USA Residential Moving Services
We are Certified Mover Consultants and members of both the American Movers and Storage Association and the United States Movers Association.
Local Movers
Generally speaking, a local move is a move that involves a distance of less than 100 miles within the same state. We are local movers based out of Hoboken, New Jersey. If you’re relocating locally, you’ll love our local moving services!
Whether you’re moving a household or a commercial business, our professional moving crew safeguards your furnishings from the moment they arrive to the final delivery. Our local movers are among the best in the business and well-equipped with the tools required to safely pack and transport your belongings.
Packing, Loading and Unloading Solutions
Our local movers offer complete packing, loading and unloading solutions tailored to your needs and preferences. Our process begins by consulting with you to determine the best approach for your individual situation. Many homeowners prefer to pack small items on their own, leaving the bulky items to the local movers. Others count on us to pack everything. Whether you need full or partial packing service, we come prepared with wardrobe boxes, moving boxes, blankets and wraps, bubble wrap, dollies and other moving supplies and equipment.
Local movers load your furnishings with care, secure the load on the moving truck and then safely transport your belongings to the final destination (or local storage if necessary). Upon arrival at the final destination, we unload your items and place furnishings and boxes in the designated rooms.
Local Storage Solutions
We also offer local storage solutions for those instances when you must vacate one home before the new home is ready. With this option, we’ll pack and load your items just as we normally would. However, instead of immediately transporting them to your new home, we’ll store them in a secure storage facility until your new home is ready. We offer both short-term and long-term storage.
Personalized Local Moving Solutions
Because no two moves are ever alike, we work closely with you to create a personalized moving plan. Whether you’re moving down the block or 95 miles away, your local moving needs are unique. We take the time to fully understand your needs and preferences and offer the most affordable moving solutions to match. Most importantly, we strive to take the hassles and stress out of moving. You can count on us for experienced, local movers and on-time deliveries – all tailored to meet your individual moving needs.
International Movers
As international movers, we understand the questions you may have as you plan your move – and we have answers. We have helped residential and commercial customers successfully move internationally and have crafted moving solutions that address virtually every challenge that may arise.
Our Global Relocation Team
Our global relocation team is composed of highly qualified international movers and consultants skilled in coordinating all aspects of an overseas move. Our international movers have undergone extensive training to ensure that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills required of packing, tracking and delivering overseas shipments.
When you team up with us, you will work with one of our global moving consultants to determine the best course of action. For example, your consultant can help you decide whether it makes sense to ship your furnishings overseas or place them in long-term storage here in the United States.
We offer comprehensive door-to-door moving services, even when the destination door is located on the other side of the globe. Our international services include:
• Packing, loading and unloading
• Overseas transportation
• Shipment tracking
• Short-term storage
• Long-term storage
• Complete coordination of international movers
Local (intrastate) moves are generally based on a per-hour cost for the personnel and
the number of vehicles that the mover provides (up to a certain distance, with longer
distances based on the weight of your shipment and the mileage it is transported) and the
level of liability that the mover will cover in the event of loss or damage is generally
less than would apply for an interstate move.
Once you have compiled a list of movers, inform them of the destination and timing of your
move. Ask them about the types of services they offer. Also ask them to explain their
estimates in detail and to give you a copy. If any company refuses to give you a written
estimate, you should eliminate them from consideration. Then carefully compare to see which
mover best suits your needs and budget.
The cost of your move will be based on the actual weight of your belongings and the distance
they are shipped, plus the amount of packing and other services that you require.
To help you anticipate the cost of your move, movers will give you an estimate of the price.
Be sure to get written estimates from at least 3 different movers so that you can compare
their services and prices.
