"We provide professional long distance moving services for residential and commercial clients. Our licensed movers handle packing, loading, transport, unloading, and setup of furniture, appliances, boxes, and fragile or specialty items such as pianos, antiques, and artwork. We offer full-service moving, custom crating, short- or long-term storage, and last-minute moving solutions. Our team also specializes in student and senior relocations, ensuring a smooth, safe, and stress-free move. Free in-home estimates and personalized planning make every long distance relocation efficient and reliable. When searching for “professional movers near me,” choose Way2GoMoving — the right way to move.

"Where to start. We were promised that everything would be packed in one day. It took them 2 and the second truck arrived at 8:30PM on a Saturday night and they did not finish until after midnight. When the 2nd truck arrived over 12 days after pickup (we paid for 1-3 day expedited), it was 1 subcontracted person that arrived in the dark after 9 PM, spoke almost zero English, and did not assemble beds, tables, and other furniture as we contracted. Because they took 12 days to deliver our 2nd bed, we had to do an extended hotel stay that cost us another $1,500 over their blackmail cost increase when the first truck was already gone and the 2nd truck was needed. They lost and damaged about $2-3,000 worth of our belongings and then to try and get reimbursement you need to go through a fraud company called MovingClaims.net that make it almost impossible to file a claim. Do yourself a favor and go with a national professional company, not these clowns."

Blue Men Moving LLC is a locally owned and operated moving company. Our company goal is to provide the best possible moving experience for our customers.

"When we found ourselves moving for the second time in just six months, there was zero hesitation about who to call—Blue Men Moving, without question. After our first move, I wrote a review saying it felt like hanging out with a bunch of buddies. Well, these guys did not disappoint the second time around! They showed up with the same friendly faces, good energy, and plenty of laughter, and then proceeded to bust their butts from start to finish. I was especially ecstatic to see Burke again—it was comforting to have a familiar face in the mix. Along with Burke, we had Ryan C., Myron, Aaron, and Dylan. Truly another fantastic group of guys. They’ve mastered the perfect balance of working hard while still keeping things fun and upbeat. We can’t recommend them enough!"

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."

"I have a 2014 Sea Ray and my boat's gel coat was fading bad, even after weekly washing in-season and completely detailing prior to and after seasons. Still, a hard part formed between the hardtop and the cabin, something I figured was not going to be able to be fixed. Grant's team not only made the area where the hard part was look brand new, so did the rest of the boat. The gel coat looks amazing! They did a tremendous job and went beyond my expectations. I wasn’t just pleased with the finished product, their customer service was on point as well. Enett in the office kept constant communication with me, making things go very smooth. She was able to answer all of my questions. No other detailer will touch my boat now that I found these guys!"

FAQs for out-of-state moving service projects in Ravenna, OH

How much money you need to live comfortably in Hawaii varies based on your housing preferences, transportation needs, and lifestyle. Many residents find ways to manage on moderate incomes by choosing less touristy neighborhoods and adapting to local living patterns. Creating a detailed budget that accounts for housing, transportation, groceries, and utilities provides a clearer picture of your specific requirements.

Living in Hawaii on $3,000 monthly is possible with careful budgeting and lifestyle adjustments. Success largely depends on housing costs, which vary significantly between neighborhoods and islands. Many residents find shared living arrangements or smaller accommodations in less expensive areas help manage expenses. Prioritizing necessities, limiting dining out, and embracing local recreational options that don't require significant spending can help stretch your monthly budget while still enjoying island living.

The hidden costs of moving to Hawaii often include unexpected shipping surcharges, agricultural inspection fees, and initial setup expenses. Many newcomers are surprised by delivery access fees for difficult locations, temporary accommodation needs while waiting for household goods, and higher utility deposits. Island-specific expenses like specialized pest control services and humidity-resistant storage solutions may also become necessary. Building a contingency fund of 10 to 15% above your estimated moving budget helps accommodate these unforeseen expenses.

How long it takes to ship household goods to Hawaii depends primarily on your chosen shipping method and departure location. Standard ocean freight often requires three to six weeks from mainland ports, with shared containers sometimes taking longer due to consolidation schedules. Air shipping dramatically reduces transit time to days rather than weeks, but at significantly higher cost. Many residents adopt a hybrid approach, sending essential items by air while allowing bulk possessions to follow by sea.

Whether you need special permits to move to Hawaii depends on the possessions you’re bringing. While American citizens don't need immigration documentation, certain items face strict regulation. Agricultural products, plants, and some animals require special permits or inspection certificates. Vehicle importation requires specific documentation and potential emissions testing. Large shipping containers may need delivery permits in certain residential areas. Consulting with transportation specialists familiar with Hawaii's requirements helps avoid compliance issues.

The items you’re prohibited from shipping to Hawaii include numerous plants, seeds, and fresh produce that might introduce invasive species to the islands' delicate ecosystem. Certain animals face strict prohibition, particularly snakes and other potential invasive species. Hazardous materials, firearms without proper documentation, and controlled substances cannot be shipped. Review current prohibited items lists from shipping companies and Hawaii's Department of Agriculture before packing, as regulations can change, and violations may result in significant penalties.
