    We chose Moving of America because of the good reviews, Joey the project manager was great, our local NJ pickup experience was genuinely excellent.. crew was professional, efficient, careful with our belongings, and overall gave us confidence that we had chosen the right company for our interstate move.

    Unfortunately, the interstate portion of the move completely ruined that experience.

    What we later discovered is that interstate moves are clearly not handled the same way as their local operations, despite being led to believe the move would remain within their own team. Once our shipment left NJ, communication, accountability, and overall professionalism changed.

    By that point, Moving of America had already collected the majority of the payment, while the remaining balance was due to the company handling the delivery.

    At delivery, the driver who was contracted out called me and said he didn’t think he could get into the neighborhood and that he would have to go and get a shuttle. I asked him how many guys he had, he indicated 2.. I said why don’t we use my own smaller moving truck instead, and the driver confirmed and to meet him a mile from our house with our truck.

    Only after we arrived at the transfer point, no helpers were there- only the driver and at that point, we were informed for the first time that because we used our own truck, delivery labor was cancelled entirely. This was never disclosed beforehand. No revised agreement or change in scope was provided or signed. We were suddenly left responsible for unloading, unwrapping, and moving an entire household into our home ourselves after arriving in our new state only hours earlier with two young children.

    The driver would not transfer the belongings into our truck until payment was made, despite the agreed delivery services no longer being performed as originally contracted.

    Because everything remained wrapped at the transfer point, there was no realistic ability to inspect our belongings for damage there. After completing the move ourselves and removing the wrapping inside the home, before having to return all of the moving blankets because the driver said MofA would charge him if he didn’t return all of them, we discovered damage to a dresser and mirror.

    What has been most disappointing is how the situation was handled afterward. Our move took place in February, and after more than a month of detailed back-and-forth communication attempting to resolve this professionally, the company ultimately stopped responding altogether. Multiple requests for the recorded phone call from the day of delivery were ignored. Formal complaints were filed with the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, yet even after those filings there was still no meaningful effort to resolve the situation.

    The only offer ever made was a $300 “goodwill” payment intended to cover both the damaged items and the significant delivery issues. Within the release documents for their “goodwill” offer you essentially waive your rights from later pursuing any public reviews related to your dispute and the company is not deemed responsible for anything, which is ironic because no responsibility was taken anyway. They provided no willingness to reasonably negotiate, no meaningful counteroffer, and no acknowledgment of the fact that the contracted delivery services were never actually completed.

    This review is not being written simply because issues occurred during a move — things happen stuff can break. It is being written because of the lack of transparency, the last-minute change in delivery execution, the refusal to provide requested documentation, and the complete lack of accountability once the interstate portion began.

    The local NJ team was genuinely very good, which honestly makes this even more disappointing. If you are considering Moving of America for an interstate move I genuinely hope your experience is much better then ours because our interstate experience was very different from what was represented upfront.

They were professional, courteous, and extremely careful with my parents’ belongings. They worked efficiently while still taking the time to make sure everything was handled properly, which meant a lot to our family.

    Thanks to Moving of America I had a stress-free and successful move. Office personnel was very organized and transparent about pricing. During moving day, office personnel called me multiple times to check in on the status of the move to make sure everything was running efficiently and smoothly.

    My foreman, Santiago, was professional, clearly communicated everything to me, and answered all my questions. All the workers assigned to my move were also professional, worked well together as a team, and handled all my possessions with care.

    Based on my experience, I highly recommend Moving of America and will definitely use them again in the future.

    What Does a Local Move in New Jersey Cost?

    You’re asking the right question about what local movers cost in NJ, and we’ll give you a straightforward answer. The cost of a local move in New Jersey depends on the size of your move, the number of movers required, truck access conditions, stairs or elevators, parking restrictions, and whether you need packing support. 

