers finished wrapping up and loading all my furniture within an hour and a half. I didn't receive any phone calls from USL for two days after my furniture was picked up, so I decided to call in myself. The customer service representative who answered phone put me on hold for about 5 minutes, and when she came back to the line she told me that my furniture would be delivered in 3 days between 2 and 3 PM. I thought maybe she had just looked at the contract that the salesman had told me and repeated the information. When I asked her if she was sure, she told me that she personally talked to their "dispatch" department and that the shipment would arrive at the same time stipulated in the contract. Sure enough, the furniture was delivered five days after my original pickup and everything was accounted for and in good shape. Two out of the three movers who delivered my items were the same guys who picked up my furniture. They told me that the third mover was dropped off at local USL hub on the way to me to go elsewhere for the company. At the end I thought because I had already tipped the same movers on the pickup that another tip was not necessary. Not sure if that was the right call but what's done is done. All together, if I ever had to move again I would call USL. I'm hoping that doesn't happen any time soon because moving is no fun at all."
To pack mugs safely for a move, start by lining the bottom of your moving box with padded material like bubble wrap. Wrap each mug individually; for a snug fit, you can tuck the ends of the bubble wrap sheet inside the mug. Place the wrapped mugs in the box, using a box with slots for extra separation if available. The key to preventing breakage is to pack the box tightly enough that the mugs cannot shift during transit. Fill any empty gaps with additional packing material. However, be careful not to pack more than 10 mugs in one box, as it can become too heavy to carry safely. Finally, be sure to label the box as “fragile” to alert movers to handle it with care.
When loading a moving truck, the general rule is to load the heaviest and largest items first to create a stable base at the front of the truck, which helps balance the weight. You can start with large furniture like sofas, beds, mattresses, and tables to form a solid foundation, or begin by placing your heaviest boxes against the truck's walls to create a base layer. After the base is set, continue loading other large items like appliances and square furniture. Lighter and smaller objects, including most of your boxes, should be loaded last. They can be packed into gaps, around, and on top of the heavier items to maximize space. Following this order makes unloading easier and helps prevent damage to your belongings.
Tipping movers is not mandatory, and most professional companies do not expect it. However, it is a common way to show appreciation for their hard work and the care they take with your belongings and home. A standard tip is between 10% and 20% of your total bill, split among the crew, or about $10 per mover per hour, tipped individually. It's an especially good idea to tip if the movers work in difficult weather, handle specialty items like pianos or pool tables, provide extra packing services, or go above and beyond your expectations.
Never attempt to move a partially-filled tank, especially with the fish still in it. Even a minor alteration or adjustment in your movement can cause the water to move, disrupting the balance and potentially causing you to drop the tank or strain your back to prevent it from falling. However, you should maintain enough water on the bottom to keep the substrate slightly submerged during transit.
