"Moving from Michigan to Florida was not easy. I worked with Desire she was very helpful and couldn't ask for a nicer person. Efren did a great job packing our stuff. I was really worried about my Christmas scene that I put up every year. It arrived all in one piece. Very thankful for that. The only reason I'm giving them 4.5 on work quality is when they were unpacking our stuff they seemed to be in a big hurry. Still everyone we worked with was very nice and hard workers. I would hire them again if needed."

"The best moving company I’ve ever used—no need to look anywhere else. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!✨After reaching out to several companies in the downtown Chicagoland area, I chose Asher Movers and had the best experience. Ben was fantastic and the staff was highly responsive, and everything was on schedule—better than any other company I’ve worked with. Moving around the holidays, especially with kids, could have been stressful, but I’m incredibly grateful for how smooth this experience was. I was even able to focus on my workout without having to worry about a thing. Special shoutout to Isaiah, Marvin, and Manulo for their exceptional work. The movers were professional, friendly, and they were organized and meticulous with packing. They also did a perfect job assembling my furniture. I’m extremely happy with the entire process and will definitely refer them and use their services again. Highly recommend booking with them!"

Professional Moving Services, family owned and operated. Local Moving, Long Distance Moving, Professional packing services, crating services. Indoor climate controlled storage, long term or short term. Piano Moving, Safe Moving. Residential and commercial relocation. We are the industries leader in relocation services.
"The move started out good, in my opinion. The team of three workers packed very quickly all of my household items. I was pleased with the speed of getting my belongings packed. I arrived at my new location about 10 to 15 minutes before they arrived. I waited until they arrived and showed them how to get to the rear of the apartment building. I went upstairs to my apartment to unlock the door so they could begin bringing in the bags and boxes. I am alone. I don't have no friend or family member to assist me with supervising the team. One of the workers, Miguel, showed me my small antique lamp that got damaged. I said okay. He apologized for the damage. Later during the move I was told by Donna that my credit card could not be accepted for the Overtime charge of $123.27. Donna told me I must pay cash for the overtime charge which is not my fault. So once again, I left the workers alone with my belongings and went out to get the cash for the overtime and the $75 dollar tip for each worker. I spent an additional $348.27 with this company. $123.27 overtime plus $225.00 tips. After the workers left I felt that something was not right with the move. Later that evening I worked very hard opening the bags and boxes. To my dismay I discovered kitchen items, electronics, clothing, my expensive binoculars, glassware, baking pans, cellphone equipment gone missing. I came to the conclusion that Advanced Moving and Storage Inc is not a quality moving company. During my telephone conversations with Donna and the Owner I told them that I regretted hiring your company and I would never do business with you again. I am seeking a refund of the $889.00 for the Unpacking Service that I cancelled on Thursday May 29, 2025. Would also like to receive a full or 50 percent refund of the entire expenditures totalling $1755.78 (Visa) + $889.00 (Visa) + $123.27 (Cash) + $225.00 (Cash) Equals $2,993.05"

The financial equation depends largely on your furniture's quality and value. For inexpensive or heavily used items, purchasing replacements locally often costs less than paying shipping fees ranging from $800 to $3,000.
However, high-quality, custom, or sentimental pieces often justify shipping expenses. Compare your furniture's replacement value against shipping quotes to make an informed decision. Also consider environmental factors—reusing existing furniture creates less waste than buying new items.
Planning ahead for furniture shipping helps secure better rates and preferred scheduling. Book your shipping service several weeks before your desired delivery date to ensure availability and avoid rush charges.
Advance booking also provides time to arrange any special handling requirements, obtain appropriate insurance coverage, and prepare your furniture properly for transport. This foresight results in both lower costs and a smoother shipping experience.
For valuable furniture, standard carrier liability often provides insufficient protection. Consider full-value coverage that addresses actual replacement costs rather than basic weight-based compensation. Document your furniture's condition thoroughly with photographs before shipping, capturing any existing flaws or damage.
Review insurance policies carefully for exclusions related to improper packing or pre-existing conditions. Quality coverage provides peace of mind when shipping irreplaceable or high-value furniture pieces.
Proper preparation significantly reduces shipping damage risks. Begin by cleaning all furniture thoroughly and removing any detachable components like shelves, drawers, and hardware—store these items separately in labeled containers.
Protect wooden surfaces with appropriate protective materials and wrap furniture completely with moving blankets or bubble wrap, securing with stretch wrap rather than tape directly on surfaces. Document each piece's condition with detailed photographs before shipping as a reference for potential claims.
Document any damage immediately upon delivery, before signing acceptance paperwork. Take clear photographs showing the specific damage and note all issues on the delivery receipt, ensuring the delivery person acknowledges these notations. Contact the shipping company promptly to report the damage and begin the claims process according to their specific procedures. Retain all packaging materials until your claim is resolved, as these may be needed for inspection. Following the carrier's exact claim procedures improves your chances for a satisfactory resolution.
