When Metal Box Movers was founded in 2011, there were a lot of unknowns regarding the complex aspects of professional relocation services. After a number of years in the metro Atlanta area, the experience the owner gained opened his eyes to the enormity of the industry and the importance of providing high-quality moving services.
The name “Metal Box” came from the conviction that the safety and security of people’s valuables is of paramount importance as they relocate from one place to the next. After years of working with families, we still maintain that safety and security are still vitally important.
The Metal Box Movers’ approach to each customer’s valuables is one of “steel,” or an embodiment of strength and firmness, because we want each and every customer to know that we will strive to deliver the same safety and security that a metal box provides.
Moving is, without a doubt, one of the most challenging events for any family, and selecting the right or perfect mover does not come without its challenges. You need passionate moving experts in your corner who will help you to be clear about your relocation objectives.
THE WISDOM BEHIND USING PROFESSIONAL MOVERS
We often hear customers say, “Our friends were coming to help us move, but they got too busy, so, we called you,” or, “They helped us on our last move, but that didn’t turn out so well, and we ended up with scratched up and broken furniture.”
Hiring a professional mover can save you time and money in the long run, because if anything goes wrong, you can make a claim. We professionally secure your items with furniture pads and ensure that every single piece of item is placed in a box to prevent damage.
Take it from us, we’ve seen a thing or two.
HOUSEHOLD MOVING SERVICES
When it comes to moving your household, it’s never without its challenges, especially when trying to find the moving company that’s right for you. We say you must first know your objectives and that’s where we come in – professionals to help you identify and achieve those objectives.
FULL SERVICE LOCAL MOVING (PER HOUR RATES APPLY)
A technician will come to your house and do an inventory of every item to be moved. We will supply up to five men with a truck, along with all the necessary supplies and tools (boxes not included) to ensure a safe and reliable relocation to your new home.
FULL LONG-DISTANCE MOVING (FLAT RATES APPLY)
FULL-SERVICE PACKING
Our technicians are trained to pack and they have a vast knowledge when it comes to the different boxes and their purposes. Leave it to us and we’ll take the guesswork out of packing for you. If you are doing the packing yourself, we have knowledgeable technicians to help you decide your boxing needs.
HYBRID MOVING
Rent your own truck and we’ll send the helping hands and backs to load and unload your truck. We think that short distance moves are best for Hybrid Moving. For long and short distances, moving truck rentals may seem more economical than hiring professional movers, but make sure to include factors such as moving truck costs, tolls, gas, lodging, food, missing days from work, and the like.

PROFESSIONAL MOVERS OR DIY
At first glance, it may make more sense to you to do all your own packing and moving when you need to relocate to a new home — whether in the same town or in another state. After all, the DIY approach is generally more cost-effective, but, after you consider all the factors, it might actually make more sense to hire a professional moving company.
For starters, if you move yourself, you might not have to pay movers, but you will be responsible for paying for moving truck rental as well as gas and tolls — plus lodging, food, and miscellaneous expenses along the way. That also doesn’t take into account the physical toll of all that hard work! Even if it seems a lot more expensive to hire professional movers, it’s important to be honest with yourself about the true cost of moving yourself.
Peace of mind is another benefit of hiring a professional moving company. Having experienced and well-trained movers pack and unpack your things can be a great source of peace of mind, especially when it comes to handling large furniture, major appliances, and fragile items that need to be handled with extra care so as to avoid damage.
A company that offers professional moving services can handle your more tricky-to-pack belongings with skills that come from years of moving. If any of your items are damaged during your move, despite our best efforts, or if items get lost in transit, it’s the moving company’s responsibility to pay for repairs or replacements — not yours. When you move yourself, you bear those losses yourself.
So whether you self-move or hire professional movers depends not only on what your moving budget is, but also how much risk, stress, and physical labor you can deal with. Whatever you choose, we wish you good luck with your move!
Our approach is collaborative and our aim is to be the best stewards of your items. We say, “If it’s important to you, it’s a priority for Metal Box Movers.” We do this by immersing ourselves in your move, and by offering expertise and moving services that are tailored for your personal moving needs.

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.
