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.

What a pleasant moving experience. The guys were very professional and well-trained. They handled my possessions as though they belonged to them. They loaded each box and furniture with care. I will request this team when I move again. I will most certainly recommend this company to my friends. 
This is the best moving experience I have encountered. quotes

The guys were professional, friendly and efficient. They arrived on time and were careful with my items which included many vintage electronics items and music related items and media. They moved artwork of mine and many antiques and everything was safely delivered at the new place. The price was terrific - only $485 for a 2 bedroom and 2 bath house with the new place being like 7 miles away. Thank you so much!! I gave a $95 tip to the two guys they were so good. I just gave them $580 and happily bought them lunch as well because I was very thankful and just thrilled. quotes

Indeed, moving is one of the most stressful of life's events... it sucks! However, Milestone Relocation Solutions was absolutely one of the best moving experiences I've had, and there have been many so I am qualified to compare and comment. From the moment I called to inquire about prices, I found the customer service to be outstanding. On move day, the movers were professionally dressed, professionally mannered, on time, and careful with the family antiques I was moving. They wrapped my items beautifully and treated them with care throughout the move. Again, their level of professionalism and customer service was very impressive. I would definitely use them again and refer them to friends and family.quotes

Milestone movers helped with my local move (less than 1 mile) and I was very pleased with the service they provided. The move coordinator provided a prompt quote and explained their policies, he even contacted me right after the quote to tell me that there was an added charge for a high demand move day - I appreciate the advance notification and opportunity to cancel. The movers were very nice and professional; the entire move was completed in the 3 hour window. They even helped move some furniture at the new house from one floor to the other. Overall very pleased and would recommend Milestone Relocation Services. quotes

Used Milestone for a move within Arlington, VA. I will definitely be calling them back! They were quick to provide a quote, offered a competitive price, arrived on-time, sincerely considerate of the time frame I received my quote for and worked hard to remain within it. Overall, wrapped and carried my belongings in good condition and a pleasant attitude. Highly recommend to others in the area! quotes

I was very pleased with Milestone Relocation on my daughters moving day. The movers were very fast and efficient. They were able to cover my furniture and move my furniture within 2 hours they were running at the time of my move. I was pleasantly surprised when my movers were able to complete the move within the 2 hours. My movers showed up on time and began working right away. The movers took care all my furniture. These guys at Milestone Relocation were by far the best moving company I have ever used. These guys at Milestone Relocation hustled the whole time and were very fast. I would not hesitate to recommend Milestone Relocation to my friends. I would definitely use this company again in the future. quotes

Moving to another state and needed the truck loaded. For 3 movers and 2.5 hours, the price was competitively right. Good and prompt service. The truck was packed very well; and I felt very safe as I travelled 8 hours away as nothing would break or be damaged. Upon unloading, I found I was right. Very well done! Thankful to have everything out and in the truck within the agreed time limit as well. very reasonable, would use their service again. quotes

The movers arrived on time, did a fantastic job, and were efficient, careful and professional. I was impressed and very happy. I also was so pleased that one company can provide all the services - driving, moving, loading, offloading, etc. I highly recommend Milestone. quotes

Ashley Appel

Customer Testimonials Face

I would give this company an A . The gentleman who helped me on the phone was very polite and helpful with all of the options, pricing, and services that the company offered. The movers called prior to their arrival, as promised, and showed up exactly on time. They came with all the proper equipment, and moved everything out in a timely manner. They expertly disassembled and reassembled all of the items. My items were packed neatly and arrived in my new home without so much as a scratch. The movers were very polite to my wife, and to conclude the transaction, they were very knowledgeable with the paperwork. I highly recommend this company to anyone considering a move in the DC area. quotes

Thank you for setting this up Richard. The guys you sent were very nice and very professional. I was also thrilled when they called to ask if I would like them to come earlier than my appointment time. The timing couldn't have been more perfect and they finished within the quoted time frame. Excellent service! I would definitely recommend. quotes

