LEARN WHAT WE DO - AND HOW YOU CAN HELP - TO KEEP YOU AND OUR MOVERS SAFE DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC


Moving Tips: Make Your Move Easy

Planning is the key to a successful move. If you plan in advance and take your time preparing, your move will avoid being hectic and chaotic, and you actually will be able to enjoy your new place sooner.

Another important factor is to follow the rules of thumb and advice outlined below: these are well known techniques to ease your relocation.

  • 1. Make sure you ask your potential mover if they are insured: standard insurance should be built into the price and they should not be charging for it.
  • 2. Make sure you understand their pricing: whether it's a flat rate (do they charge by piece?), or hourly rate.
  • 3. Find out about their cancelation policy: you never know what life will throw at you.
  • 4. Ask for a contact person's name and phone number on the move day.
  • 5. Ask if there are additional charges for large or heavy items, such as pianos, big screen TV's, etc.
  • 6. Also, inquire if the rates are the same for regular weekdays and weekends, and if there are charges for flights of stairs.
  • 7. Ask if your movers charge for the travel time from their office to your location, and back to their office.
  • 8. Ask your moving consultant for tips and advice to make your relocation easier and less stressful.
  • 9. Ask about minimum time and charges (2, 3, 4 hours?)
  • 10. Inquire if your moving company offers packing/unpacking services.
  • 11. Book your moving date and time as early as possible, preferably, 2-4 weeks in advance.
  • 12. Avoid placing items from different rooms into same boxes: it might be a nightmare during unpacking stage.
  • 13. Use wardrobe boxes to pack your clothes.
  • 14. Use small boxes (medium, if you really have to) for your books: boxes get heavy fast!
  • 15. Have larger appliance's manuals: see if there are any special moving instructions, or how to disconnect/hook them up later.
  • 16. Stack dishes upwards when packing.
  • 17. Never pack important documents with other belongings: make a separate box, and consider carrying it yourself.
  • 18. General rule of thumb: small boxes for heavy items, medium and large - for lighter ones.
  • 19. Although used boxes can save you money, you do not know if they are strong enough to be used again. Try to avoid using them, and if you do, do not put anything fragile in them.
  • 20. Do not get rid of any of your children items: children can take moving extremely hard, and missing their favorite toys will not make it any easier.
  • 21. Label all the boxes on top and the sides, it will make unpacking easier and smoother.
  • 22. Use packing tape instead of duct tape.
  • 23. Electronics should be packed in their original boxes. If unavailable, use bubble wrap to protect it.
  • 24. Items that you do not use on a daily basis should be packed in advance, as early as possible.
  • 25. Remember: laws prohibit moving companies from transporting hazardous and explosive items, such as gasoline, ammunition and explosives.
  • 26. Pack a box with the items you will need right after the move, and make sure you know where it is before your movers leave.
  • 27. Do not interlock the tops of your boxes: always tape them.
  • 28. Clean attic, basement and other non-frequently used areas as soon as you find out you are moving.
  • 29. Use special boxes when packing fine china and clothes.
  • 30. Stay positive: every ending is a new beginning. Although moving may be stressful, if you plan ahead and use these simple moving tips, you will be able to enjoy your new residence much quicker.

I must say that this is the best encounter that I have ever had with a moving company! They were very professional, efficient, courteous and of course on time. I have no complaints. They actually finished an hour early. They ensured that all of my items were neatly loaded and unloaded on and off the truck and ensured that every item was placed securely in my new location. quotes

My family and I used this company for a move a few days before Christmas. The crew, Martin and John, were wonderful. They were polite, communicated with us to tell us when they would be there, etc.  When we got to the storage unit, they were pleasant to work with and accommodated my husband's wishes about how and where to place certain items.
The crew worked quickly and therefore kept our cost down. We will certainly use this company again and highly recommend them. quotes

I had to move my stuff out of a shared house quick and in a hurry because of a crappy situation. I called on a Thursday to book a move for that Sunday. The person I talked to suggested Monday because it was cheaper, so we set it up for Monday. I asked about the $199 2 hour move because I only had one bedroom and a living room to move. The guy on the phone told me the movers would disassemble and wrap everything. We scheduled a move between 8 and 9 am. The movers were great. They had to climb lots of stairs to move stuff from my third floor bedroom. They moved all my things into a storage unit 10 minutes away and they packed the storage unit so well, I still have room for more things in there. They went slightly over the 2 hours, but didn't charge me the ridiculous extra $149 for another hour. They did an amazing job and I would definitely use them again. quotes