    Most local NJ moves range from $400 to $1,800, depending upon home size and access conditions. A straightforward apartment move with easy access is a very different & cheaper job as compared to a multi-bedroom home with a long carry, a freight elevator window, or parking permit requirements in a dense New Jersey municipality. That is why we do not use vague ballpark pricing. We build accurate local moving estimates based on your specific inventory, access conditions, timing needs, and any specialty items involved. 

    NJ Moving Cost Factors Always Transparent, Never Hidden

    • Distance: Local NJ moves billed hourly or flat-rate. Interstate moves quoted by weight and mileage. 
    • Home or office size: Number of rooms, total boxes , flights of stairs. 
    • Stairs, elevators, and walking distance: Affects crew time and labor. 
    • Parking access: Permit requirements vary by municipality. 
    • Packing services: Full-pack, partial-pack, or self-pack with materials provided. 
    • Specialty items: Pianos, artwork, antiques, wine collections, safes. 
    • Timing: Peak season (May–September), weekends, and same-day carry higher rates.

    We chose Moving of America because of the good reviews, Joey the project manager was great, our local NJ pickup experience was genuinely excellent.. crew was professional, efficient, careful with our belongings, and overall gave us confidence that we had chosen the right company for our interstate move.

    Unfortunately, the interstate portion of the move completely ruined that experience.

    What we later discovered is that interstate moves are clearly not handled the same way as their local operations, despite being led to believe the move would remain within their own team. Once our shipment left NJ, communication, accountability, and overall professionalism changed.

    By that point, Moving of America had already collected the majority of the payment, while the remaining balance was due to the company handling the delivery.

    At delivery, the driver who was contracted out called me and said he didn’t think he could get into the neighborhood and that he would have to go and get a shuttle. I asked him how many guys he had, he indicated 2.. I said why don’t we use my own smaller moving truck instead, and the driver confirmed and to meet him a mile from our house with our truck.

    Only after we arrived at the transfer point, no helpers were there- only the driver and at that point, we were informed for the first time that because we used our own truck, delivery labor was cancelled entirely. This was never disclosed beforehand. No revised agreement or change in scope was provided or signed. We were suddenly left responsible for unloading, unwrapping, and moving an entire household into our home ourselves after arriving in our new state only hours earlier with two young children.

    The driver would not transfer the belongings into our truck until payment was made, despite the agreed delivery services no longer being performed as originally contracted.

    Because everything remained wrapped at the transfer point, there was no realistic ability to inspect our belongings for damage there. After completing the move ourselves and removing the wrapping inside the home, before having to return all of the moving blankets because the driver said MofA would charge him if he didn’t return all of them, we discovered damage to a dresser and mirror.

    What has been most disappointing is how the situation was handled afterward. Our move took place in February, and after more than a month of detailed back-and-forth communication attempting to resolve this professionally, the company ultimately stopped responding altogether. Multiple requests for the recorded phone call from the day of delivery were ignored. Formal complaints were filed with the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, yet even after those filings there was still no meaningful effort to resolve the situation.

    The only offer ever made was a $300 “goodwill” payment intended to cover both the damaged items and the significant delivery issues. Within the release documents for their “goodwill” offer you essentially waive your rights from later pursuing any public reviews related to your dispute and the company is not deemed responsible for anything, which is ironic because no responsibility was taken anyway. They provided no willingness to reasonably negotiate, no meaningful counteroffer, and no acknowledgment of the fact that the contracted delivery services were never actually completed.

    This review is not being written simply because issues occurred during a move — things happen stuff can break. It is being written because of the lack of transparency, the last-minute change in delivery execution, the refusal to provide requested documentation, and the complete lack of accountability once the interstate portion began.

    The local NJ team was genuinely very good, which honestly makes this even more disappointing. If you are considering Moving of America for an interstate move I genuinely hope your experience is much better then ours because our interstate experience was very different from what was represented upfront.

    Best experience thus far. They were friendly, professional and efficient. The lead mover was awesome. They really took care of us and last minute. Highly recommend.
    We’ve moved a few times over the years, and this was one of the smoother ones. The team was polite, organized, and respectful with our belongings. That kind of consistency matters.

