At College HUNKS, we have proudly completed over one million moves nationwide. Our long-distance moving service delivers a premium, hassle-free experience that protects your belongings at every step. While most moving companies handle your items up to eight times as they transfer them between warehouses and trucks, we touch your goods only twice: once at load and once at unload. Your items stay on the same truck with the same dedicated driver for the entire relocation, giving you unmatched consistency, accountability, and peace of mind. Our highly trained HUNKS are experts in packing and protecting furniture, valuables, and delicate items, ensuring everything arrives safely and on time. Choose College HUNKS for your long-distance move and experience the confidence that comes from a team that treats your belongings like their own.

"I have moved several times in the last six years and let me tell you it has been a nightmare. I don?t write reviews but felt I had to because of my recent moving experience with College Hunks. They showed up on time, fully prepared, and worked their butts off from start to finish. What I appreciated most was how they kept letting us know what they were doing and checking in before moving anything delicate. This was one of the easiest moves we have ever done."

"had a fantastic experience with Eastland Movers for my long-distance move from Frederick, Maryland to Key West, Florida. From the very beginning, their communication was clear, professional, and honest. The crew arrived on time, handled all of my belongings with great care, and worked efficiently without rushing. Everything arrived in perfect condition, which was especially impressive given the distance. The price was extremely reasonable at $2,000, which was almost $500 less than other quotes I received. There were no hidden fees or surprises. If you’re looking for a reliable, affordable, and professional moving company, I highly recommend Eastland Movers. I would absolutely use them again."

"Movers USA did a fantastic job! They explained everything about how they would pack, wrap furniture and lable each box and item. There were three movers, they worked so effortlessly and efficient. Great teamwork. The weather was horrible, gusts of wind, temperatures below 0 with the wind but it didn't slow them down and they didn't cancel.

"I wish to file a complaint against an Angi referral. The company is Great Job Moving & Storage. GJ marketed themselves as a “long haul” moving company. However, when I visited their website, they operate in a 3 state area, Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. When I told them I needed to move from La Plata, MD, to Texas, they said they could move me to Texas. This was the beginning of my nightmare! My POC with GJ was Heather, (703) 598-6825. I retained them to move one bedroom and 50 boxes, that I packed myself. I emailed Heather my inventory. Although, I packed 50 boxes, and did not require packing services, I received paperwork from Heather for 3-bedrooms. I explained to Heather that I did not have 3-bedrooms of household goods, and I would not need packing supplies, as I would use my own boxes, paper, and packing tape. In my opinion, GJ charged for some packing materials to justify costs, i.e., a roll of black plastic wrapping cellophane tape for $45 and probably storage. Heather provided no justification or written paperwork for the $1700 I paid in advance and there were no itemizations. When, I asked Heather about liability, she said GJ was only liable for minimum recovery damages. Heather was the only POC, I ever communicated with during this whole ordeal. She could not give me the total cost for the move which I asked for several times. There was no Bill of Laden. She required a $100 deposit which I paid. GJ picked up my household goods on September 18, 2025. Heather did not tell me my stuff would be stored until GJ could find another moving company going to Texas! On my pickup day, September 18, 2025, I asked how long it would take to arrive in Texas, not knowing the furniture would be stored, since this was not disclosed. Heather told me it would have to be taken back and weighed to determine the cost! She said it would be 14 days which I considered extremely long, since most carriers deliver within 7-10 days, or sooner. When I called Heather to express my frustration for the time to deliver to Texas someone in the office mentioned, that it could be sooner if GJ could get it on a truck going to Mississippi!! In my opinion, there was deceit and entrapment. Had GJ been forthcoming about all this, I would not have selected them and gone with another moving company! My household goods finally arrived on Monday, October 6, 2025! The moving company was Green Line Relocation. This was not the company who picked up my goods. This person, Ali, called me at 1:00 PM on Sunday, October 5, 2025, and informed me he was dropping off my household goods the next day, Monday, October 6, 2025 between 8-10 AM. He said to have cash or a Money Order for $2903.40. He was rude! He wanted to know if I was going to pay and that he was not unloading his truck, until in paid cash or Postal Money Order! I considered this as “holding” my furniture “hostage” until I paid! I was offended and angered!! He was reluctant to assemble my Queen- size bed because he said he was just dropping off and he had another load to drop off! Ali told me he did not have time to assemble my bedroom, although I paid GJ to pick up and assemble! Ali eventually agreed to assemble my bed and dresser in haste and damaged my bed. In my opinion, he was disgruntled and angry during this whole ordeal with me. Ali, whom I believe, is Middle Eastern, refused to discard the packing materials and when I objected to him leaving the packing materials, i.e., boxes, plastics, trash, etc., he directed me to call somebody he knew because he was taking away the “trash”. I have paperwork, photos, and vides, of the damage that was done to my household goods. I plan to seek the maximum allowable under GJ’s contract, due to damaged boxes, mold and mildew, water damage, irreplaceable items, and broken delicate items in boxes, due to the mishandling of my household items."

"The discussion to process the move with them was extraordinary! He was on top of the listing, the move agreement and characteristic, and even getting COI within hours of our discussion, nothing but splendid! He was friendly and fluent, was such a contentment to work with. He went through the facts of the move and we made a conclusion to meet the next evening to complete the move. Well, there was a setback during the moving procedure that could have been prevented. First, I went an hour earlier of our scheduled time at 5PM on the day of the moving to get began on the removal of the stored boxes to clear the way to the fridge. I had thought we would be done by 6, or 6:30PM final and not having eaten lunch earlier, I belief I can survive until then."

FAQs for out-of-state moving service projects in Silver Spring, MD

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.
