Movers in Appleton, WI

If you don’t mind renting a truck from U-Haul and doing the driving your self I highly recommend Smith Movers (book thru Movinghelp.com). I used them yesterday to move my office and they were literally RUNNING at the end to get the job done in the 3 hours I’d scheduled. Real hard workers. Super nice and careful too.

I used Stairhoppers, and was VERY happy. https://stairhoppers.com/

I used 3E in North Chelmsford when I moved to Clinton from Westford. They were awesome! They also store stuff overnight and everyone was great to deal with! http://www.3 emoving.com/

Bigfoot Moving and storage bigfootmoving.com

Yes. https://www.movinghelp.com/ I used some guys from here years ago. You pay by the hour. They did a pretty good job. We were moving instate so we had them load and unload (most) of the uhaul.

We moved from Ohio to RI a year ago, used Joyce van lines. Highly recommend although we packed dishes, books, linens, clothing, small stuff ourselves.

Harris and crew out of Pawtucket. I have used them a bunch of times. They’re on movinghelp.com. Can’t say enough about them. They move their ass. Packed a 26 ft uhaul in less than 2 hrs.

I joined the Facebook “Rhode Island Craigslist” group and found movers for cheap. I got MANY offers, too

Try Phlatbed - mobile app that connects you with local folks who can help you move / load stuff on-demand. We used them in Stamford (to Chelsea NYC), Norwalk (to Weston), and in Boston, and now recommend as every opportunity. [Phlatbed.com](https://phlatbed.com/) Cheap, fast, easy and on-demand. Basically the uber for moving stuff.

Try Craigslist

I've used Art of Moving twice in the last year. Once when I was moving into an apartment and then when I moved into a house. They were absolutely fantastic... Will always use them for moving help when needed in Raleigh https://www.movinghelp.com/movers/Raleigh-NC-27603/The-Art-Of-Moving?id=D9D8D75C847E4C

I had a really bad experience with "All My Sons". Bad time estimate, bad money estimate, items lost and broken. Just don't use them.

TROSA!

TROSA is awesome. Polite, professional, conscientious, and reasonable $$$.

We used Joyful Movers when we first moved down here. They only did the unloading of the truck into our third-story apartment. They were super-professional, careful and very nice. I would definitely recommend them, except... We just recently moved into our new house, six miles from our apartment. I tried to get Joyful Movers again. I had to leave them a message, but they never called me back. Not good. (But that's a whole other discussion: businesses down here have a lot of trouble calling back potential customers. In this area, your service business will really stand out if you simply call people back!) Anyway... I wasn't going to chase after Joyful Movers. We ended up using Two Men and a Truck. They were on time, on schedule, and on budget, but not very careful. I wouldn't recommend them because of that, but if you do hire them, watch for damage of your items and walls.

[MovingHelp.com](http://www.movinghelp.com) is a great place to check out. Verified customer can leave reviews and ratings, and the movers only get paid if you're satisfied with the job they did.

We moved about a month ago and used Upwright Moving. I can't say enough good things about the crew we had. They were courteous, fast and careful with all of our belongings. Not only that, but they were the best rate we found.

We moved in May and used DSR Moving Corporation. They had good reviews on Yelp and good prices. Moved us out of our 3 rd story apartment into a house without any problems.

Movers generally have a cost floor. Like, I would be shocked to find a reputable movers quote below the $500 you got. It's also just an estimate, know that you can do a lot to reduce the cost by pre-packing stuff to reduce the time needed. I used Gentle Giant and the quote they gave me at first was a bit inflated, because they don't want to mess up their other stops that day they'd rather quote 4 hours and have it take 3 than quote 3 and have it take 4. So, I did some negotiating, convinced them that we'd have a lot of stuff boxed up already, and we moved a 2BR apartment across PVD in about 4 hours, when they'd quoted it at 6 hours. Total cost: $650 plus a tip. Best money I've ever spent. Will never move myself again. But, you could definitely do less up front work and spend way more. The movers said sometimes they walk into apartments that don't even look like people are moving out of, and the tenants expect the movers to box and pack things for them. Movers will do that, but the clock is running.

Harris and crew out of Pawtucket. I have used them a bunch of times. They’re on movinghelp.com. Can’t say enough about them. They move their ass. Packed a 26 ft uhaul in less than 2 hrs.

www.movinghelp.com I've used movers I've found in there several times, never had a problem. You'll have to supply the uhaul and drive it but they'll take care of the heavy lifting.

Try Big Mike’s Moving and Hauling. I read through some good reviews and he gave me a $350 quote for my move this Saturday (1-bedroom).

Thanks guys. I'm going to get rid of as much stuff as possible and try to move everything myself (with help from friends) with a truck and a hand truck. Hopefully things will work out.

