    Pre-Move Queries

    Typically, most households can be packed within a day or less.
    Packing services include a team of professional movers who have been approved, scored, and reviewed by the Moving of America Moving staff. They will properly pack your items into boxes and ensure your belongings are securely loaded and padded for safe delivery to your new destination
    If your packing is not finished as your scheduled moving day approaches, then don’t hesitate to contact the project manager assigned to your move. We will promptly send our white glove movers who will assist you with packing all your remaining belongings swiftly, minimizing any delay to your move.
    Moving of America accepts Discover, MasterCard, and Visa. Typically, movers require a partial or total payment before your move-in day. At Moving of America, we charge 100% of the total balance prior to the delivery of your items. The costs of packing supplies are non-refundable. For additional information, please see our Payment Policy.

    Moving Day Queries

    When you speak with one of our professional Moving Advisors, they’ll conduct a thorough inventory of your residence and ask several questions about items such as that pool table and the pile of antiques stacked against the wall in the basement! The space required on the truck will depend on the items you plan to take, and pricing will be calculated accordingly.
    Crew sizes vary depending on the items listed in your inventory. For example, pianos, fridges, armoires, safes, and other large items may require more muscle, leading to a larger crew.
    Loading services involve properly padding furniture and loading the items into the moving truck at the origin location, as well as disassembling basic items (such as beds, dressers, and mirrors, etc.) and wrapping furniture. Unloading services involve removing all items from the truck at your destination and placing them in the appropriate rooms or areas per your instruction, as well as reassembling standard furniture (i.e. beds, dresser mirrors, etc.).
    Our trucks are fully owned and operated exclusively by us. They measure approximately 53 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 9 feet tall. While they can make it down most streets, please inform your Moving Consultant if a truck this size may have difficulty accessing your home. Based on the needs of our customers, we may also utilize a 26’ truck or portable storage container.

    Post-Move Queries

    Absolutely yes! Once the transportation is complete, our expert residential movers will coordinate with you to carefully unpack and arrange all your belongings in your new space to your satisfaction.
    Protection Coverage covers repair, replacement, or reimbursement for any items damaged while under the care of Moving of America. More information is available in our Protection Policy.
    Your household goods are covered for the entire time they are under the care of Moving of America’s professional movers. Choose from two coverage levels to find the option that best suits your budget and coverage requirements.

    Scheduling Queries

    Moving Of America strives to be as accommodating as possible with timing. Short notice moves are certainly possible, but can’t be guaranteed. We suggest you book your moves as early as possible, especially if you’re moving in the summer—the busiest time of year for relocation. We recommend scheduling your move seven or more days in advance to ensure top-notch service.

    When you decide on a move date, Moving of America Moving guarantees to pick up on that day. If you require a guaranteed delivery date, you need to inform your Moving Advisor. Depending on the size of the shipment, there may be an additional charge for a guaranteed delivery date. We guarantee delivery anywhere in the contiguous US within fifteen business days.

    Yes. We offer professional moving services seven days a week, excluding major holidays.

    Don’t panic! If your moving date changes, simply contact your dedicated Moving Advisor. They’ll handle scheduling your new date. Please review our Rescheduling and Cancellation Policies for more details.

    While our movers are up to the task any time you hire us, the ideal period for moving is usually during the months when the weather is mild, i.e., during the Spring and Fall seasons.

    It is possible to carry out moves in any weather. However, unless the move is necessitated by an emergency, it is not recommended by us to move during stormy or rainy weather. Our first priority is to keep our crew and your belongings safe and secure. If there is any risk, we will promptly inform you of any change in plans

    Miscellaneous Queries

    Our crews use high-quality industry-standard packing materials. To protect and cushion a customer’s items, our loading service will ensure that items are wrapped with professionally woven moving blankets. We do not use paper pads, which often tear or rip during transport.
    Our inventory process is designed to accurately determine your space needs before the move. If the inventory you provide is accurate, there won’t be any additional charges for extra space. However, if there are more items than initially listed, resulting in the use of additional space, your moving cost may be adjusted accordingly. This adjustment would be based on the original per-foot rate to account for the extra footage used. To prevent any surprises, please ensure your inventory is as accurate as possible during the booking process. In the event that you decide to leave items behind, you have the flexibility to adjust your inventory up to 5 days prior to your move to guarantee accuracy. Following any updates, your dedicated moving advisor will provide an updated price based on your updated inventory. If you end up using less space than initially estimated and do not notify us beforehand, there will be no changes to your costs on moving day.
    Provided we have an accurate inventory and you do not make any changes to the move dates, your estimated costs should not change. In the event of unforeseen “Additional Services” (such as multiple flights of stairs or a “long carry” when the truck cannot get close to your home), these charges would be added to your total move price. The aim of our phone inventory process is to identify and account for any potential Additional Services, thereby ensuring they are included in your total upfront price. This way, there won’t be any surprises. This is all outlined in your Order for Service Agreement.
    Your dedicated Moving Consultant is always here to help you. Just give them a call at 201.862.8000. You can also email us info@MovingofAmerica.com. We’re excited to have your business!

