Why We Picked iMoving:

We’ll be completely up-front with you about this one: iMoving doesn’t do the actual heavy lifting. But they DO deserve an honorable mention. Instead of a conventional moving company, iMoving is more like a moving marketplace. Think Kayak or Expedia, but instead of comparing prices and booking flights or hotels, you’re booking moving, storage, and packing services. iMoving is a really revolutionary platform: Instead of entering your info for every moving company on your radar, you just plug it in once, and pick and choose from over 1,000 verified choices.

Services Offered:

  1. 1000+ verified movers: As an online moving network, iMoving has over 1,000 movers to pick and choose from. This may seem like a pretty small sample size, considering how many movers are out there. But it’s a list that’s growing every day, and they don’t just let any old moving company make the cut. iMoving carefully verifies every one of these 1,000+ choices, so you know you’re dealing with a team you can trust.
  2. Easy online shopping platform: We can’t stress it enough: iMoving makes the whole process super simple. You don’t need to re-enter your info a million times to compare quotes. You don’t have to call in and deal with a ton of questions. You don’t have to deal with a house call from a moving agent. iMoving put the entire process online, from building an inventory list to shopping for movers and booking them for the big day.

Types of Moves Offered:

  1. Local moving: If you’re just moving a short distance (below 100 miles and within the same state), you’ll need local movers. Fortunately, iMoving has them in droves. With a whole list of local moving pros, you can pick and choose the best for your needs.
  2. Long distance moving: If you’re moving over 100 miles or across state lines, you’ll be in the market for long distance moving companies. iMoving lets you choose from the best of the best: if a mover doesn’t make the cut, the mover doesn’t get onto iMoving’s platform. It’s all part of their safe and secure network.
  3. Cross country moving: iMoving also offers a wide selection of cross country movers. Whatever direction you’re heading, you can shop their marketplace to compare prices for the longest of long haul movers.
  4. International moving: The iMoving network is always growing, and it includes international players, as well. When you use iMoving’s marketplace, you’re getting the best movers in the US - and you’re also getting a chance to shop around on a global scale. Believe us, this one-stop-shop approach makes international moving way easier.

Pros

  1. Binding quotes

  2. Flexible cancellation policy

  3. View multiple estimates at once

  4. No phone calls needed

Cons

  1. Services may not be available in every state

  2. More like a marketplace

How Much Does it Cost:

Local moves with iMoving range from $150 and $900. On the other hand, long distance moves will set you back between $1,000 and $4,000. As a moving marketplace, there’s a huge variety of price points on iMoving. Depending on how far you’re traveling, how much you’re carrying, and what kind of extra services you need, you may end up paying a lot more or less.

Got an internet connection? Got a web browser? Yeah, iMoving’s there. They’re an online marketplace, and part of their service is helping you find the best moving company for your point of origin and your destination. Really all you have to do is tell them a little more about where you’re coming from, where you’re going, and how much you have to transport, and then they’ll connect you with movers for the route.

Customer Support and Communication:

iMoving may keep everything online, but there are actual humans at the helm. Sure, you can shop for movers and book a move without talking to a single person, but if you’re feeling chatty, iMoving is there for you. They’ll be able to answer all of your questions and walk you through the booking process. Plus, their website makes it super easy to learn a little more about your move (more on that later).

Insurance and Claims Process:

Moving companies are federally required to offer basic coverage, but that basic coverage is only good for $0.60 per pound of items lost or damaged. If you want anything more substantial, you’ll have to shell out extra for full-value insurance coverage. Fortunately, just like their wide range of packing and moving services, iMoving offers an equally wide range of insurance options and providers.

Packing and Handling of Special Items:

iMoving can connect you with movers who specialize in art, pianos, pool tables, and more. You can shop through all your options depending on whatever kind of fragile or awkward items you need transported. And if you’re just looking for a little extra help, iMoving can also connect you with moving labor: These are professional movers that can show up, help you with packing or loading, and let you handle the rest.

Sustainability Practices:

Since iMoving is an online marketplace, they’re actually more sustainable than you’d expect. Lots of moving companies require in-home estimates. This means someone from the moving company has to drive out to your place, physically inspect everything, and drive back to HQ to come up with a quote. Unlike those guys, iMoving puts this whole process online. Instead of dealing with an intrusive visit, you just enter your inventory on your profile. The surprise benefit? Less gas spent for those house calls!

Moving Resources and Guides:

Aside from a huge menu of movers and moving services, iMoving also offers some pretty solid articles on moving to certain cities, money-saving tips, and the different moving options you can choose from when you’re planning the big day. Of course, the real star of the show is the iMoving platform itself. It’s the easiest way to shop for movers, compare prices, and book a move - and it’s all right on their website.

Customer Reviews and Testimonials:

iMoving has a 3.9 out of 5 on Google, based on over 100 reviews. In the moving industry, 3.9 is actually an exceptionally high score - especially since people are much more likely to post negative reviews than positive ones. And as for those negative reviews? iMoving actually replies to customers to remedy each situation.

Quite a few people were surprised to find out that iMoving doesn’t do the actual heavy lifting, but their website is pretty clear that they’re more of a marketplace than your typical mover. To be fair, it’s a new concept in the world of moving, so once word gets around and people start getting to know how the system works, expect iMoving’s score to go even higher.

iMoving is a one-stop shop for moving and logistics. They make it easy to shop around for movers that match your needs, and they’re the only place that lets you book entirely online. If that sounds useful to you, check out their website and start shopping!