I no longer live in RI, but I twice used [Danny's Auctions](http://www.dannysauction.com/). They have a team and a truck that just does moving jobs. They're barebones (no blankets, no plastic wrap), but work cheap. I think it was maybe $75/hr back in 2009 and 2012 when we used them.

I've used B&L Relocation Specialists out of Broken Arrow twice. Highly recommended. Check out movinghelp.com (run by uhaul) - B&L is ranked #1 for the area. They will do whatever you need them too (load / unload trucks, move furniture, etc). http://www.discountmoversok.com/ http://www.movinghelp.com/movers/Broken-Arrow-OK?Loc=Location1

I've used Payday Movers twice. Just two guys who put your shit in a truck and drive it for ya. Pretty speedy at packing the truck and pretty nice guys

Little Guys

call around and ask. there are a few moving companies around

Find out where the illegal casual laborers hang out and grab a couple of them.

Yeah someone in here had trouble with them recently but I had a good experience with Bellhops.

If you just need muscle, I've used GetBellhops.com a few times and it was great. It's college students who were all local. Plus it's cheaper than most moving services.

Any of them really. Google reviews is your friend in this situation. I used to be in the moving industry (the behind the scenes, office stuff)... here is my one piece of advice, do not cheap out. This is truly a situation of getting what you pay for. Good luck, friend.

Try [Movinghelp.com](https://www.movinghelp.com/movers/Tucker-GA-30084?Loc=Location1). We used this service for our move to Tucker and were pleased with the crew that we booked.

Call bellhops and ask if they can help

Already a ton of positive advice here, so let me take another angle -- avoid any kind of last-minute deal you find online via something like Groupon or whatever its equivalents are. Had nothing but trouble and scams with them.

RNR Moving does a great job and is pretty cheap. They might be a smaller operation though....

I would stay away from Crabtree It was a disaster from start to finish. They literally damaged every piece of wooden furniture that they touched. They even took a crowbar to my bed frame to get the mattress out. They didn’t come prepared with the proper tools to dismantle my bed. Even though I told them exactly what would be involved. Then they left a 12 year old (no exaggeration) to settle the bill after going over the estimate because they didn’t prep. Getting them to repair the damaged wood was a hassle. Even though I paid for the extra insurance. They actually sent over a dude with a touch up pen to fix all the cracks and gouges left by the crow bar. I had to tell them to send over a professional furniture repair technician. Which they tried to avoid because of the cost. Too bad you couldn’t get Trosa. They were solid. The only movers I’ll ever use again.

I was happy with using College Hunks. On time, they came prepared to lift heavy items and very affordable.

I've used Two Men and a Truck twice now and was very happy with them both times.

I've used Two Men and a Truck twice now and was very happy with them both times.

Little Guys is amazing. They were super fast, careful with our stuff, and couldn't have been nicer. We'll absolutely be using them again the next time we move. I've also heard good things about Trosa, but we had a similar experience as yours when we tried to get a reservation 2 months out (booked solid). Not worth the stress of trying to plan 3+ months ahead of time when your exact move date might not be set in stone.

Try checking out Neighbor moving. They are an operation from Neighbor2Neighbor which is an urban community-building org that does some great stuff with underprivileged people in Raleigh. ​ [https://www.neighbormoving.com/](https://www.neighbormoving.com/)

I have been searching as well. From my search through this sub I've seen Trosa, All My Sons, and College Hunks get recommended. I did call Trosa and All My Sons. All My Sons is extremely quick to work with in terms of communication and will send someone out to get an accurate quote if requested. I asked about a 2 bd room apartment (also 3 rd floor) they estimated $1100 for packing and moving everything. I would imagine yours would be significantly cheaper if its just big stuff.

I just moved a couple months ago, used All My Sons to move a 2 bedroom apartment. Granted, I don't actually have a ton of stuff, but they're service/follow up was great, the move itself only took maybe 2 hours (short distance). The cost was fairly low, actually less than I was expecting, but I was also moving 1 st floor to 1 st floor.

I use this site every time. I’ve learned not to use the cheapest. Read the reviews is a must. https://www.movinghelp.com

Crabtree family moving was recommended to my by my realtor and did a great job moving me from the DC area to Raleigh.

Ted’s Moving out of Waxhaw. Will be using them a second time this week. They are fabulous and worth every penny.

JT Willis movers helped me recently. They were excellent. On time, inexpensive, and while they worked in an hourly basis, they were incredibly efficient. Done in less time than estimated

When I reserved a Uhaul through their website a few months ago I was given the option of hiring movers via MovingHelp.com. Got a few guys for 4 hours from Flex Force and they were fantastic! Whole move (1 bdrm apt of stuff) ended up costing about $250 including Uhaul rental, moving help and tip AND the guys drove the truck for me. Highly recommend.