    We used Moving of America for our move last month and could not have asked for a better experience; from the initial quote to move day, everything was handled professionally. The crew arrived on time and got straight to work, wrapping and packing our furniture carefully so nothing was damaged in transit. They even took extra care with a piano and a few fragile items we were nervous about moving. The team communicated clearly throughout the day and worked efficiently without ever feeling rushed. Pricing was fair and matched the quote we were given upfront, with no surprise fees at the end. Moving is usually stressful, but this crew made the whole process smooth and easy. I would highly recommend Moving of America to anyone looking for reliable local or long distance movers.

    They definitely pull the bait and switch. They tell you one price, and it's far above that, and then if you don't pay, they hold your stuff hostage. I would absolutely look elsewhere if you need moving or storage services. * How seriously do you take these reviews if it took you 5 years to respond?

    Leaving Cresskill felt overwhelming at first, but Moving of America made it manageable. Santiago, Rolando, and Lisa worked steadily the entire day and treated our belongings with respect. They made sure fragile items were secured properly and handled the heavy furniture with no problems. Their teamwork was impressive to watch. By the end of the move everything arrived safely and exactly where we asked.

    I recently used Moving Of America for city-to-city move from Lakewood to Denver, and I couldn’t be happier! The crew was friendly and efficient, making the whole experience enjoyable rather than stressful. Their storage services offered the perfect solution for my temporary housing situation. Everything arrived in perfect condition, and I felt valued as a customer. If you want a smooth moving process, I highly recommend giving them a try!

    Moving Of America? Never again. I was lured in by their competitive pricing but regretfully found out that’s just a bait-and-switch tactic. They tacked on hidden fees for everything from packing to stairs, and I felt like I was being nickeled and dimed the whole time. It’s frustrating when a service leaves you feeling cheated rather than helped. I can’t recommend them.

    Moving of America was fantastic! From my first conversation with Joey, I knew I was in good hands. I talked about all the quotes I was receiving when reaching out to other companies and was able to get me an affordable and reasonable price. The day of my move was great! The crew was professional, took their time ensuring my furniture was protected, and completed my move right on the 3 hour mark! Jose and his guys where great! My father in law will be moving out of his house soon and this is the company I will be recommending!

    While moving is often thought of as a traumatic experience, thanks to Project Manager Joey, I had the best and easiest experience!! Joey was thorough in what I should expect and he was right on the money. My move crew, Danny, Rolando, and Rufino were the BEST! Punctual, professional, careful and efficient. A move could not have gone any better! Much appreciated was Kimberly for checking in to make sure all was going well. A totally positive experience for which I happily recommend their services to anyone planning a move!!! Thank you Movers of America!!

They built a plan based on my list and the move actually took slightly less time than was originally anticipated. Kim in the office was great with confirming everything and the foreman Geo a good job of explaining thing on the day of will 100% recommend this group and use them again of needed!

    Easy to work with, prompt, and careful. Nice to boot. I was given an estimate fairly quick after an in person consult, which I really appreciated since we were on a bit of a time crunch due to scheduling. It's obvious they really care, and my rep Joey really went above and beyond to take care of me and my little family. He even asked how my dachshund Dandy was after she was under the weather! I got 3 or 4 quotes when I looked around and Moving of America was right in the center price wise. I ultimately went with MA because the contract, rep, and workers made me feel confident that my belongings would arrive all in one piece, with care. Even though moving out of state has some challenges- like waiting for items to be shipped and coordinating- all of the details were accounted for and taken care of. Joey made this move as stress free as it could possibly be. I hope to not move again anytime soon (moving isn't fun, let's be real) but I will happily hire these guys again, absolutely!!