Moving just a few blocks doesn't seem like much, but it is as much work as moving across the country. Milestone's movers were there and emptied my apartment in a careful and fast manner. Unloading into my new place took only minutes; I took advantage of their special, and am so happy I did. Would highly recommend them for anyone moving. quotes

Milestone helped me with a move at the end of September and yet again they did a fantastic job! I've been a repeat customer of theirs over the years because of the professional, friendly and reliable service I always receive from them. They are on time, efficient, careful with the items they move and very reliable!!! They are professionals in every sense of the word! I would use them again! Thank you Milestone!!! quotes

The three movers were professional, strong and hard working. I was their second move of the day and they were to arrive between 2 and 4, they contacted me at 3 to let me know that they would be there at 4 and they were. They worked the whole time and were very fair about charging for the time, no games were played. I would not hesitate to recommend these guys to anyone. Awesome job! quotes

My move was only a short distance, going from a house to an apartment. The main area of concern for me was the heavy boxes of books to be moved to my second floor apartment. The movers did it in a very efficient manner and I was pleased with their service. Although the move took longer than the estimated 2 hours, it was definitely worth my money. quotes

This was my first experience in using a mover and I am happy to say that Milestone made it a very pleasant experience. The moving consultant was professional and helpful. The movers were very efficient and accommodating. They moved me in less than four hours (which included driving time). I would definitely consider Milestone in the future and would recommend them to others. quotes

We just needed to move big items from one bedroom apartment to a new apartment a mile down the road so we used the $199 small move special. Price included 2 hours of moving and the two guys were very efficient and finished in 1.5 hours. They were very nice and professional. quotes

Hi Jim,

Thank you for the excellent service in making our move as easy as possible. I am impressed by your company's good communication and customer service. Also, please know that the crew you sent was fantastic. Steve (the leader), Derrick and Donald were friendly, professional, and very efficient. Please take good care of them, as they are wonderful ambassadors for Milestone.

By all means, please feel free to include me as a reference for your company. If all your crews are as good as Steve and his guys, then I am confident to endorse Milestone. I will advertise Milestone to any friends of mine looking for a mover. And rest assured, the next time I move, I will call Milestone again.

Best regards to you and the rest. quotes

Milestone Relocation did an amazing job with my move last week. Move took under 3 hours and I haven't found any damages nor scratches on my walls or furniture. Price doesn't bite either - as a matter of fact, they have a really straight forward and no surprise price structure.

I will be recommending Milestone Relocation to my friends and relatives whenever they need speedy and friendly moving help.

Many thanks! quotes

I used these guys for my recent move. It was a huge move, 5 people and 2 fully loaded trucks. Although I wasn't moving far, the volume alone made it a very complicated move. I wasn't too eager for a moving day to come.

Josh, Tom and Alex arrived on time, at 9am, which falls within 8-10am slot I reserved. They came fully prepared: the truck was loaded with blankets, wrap, dollies and other supplies and tools.

Everything was properly wrapped, my furniture was disassembled quite efficiently. When I saw them load the truck, I realized I was worrying for no reason: these guys were more than capable to handle my move professionally!

I am extremely satisfied with the services provided by Milestone Relocation Solutions, and couldn't be happier I trusted these guys with my move. Great price, excellent service, friendly office staff. What more can you ask for? quotes

My daughter needed to move for the 4th time in less than 15 months. I called milestone and was very happy to watch while the two man crew carried everything from the 3rd floor to the truck--no elevator. They had everything loaded promptly and unloaded even faster--the new apartment had an elevator. I was very satisfied and would use them for the next move. Thank you! Julie. quotes

Moving is not easy and god help if the movers are rude or just unprofessional . I chose this company coz they provided me with the best rate and the day and time i wanted ...My whole moving was just awesome. Frank enough; there was no tension or hassle throughout my entire move.The crew was polite, very quick in their work, and they were very careful with my stuff ..the employees were the nicest movers I've met. quotes

Poonam G.

Customer Testimonials Face

I requested same crew that moved me last time since I was really satisfied with the work Mike and Tommy did. However, I had to settle for John and Randy instead, but as it turned out, that made no difference. The move went as good as my previous one. I thought perhaps the first time I got lucky, but my second moving experience with Milestone proved they have really good crews. No matter what crew is assigned to your job, seems like one team will nail it down better than the other. THANK YOU. quotes