Milestone was recommended to me by a friend. Crew showed up real well prepared, with a right size truck, and equipment. They handled my pretty solidly sized house real well. Movers worked around the clock with no breaks or complaints. I was pretty impressed. Thank you for a job well done! quotes

Randy Thomas

Milestone came highly recommended to me by a friend. The salesperson was very courteous when scheduling my move and answered all of my questions. He was also very prompt with answering questions via email. The movers called me on schedule before arriving, loaded all of items with care but also worked quickly. All of the items were unloaded quickly with care and placed in the new location. Both movers were very friendly and did not complain about carrying furniture up three flights of stairs. quotes

Milestone Relocation workers were prompt, courteous, professional and thorough in moving my family from the old apartment to the new one. They were able to complete everything in the allotted time frame and there were no hidden or add-on costs or fees. I highly recommend this company. quotes

Hi Edison!

I just had to take a second out of my day to say thank you. My move was so smooth and perfect. The 2 movers that you sent were the best. I am thoroughly happy and appreciative.

I won't hesitate to refer. quotes

I highly recommend Milestone Relocation Solutions. I needed last minute help in moving some heavy items onto a rental truck. After calling other moving services with no availability, Milestone had no problem with fitting me in for the day and time I wanted even though it was at the end of the month. The customer service specialist was friendly and made sure I understood the fee structure up front. The moving team did an excellent job. They called ahead to let me know they were on their way. The team had all the tools necessary to disassemble my bed frame. They worked fast and really organized the items in my rental truck to maximize space. I highly recommend the Milestone Relocation team and will use them again if I ever have to move. quotes

Milestone provided good, fast and friendly service. They were available for a last minute move.

Although we didn't intend to hire movers at the beginning, we decided to hire a moving company to help us with all of our stuff - it was way too much for me and my girlfriend! It was really easy to set up a time with this company for the same day.

Josh and Alex did a fantastic job in a very short amount of time, for which we are very thankful.

I will pass on the good word about Milestone to everybody I know, and will definetely call them again if and when we need to move again! quotes

Art W.

Dropping couple of lines to say thank you for a quick and more than satisfactory service. I experienced no problems whatsoever, although was dreading the move day more than upcoming elections.

Thanks again - next time I move, I am calling Milestone Relocation. I will also not hesitate to send any business from people I know your way. quotes

Frank L.

Customer Testimonials Face

This was our first time using a moving company and we couldn't be happier with the results! Gabriel and his team were there on time and ready to work. We were stunned at how quickly they emptied our 900 sq ft apartment in a 15 floor high rise! The entire process of moving from Arlington, VA to NW Washington, DC took just over 3 hours. We anticipated it would take closer to 5 hours so you could imagine our surprise! If anyone we know ever needed movers, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Milestone! The move was hassle-free and for that we are grateful! quotes

Terry Lord

Customer Testimonials Face

I am a young woman living in DC and was dealing with my move entirely by myself. The movers were polite, professional and beyond patient when the staff at my new apartment building were not prepared. The movers even gave me a ride home so I didn't need to call a cab. They were wonderful and I would definitely use Milestone again! quotes

Rachael Picard

Customer Testimonials Face

I used Milestone Relocation Solutions for my July 29th move. The movers were on-time, fast, and professional. I took advantage of the $199 move special, which provided me with 2 movers for 2 hours. You can't beat the service I received for the price I paid. It's definitely one of the best moving deals available. I am very happy and I would definitely recommend Milestone. quotes

Juanita Reed

Customer Testimonials Face

I have been meaning to write to you ever since I moved a month ago, though things have been kind of crazy. What I wanted to tell you is what a fantastic job Rudy Gonzalez and his team did for me. What they did for me was really heroic, and almost impossible. I think they must've worked in 36 hours on my move, and only a third of that in transit. I don't know when they got any sleep. quotes