    Our move to Lyndhurst was handled professionally by Moving of America. Abel, Alex, and Oscar worked quickly but still paid attention to every detail. They wrapped every piece of furniture before loading it. The team stayed organized the entire time. Everything arrived safely and exactly where we asked.

    We hired Moving of America to move my parents’ home in Glen Rock, and I could not be happier with the experience. The crew, Santiago, Eddie, Kimberli, Julio, and Abel, were outstanding. They were professional, courteous, and extremely careful with my parents’ belongings. They worked efficiently while still taking the time to make sure everything was handled properly, which meant a lot to our family. They were respectful, well organized, and made a potentially stressful day go very smoothly. I highly recommend Moving of America and this team in particular.

    Thanks to Moving of America I had a stress-free and successful move. Office personnel was very organized and transparent about pricing. During moving day, office personnel called me multiple times to check in on the status of the move to make sure everything was running efficiently and smoothly.

    My foreman, Santiago, was professional, clearly communicated everything to me, and answered all my questions. All the workers assigned to my move were also professional, worked well together as a team, and handled all my possessions with care.

    Based on my experience, I highly recommend Moving of America and will definitely use them again in the future.

    New Jersey Moving Checklist: Your 4-Week Step-by-Step Guide

    Moving in New Jersey has its own rules such as COI requests, parking permits, building windows, and Tri-State traffic patterns. Use this below checklist to stay ahead of every detail.
    1

    Phase 1

    4 weeks out the logistics strategy

    • ✓ Walk every room and audit your inventory, to decide what is moving, what is being donated, and what needs junk removal before the truck arrives.
    • ✓ Get your precise moving quote. Do not settle for a ballpark. Schedule your free Smart Move Estimate → with Moving of America to lock in your rate.
    • ✓ Request your building Certificate of Insurance ("COI") in advance. When moving into a high-rise or managed property in Jersey City, Hoboken, or Fort Lee, most buildings require a COI naming them as additionally insured.
    2

    Phase 2

    2 weeks out the Jersey-smart prep

    • ✓ Secure parking permits: This is the number one cause of NJ moving day delays. Contact the Parking Authority in your town to reserve no-parking signs for our moving trucks. We will guide you and tell you exactly what your municipality requires.
    • ✓ Transfer your utilities: Make preparations in advance to transfer PSEG Electric and Gas, Suez or NJ American Water, and your internet provider. Schedule Optimum or Verizon Fios install for your first night in the new home.
    • ✓ Start packing non-essentials: Begin with wine cellar, library, seasonal decor, and out-of-season clothing. If you need professional help, Professional Packing Services NJ → and White Glove Packing Services → from Moving of America are available.
    3

    Phase 3

    1 week out final details

    • ✓ Pack your essentials bag: Keep ready one bag with 48 hours of clothes, medications, phone chargers, and toiletries. NJ traffic happens be ready.
    • ✓ Confirm elevator reservations: If you are in a managed building, confirm your moving window with the concierge or building manager at least 3 days out.
    • ✓ Defrost and drain appliances: A day before moving, empty the refrigerator and drain gas-powered equipment to avoid any accidents during transit.
    • ✓ Confirm your move details: 2–3 days before, touch base with your Moving of America coordinator to confirm arrival time, crew size, and any specialty items for priority handling.
    4

    Phase 4

    Moving day execution mode

    • ✓ Clear all paths: Clear your hallways, stairwells, and walkways before the crew arrives a clear path keeps the clock moving. Our team brings floor and wall protectors so you can stay stress-free.
    • ✓ Meet your Lead Foreman: Your crew leader will walk the home with you to tag high-value items such as pianos, artwork, antiques, and wine collections for priority handling and documentation.
    • ✓ Final property walkthrough: Before signing off, check every closet, basement, attic, and storage area.
    • ✓ Confirm destination details: Before loading begins, confirm the correct delivery address, floor, elevator access, and any building-specific delivery restrictions.
