Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Do movers offer remote or virtual services?

Movers generally need to be present to do their job. But if you come across a mover’s profile that states they’re offering remote services, you can contact them to see what those services include. 

What is considered a local move vs. a long-distance move?

Local moves are among the most common moves. Unlike a long-distance move, a local move is typically less than 50 miles and does not cross state lines. Generally, a local move only takes one day, and movers tend to charge by the hour. 

The definition of a long-distance move may vary depending on the moving company. Generally, a long-distance considered to be any move of 400 miles or more. However, some say a long-distance move is over 50-100 miles. 

Local Move

A move under 50 miles

Long-Distance Move

A move over 50-100 miles or over 400 miles; may also be called an “interstate move” or “out-of-state move”

Out-of-State Move

A move that crosses state lines; may also be called an “interstate move” or “long-distance move”

Interstate Move

A move that crosses state lines; may also be called an “out-of-state move” or “long-distance move”

Intrastate Move

A move that begins and ends in the same state, typically beyond 50 miles

Interstate moves require additional legal preparation and will incur additional costs for distance, the amount and weight of your items, the preparation required and various other factors. Moving companies tend to do an initial weighing of the truck, which you should be present for.

A move that crosses state lines is considered an interstate move or an out-of-state move. Contrast this with an intrastate move, which begins and ends in the same state, but is typically above 50 miles. 

To determine whether your move is local or long-distance, contact the best movers in your area.

 

 

How much does it cost for long-distance movers?

Long-distance movers transport your belongings across the country for you. No more renting a trailer and road-tripping from state to state with your entire house hitched to your bumper. Long-distance movers make the move happen so you can fly to your new home, suitcase in hand, and wait for your furniture to arrive. Nationally, the average price range for long-distance movers is $1,490-$2,230. The distance you are moving and the number of cubic feet the movers have to transport will both affect cost. Another factor in long-distance moving costs is whether you choose to pay for an exclusive move or a consolidated move.

In an exclusive move, which is more expensive, your belongings are the only cargo on the moving truck. The movers travel directly to your new house and deliver your belongings on a scheduled day. A consolidated move is more affordable because the movers transport your belongings along with those of other people, saving them time and gas — which means you save money. The downside is that your belongings typically arrive with a two-week delivery window rather than on a prescheduled day. Read reviews to make sure you can trust the company with your possessions to ensure a peaceful moving process.

How much do you tip movers?

It’s recommended that you tip your movers individually around $4 to $5 per hour. For example, if a team of four movers spends a half-day (four hours) on your move, tip each mover $20. Or, some people tip 5% to 10% of their total bill for small moves and 15% to 20% for larger moves.

If you’re moving across state lines, you may hire different crews to load and unload your goods. In that case, divide the tips between both crews. It’s also a good rule of thumb to add a bit extra for tipping movers if you have special circumstances that have made the move harder, like a spiral staircase or an exceptionally heavy sofa. 

Can you move furniture by yourself?

You might be able to move smaller items like nightstands, small desks, chairs and small tables by yourself. However, it’s best to get a professional mover near you to move larger items such as couches, dressers, armoires and televisions. 

If you do decide to move furniture by yourself, carefully lift and lower items and take your time.

Is it cheaper to move your stuff or buy new stuff?

It often makes more financial sense to buy new stuff when you have the chance to sell furniture to offset the cost. The cost of moving your current furniture can sometimes be more than buying new things, particularly if the furniture is large or cumbersome to move. You can sell furniture online, or make a furniture donation and deduct it from your taxes (if it qualifies as a charitable contribution). Some places near you may even offer free furniture pickup when you choose to donate. 

If you have valuable furniture that would be costly to replace, however, it may be cheaper to move them. To find out which option is best for you, contact professional movers in your area to receive quotes and estimates.

Should I buy moving insurance?

Your homeowners or renters insurance policy may or may not protect your belongings if they get lost or damaged during a move. If you’re moving valuable items, or if you’re moving a great distance, it could be a good idea to invest in moving insurance.

