Why We Picked Moving APT:

Moving APT is one of our top choices when it comes to long distance moves, short distance moves, and pretty much any other kind of move you can think of. They’ve got national reach, and over 2,500 partners who can provide a solid menu of services. Aside from their range (and menu) of services, Moving APT also has a handy moving cost calculator built right into their website. You can get a custom quote - for free - and they even offer price-matching.

Services Offered:

  1. Loading and Hauling: There’s no need to throw your back out. Moving APT can take care of the bread-and-butter of the moving business, which is loading and hauling. Their teams will show up with the right truck for the job, and they’ll load all your belongings with the right tools for the job, too.
  2. Storage: Moving day can be a pretty chaotic experience, and if you’re panicking about finding a place for all of your furniture before the movers drive away, worry not: Moving APT offers secure storage. You’ll get some much-needed extra time (and extra square footage).
  3. Packing: Sure, you can always DIY your packing. But do you really want to burn a few weekends fighting with all that boxing, taping, and bubble wrapping? Moving APT’s professional packers can take care of it so you don’t have to.
  4. Car Shipping: It may be tempting to drive your Lambo cross-country, but save it for the track. Car shipping with Moving APT is a great way to avoid some serious wear-and-tear, and if you have more than one car, it might be your only option for transporting your whole stable to point B (unless you REALLY want to take multiple road trips).
  5. Furniture Disassembly and Reassembly: Some pieces are just too awkward to fit in the trailer without a bit of reverse-IKEA action. Moving APT will send a team to disassemble your biggest, most awkward pieces of furniture - and of course, they’ll have a team waiting to put everything back together at your destination.

Types of Moves Offered:

  1. Local Moving: In the moving industry, anything under 100 miles and within the same state counts as a local move. Moving APT can easily handle your down-the-block, across-town relocations, and their moving teams have plenty of local know-how to get around town efficiently.
  2. Long Distance Moving: If you’re traveling over 100 miles or across state lines (even if the state line is like, 2 miles away), you’ll need long distance movers. Surprise, surprise, Moving APT also offers long distance moving - and they have all the licensing and certifications to operate interstate.
  3. Cross Country Moving: Cross country moving takes a lot of coordination. More than just a long distance move, moving from coast to coast requires a dedicated support network, and a fleet of trucks that operate on those extra-long routes. Fortunately, Moving APT has you covered.
  4. Corporate Moves: If you’re running a business, you have to avoid downtime at all costs. The team at Moving APT knows that you’ve got to keep the wheels turning, and they’ll make sure your business gets relocated with minimal disruption. Whether you’ve got warehouse inventory, server racks, or a cubicle farm, they can handle it.
  5. Military Relocations: Military moving can be a pretty fast-paced experience. Moving APT has plenty of experience dealing with the ins and outs of military moves, from temporary reassignments to PCS (permanent change of station).
  6. International: If you’re going farther than a coast to coast move, Moving APT has you covered. Not only do they have thousands of partners across the US, they also have vetted and verified moving pros in over a hundred countries. This is a major help when you’re trying to coordinate an international relocation - especially since Moving APT will manage the whole process!

Pros:

  1. Best customer feedback

  2. Strong moving network

  3. Price matching

  4. Easy moving cost calculator

  5. Tidy

  6. Itemized estimates

  7. Efficient and effective

Cons:

  1. Annoying online chat

How Much Does it Cost:

A long distance move with Moving APT will set you back between $4,861.75 and $7,763.50. Keep in mind our sample was based on 2 or 3 bedroom homes, across an average distance of 1,250 miles. If you’re moving a bigger home and moving a longer distance, expect to pay a little more. But if you’re moving a smaller home - like a studio apartment, for example - and you’re going a much shorter distance, expect to pay less!

Moving APT is available across all 50 states, and they have over 2,500 partners that specialize in a range of different moving services. They also have an impressive network of international movers. When you’re moving with APT, you can count on them to manage the whole process, no matter how far you’re traveling.

Customer Support and Communication:

Moving APT prioritizes customer service through various channels, offering a more accessible and user-friendly experience compared to other moving companies. Their website is notably easier to navigate, featuring tools like a moving cost calculator and the provision of free quotes to assist in planning your move. While the online chat feature may sometimes be considered annoying, the overall feedback indicates that Moving APT strives to maintain open lines of communication with its customers, ensuring they are well-informed and supported throughout their moving journey.

Insurance and Claims Process:

It’s rare, but accidents happen. In the event of broken, damaged, destroyed, or missing items, you’ll be able to file a claim to get some kind of reimbursement. Moving APT offers a basic level of insurance coverage, but it’s only good for $0.60 per pound. Want to get more than $2.40 for that laptop? You may have to pay for third-party insurance.

Packing and Handling of Special Items:

Moving APT’s partners are all trained and equipped to handle your fragile and valuable items. As an extra option, you can request special item moving. Moving APT will then send one of their verified pros to take care of the custom crating, bubble-wrapping, and even disassembly if needed.

Sustainability Practices:

Moving APT bundles moves for better efficiency. This means if your move doesn’t fill a whole truck, they’ll make a few other pickups and dropoffs along the way to minimize that wasted space.

Don’t worry - your belongings will be safely secured and separated. Bundling is just a great way to keep costs and emissions down by getting the most out of every drop of fuel. If you’re really in a hurry, chat with your rep to see if they can schedule a direct move. Just prepare your wallet.

Moving Resources and Guides:

Moving APT is a pretty helpful mover - and that’s before you even book their services! When you pay their website a visit, one of the first things you’ll see is a (completely free!) moving cost calculator. All you have to do is enter some of your info, and they’ll get you a detailed estimate in just a few clicks.

Aside from their moving cost calculator, Moving APT has a ton of helpful guides. Want a printable moving checklist? They’ve got you covered. Want to learn more about moving to your city? Look through their blog. Heck, they’ve even got lists of their favorite movers, and guides to how you can save as much money as possible before the big day.

Customer Reviews and Testimonials:

Moving APT has a 3.7 out of 5 on Google reviews - and when you’ve looked through as many moving companies as we have, you’ll know that number’s actually pretty impressive. They’re punching way above their weight in terms of price, services, and quality of care, and their customers seem to agree. You’ll even see video reviews from real clients on the Moving APT website.

Highlights from all of those reviews? Ease of use, efficiency, professionalism, and a great customer service experience. If you’re ready to work with a solid mover who scores high across the board, Moving APT is your best bet.