Less than two weeks away you're probably not going to be able to book anything better than those guys who hang out next to the Uhaul lot. I had a good experience with The Professionals but they're almost definitely booked.

I used [Coffey Bros Moving](http://coffeybrosmoving.com/) a few years ago. They were good and had decent rates.

I called 2 guys and a truck the weekend before and got a crew to come out. Granted this was in April but still very accommodating.

I just used A-Available for my move this week. They are great.

Stephanie Doerr ur a trip I lov u

We can do some tonight if you guys are up for it...have him call john 708-955-2360 or call me

Try movinghelp.com - we just used them last week! It was great. Shows you the price of multiple local companies. We picked one that had good reviews. Paid about 50 bucks an hour for TWO helpers.

I'll help u too with my truck sweetie Stephanie Doerr

Every time I've moved in the past decade I've rented a truck from Budget and guys to load and unload it on movinghelp.com. can be pretty reasonable in terms of price, never had any bad experiences.

If it's a 1-bedroom or smaller local move I'd recommend using Dolly (they have an app). They don't do packing though. They will tell you how much it will cost beforehand (as long as your inventory is accurate) and stand behind the price. It is generally just people with pickup trucks so they're not as great for any thing big. Round the Clock has been good too, but it in all cases it just depends on what crew you happen to get. I'd also recommend packing your own stuff.

American Collegiate Movers on Movinghelp.com. Super cheap and do an amazing job.

Your Personal Movers in Golden. Amazing service. Highly recommended.

When I moved to New Haven in 2015, I used uhaul's mover referral service at [movinghelp.com](http://movinghelp.com) to find local movers. I ended up using Connecticut's Finest Movers, LLC and was satisfied with their service. I don't recall what their rates were, but you can figure that out from the website.

I, too, am interested, and for my two cents, have heard terrible things about 2 Young Studs.

Check out MovingHelp.com. It is a website partnered with U-Haul. Way cheaper than trying to use an independent moving company.

UMS Moving. Awesome guys. Highly recommend. They have a page here on FB

MoveCo.net charge by the hour not per item.

Been with McGee Lane storage for 8 years. They're great.

Do NOT go with Warren's Homework. The entire time they moved me the movers were just talking about tips other people had given them or failed to give them. Subtle much? They lost a couple of things, only $20 worth of stuff so no big deal. However when I called them to ask about this (literally within an hour of the movers leaving), they didn't know anything and said they'd call me back the next day. The next day I don't get a call, so I call and they say they'll investigate and call me back in a few days. I don't get a call, so I call a week later and they say they'll investigate and call me back in a few days again. I don't get a call, so I call back a week later and finally the person I get just says "We're not responsible and we consider this matter closed." OK, cause I'm trying to scam you for $20. In terms of not breaking stuff and being fast I was happy, but the constant mentioning about tips was annoying and the customer service was abhorrent.

We have used [Champion Movers](http://www.championmovers1.com/) a couple of times with good results.

http://www.movinghelp.com/ You give them some basic info about your move, then they provide a list of movers & what they offer to do it for, all with ratings. So... you might see one that's super cheap but crap ratings, vice versa, or somewhere in between. I used 2 companies (one to pack & load my stuff in city A, another to unpack & move in when I got to Vegas). Both companies did a spectacular job. The first came out with a couple hours notice (when my plan A failed). The second did some misc set-up for me and didn't charge me for it. Hope that helps!

I’ve used Royal. No complaints. Have you tried looking on NextDoor also?

I used new world movers a few months ago. Those guys were amazing!

Look into ThumbTack. They have a lot of local businesses on there all trying to earn an honest wage. They are rated so they should be pretty reliable. YMMV but always do your research and homework.

Movinghelp.com Site owned by u-haul I think. You see hourly rates and reviews

Island Movers. They are on MovingHelp.com and recommendes by the local U-Haul places. Between them and the U-HAUL I was able to do a 2 bedroom move for pretty cheap.

College hunks is awesome. They're all I'll use in Jax now.

http://www.movinghelp.com/

Ed-Malki Dvir none of these movers are from the area. Closest is 30 miles away. thanks

We typically use https://www.movinghelp.com for our moves. Professional and local companies with competitive rates. Always on time and work hard. Payment isn't pulled until the job is complete so they perform. Using this for our move into the area on 8/24 actually.

You might try a place like Labor Finders. They don't pay that great (I think) but you can compensate for that by tipping the folks you hire so they are being paid appropriately for their labor. The benefit I see by helping businesses and workers in your new community if you're not needing the level of service you'd need from a professional moving company. Just a thought.

Heck I'd do that for 60 bucks. Times are tuff