Interstate movers are required to offer you full value protection and released value protection to help reimburse you in case of damage or loss. If you’re moving within your state, check with your state’s consumer affairs agency to see if your state has rules and requirements regarding moving insurance and valuation coverage.

How much does it cost to move a couch?

It costs around $290, on average, to move a couch. However, your actual cost will depend on a variety of factors. Couch movers will often quote the job based on the size of the couch, as well as how far it has to travel. A larger couch, such as a sectional, will likely cost more money to move.

On the other hand, smaller couches typically cost less, as there are fewer sections and fewer people are required to move it. Some couches may be very delicate due to their age, or they may have certain decorative details that complicate the moving process. These may cost more as well.

Contact professional furniture movers near you to get estimates for your move.

How do you move large pieces of furniture?

Moving large furniture can be done with help from the best movers in your area and careful planning. First, get an idea of how much the furniture weighs and how much each mover can manage. The next step is figuring out the path the furniture will take as it exits its point of origin and makes its way to its new home. Professional movers then use dollies, furniture protectors and personal safety gear for a safe, smooth move. 

How do I protect my furniture when moving?

To protect furniture when moving, get furniture protectors. These will help cushion accidental impacts that may occur while making your way through tight spaces. You can also use furniture sliders for hardwood floors, which can make moving heavy or awkward furniture across your floors a lot easier than lugging it all the way. 

A professional mover near you will likely have these and other moving equipment to ensure your furniture remains intact and doesn’t damage your new — or old — home.

The T Family Movers are a very reliable moving company. They were very helpful with the move overall and they kept up on the date of the move, letting me know if there were going to be delays with the move or if there was anything needed to ensure that the move goes well. Overall they are a great moving company with reliable workers who are helpful and understanding of the moving process.

The movers were late on the moving day. Could be due to another moving scheduled on the same day. However, they compensated with hourly rate.

The actual moving process was great. However, I scheduled the movers for noon. I was told they had another move that morning and might be about 30 minutes later. That 30 minutes was actually over 3 hours. They started the move at 3:20. The movers doing the work were professional, quick, and did a great job. Just don't be the second move of the day!!

All in all a great move. Johna and Cody were awesome. Efficient, effective, and personable in the move. The package we purchased was the small move which was 3 hours for $300. Although the move only took 2 hours, we were charged for 3.

As good an experience as moving can be. Initial quote and scheduling with Anthony was easy, and the four hired movers were punctual in arrival, efficient and careful in moving, and friendly throughout the whole process. Very pleased with the Right Track crew, and would definitely recommend their services for a local move.

I had a refrigerator I wanted to move to a basement storage room with a tight doorframe. Other moving companies had minimums like 2 hours for 3 movers that were unreasonable for my needs. Infinite Moving gave me a much more reasonable quote for this small job. They responded quickly and were flexible as my schedule needed to change. On moving day they gave me updates on their timing and did the move quickly and efficiently. I'd definitely hire these guys again next time I need help moving.

JS Movers was an absolutely amazing experience. I hired a different moving company originally. They original company text me the day of the move and told me they were going to be 4 hours late. This posed a problem because at my apartment we have a service elevator, but we could only use it until 5pm. They were going to show up at 4:30. I frantically jumped on Thumbtack to find another moving company to see if ANYONE could come sooner. I talked to Joseph from JS Movers and he told me they were in the middle of finishing up a move, but he would be able to come and help me soon. JS Movers showed up and were very friend, polite, and FAST! THEY GOT ME OUT OF MY ORIGINAL APARTMENT AND INTO THE NEW APARTMENT IN 1 HOUR 10 MIN. I was trying to help move boxes, but Joseph refused to let me help. He told me if I was paying for movers, and moving boxes myself, I wasn't getting my moneys worth. :) I love that they also provided a truck, brought moving equipment, safely packaged my items, and charged a flat rate. They were moving really quick, but were also very polite and friendly. If you need to hire movers, this is the company you want. I will definitely use JS movers again next time I need to move.
