What are small movers and are they the same as cheap movers?

Answer

The term Small Movers refer to companies that specialize in moves that are too small to meet the standard minimums set by commercial van lines. Small Movers normally have no minimum weight or volume requirements and can also ship items that exceed the maximum set by conventional mail services.

Cheap Movers is usually a term used to look up moving companies when one is in need of a mover. Many use this term when they search for movers online in hope of finding a cheap quote. For partial relocations (or small moves), Small Movers will normally come in cheaper than large van lines as they do not have the minimum requirements, however, the terms Small Movers and Cheap Movers are not considered the same.

Can you suggest a good moving company in or near Savannah, GA? Our last move was a disaster. Without getting into too many details, I’m afraid to get scammed again. We’re moving again in a few months to Exeter, NH, and I need to find a company. We have a lot of really very heavy furniture, so moving ourselves and renting a truck just isn’t an option. I have found some companies through internet searches, but I am really looking for personal recommendations. Thank you very much. Barbara

Answer

We won’t be able to give you any specific recommendations. If you can’t get any referrals from anyone you know, the internet would be an easy place to look for one.

To minimize your risks, you should verify the licensing and insurance of moving companies on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s website. Follow this Link. Once on the website, you will need to click on “Licensing and Insurance” under FMCSA searches. You will then need to provide name and location of the company or its license numbers (can be found on web sites or quotes).

You can also check for membership with moving associations (although for itself it does not necessary guaranty that the company is fully licensed), and make sure you do get everything in writing, including the “Rights and responsibilities” booklet (the booklet can be found on and printed from the FMCSA website or downloaded as PDF version from their site). It explains the interstate moving process, charges and regulations.
For the booklet and additional consumer information (including tips on how to Protect Yourself From Moving Fraud visit the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Protect Your Move website.

I need to find local movers in DC. However, when I search online (for movers Washington DC) I get moving quotes from moving companies in MD or Virginia movers. Can I use movers in MD? I am really looking for the best moving companies Washington DC.

Answer

Any company that is licensed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to engage in interstate relocation can provide you with a moving quote and moving services. If you are planning an interstate relocation you might even receive quotes from New York or California movers for example (you may find that a company that has offices as far as CA or FL or NY might have trucks in your area and will be able to provide a quote). To verify licensing use this link to the FMCSA  S.a.f.e.r. system. On the website, you will need to click on “Licensing and Insurance” under FMCSA searches. You will then need to provide name and location of the company or its license numbers (can be found on web sites or quotes).
Please also be advised that some states are regulated and have specific requirements and licensing.
Also, the rates may vary, especially if the company is not local (for travel time and fuel surcharges). Make sure you get estimates in writing and that you read this article about what to look for in moving quotes.
In any case, for list of local movers based in DC, use the following link to our DC Movers by state directory.

Hello! I need a guide to moving to nyc.

I believe a similar question had already been answered on this blog.  However, if you are looking for movers, check local listings on New York Movers page or use one of the  moving directories on our site to receive multiple moving quotes. The tips on this website should be helpful whether you are planning a local move winthin NY or moving interstate. Otherwise, if you are looking for a general guide to New York City, I am afraid we will not be able to assist you.

I am looking for a company for moving and storage in New York. I’ll be doing local moving in New York and was looking for local apartment movers in New York that can offer me a month to month storage as well. I did a search online for moving and storage NY, NYC moving and storage, moving and storage New York City, moving and storage New York and it seems that no matter what search words I used, I kept getting pretty much the same list of results. I also saw on your website there’s a list of local moving companies in NY, but I was wondering how do I know which ones to contact? Do I really need to call 10-20 different companies to get prices on moving and storage fees? It’ll take me forever. Can you recommend a company or two or give me any other suggestions? There has to be an easier way for me to manage this. I work full time and can’t be on the phone all day long for that.

Answer

Unfortunately we do not give any recommendations or referrals. However, you can most definitely use one of the moving directories on our site to receive multiple moving quotes for moving services in NY. It is free of charge and with no obligation and should be less time consuming as it allows you to receive several quotes by submitting only one request. Of course you can also submit to more than one directory to receive additional quotes.
