"Communication and service were outstanding. We contacted Tony on short notice and asked for an out of state move the week between Christmas and New Year's. Tony was able to move things around and accommodate our schedule. Very professional and safe move. When we arrived at our destination, bad weather was in the forecast, so Tony expedited the move in, working into the evening, to finish it before the snow arrived. All in all, a very positive experience, and would strongly recommend."

Long Distance Moving & Storage. Household, Commercial, International, Corporate services available. Our Mission is To exceed expectations on every move. We live this day in and day out. Our service is top notch and fully efficient. Our trucks are perfectly equipped for moving with Pads, dollies, Plastic and much more. We provide Long Distance Moves across the entire country, directly from our West Coast HUBS located in AZ, CA, OR and WA. Or, we team with our partner companies to complete moves together. We are proud to provide a service that no other company offers; Dedicated Trucks. This means that your belongings are loaded on the truck and not combined with anyone else’s items (from/to west coast only). They are not transferred to other trucks or facilities in route which causes damage and loss of items (typical with van lines). We have a set loading day and unloading day. This is by far the safest way to ship. Our interstate rates are per 24ft moving van that holds up to 8,500lbs or 1400CuFt. Some customers require one truck and some require more. One truck holds the average 1800SqFt.

"I cannot say enough great things about All Service Moving—and ESPECIALLY Rico and Reyes, who were absolute lifesavers for my last-minute move. After another moving company bailed on me the day before my scheduled move, All Service swooped in and saved the day. Rico and Reyes showed up EARLY, upbeat, and ready to tackle the challenge—even with super heavy furniture that usually requires a 4-person crew. Somehow, the two of them handled everything like pros without a single scratch or ding—on the furniture or either home. What really stood out was how personable, kind, and thoughtful they were. They moved quickly and efficiently, knowing I was paying by the hour, but never once sacrificed care or quality. They were kind to my mom (who was helping me out), and so sweet to my two dogs too. If you’re planning a move, ask for Rico and Reyes by name. They went above and beyond, and I want their team to know what a fantastic job they did. They deserve every bit of recognition. 100% recommend."

Dodge Moving and Storage Co., Inc. is a full service relocation company with over a century of experience specializing in the transportation and storage of household goods, electronics, high-value products, office/industrial equipment, record storage, and asset management. Additional DBAs - Dodge/Mayflower Moving & Storage, Mayflower, Mayflower Transit.

"DO NOT USE. Very shady. They will try to take advantage of you. In my case, they gave me a bid and cost for 2 movers. They sent 3 (I was never asked nor given a quote what that would cost). While the move went faster, they tried to bill me for 3 movers. When I called them on it, they adjusted back to the 2 but then acted like they were doing me a favor for charging them what they quoted in the first place. They also took advantage of me by the movers having me initial their start/end times on a blank form that they filled in the times later. I have documented evidence that they did not start until 8:30am and also have my copy of the blank form but the movers marked their start time as 8am effectively charging me for a half hour I didn't use. If you do have to use them, keep a close eye on what they do as they will try to take advantage of you then act like they're doing you a favor. Barb, their employee, is really terrible at customer service as well. The movers were careful and nice. But it fell apart with the front office. They will claim they "were more than fair" by reimbursing you some but you will not come out ahead. They will find a way to take your money inappropriately."

FAQs for out-of-state moving service projects in Columbia, IL

Monthly rental prices for shipping containers range from $50 to $500, with variations based on container size, condition, and rental duration. This option proves economical for temporary needs like construction storage or short-term inventory management. 

Many rental companies include regular maintenance in their agreements, eliminating long-term upkeep concerns. Comparing local providers can help identify the most competitive rates for your specific requirements.

Yes, proper site preparation remains important even for temporary storage applications. A level surface helps prevent container doors from binding and maintains structural integrity. Simple preparation might include clearing vegetation, creating a gravel pad, or placing concrete blocks at the container's corners. This foundation work prevents moisture accumulation underneath the container and reduces the risk of settling or shifting over time.

While financing options exist for container purchases, they vary significantly by lender and intended use. For residential applications, particularly container homes, some construction lenders may include the container in overall project financing. For business purposes, equipment financing or business loans might apply to container purchases. Researching specific financing programs designed for alternative housing or storage solutions may yield the most favorable terms.

The choice between multiple small containers versus one large unit depends on your specific project requirements. Several smaller units provide a natural division of spaces and greater flexibility in layout configurations. However, a single larger container offers more continuous interior space and often involves simpler site preparation. Your decision should consider factors like available space, budget constraints, intended use, and future expansion possibilities.
