This is twice over used Apex moving and storage, first was just a move into storage so insurance could fix my floor. This one was a for a move half... way across the country. I wasn't knowing what to think. From the time I first called Billie I knew I was in good hands. She explained everything and answered every question I came up with. I moved the end of April, I just finished unpacking in my new home last week, that's why the delay in doing a review. I knew something had to be broken. Well NOTHING was broken, NOTHING was damaged, everything was perfect. I have nothing but praise for this company. Thank you. From Billy, to James who did the estimate, to the Packers and loaders and truck driver, A+ job!! I wonder if they'll come back here and load me up and bring me back home. I should have been as careful with my decision a they were with all my things. Don't book your move till you talk to Apex!Debbie Alexanderread moreemily langworthy

I have had Apex move me twice in the past 5 years. Both times, they had the lowest prices and had very good reviews. They are very hard workers and... will ensure all of your belongings go exactly where you want them. They know how many movers and trucks you will need after a short inventory of your house. Both times, they ended up coming in at about $500 under their quotes. Their movers are extremely friendly and quick, but careful. I would highly recommend Apex Moving for any of your moving needs.read moreEzra and Isidore Nettleship

They were courteous, helpful and very positive. They made sure to put everything on the truck, even smaller items I was planning to haul myself.

If she is any indication of the crew that's coming to move my stuff to storage, it's going to be a great move!!I told Billi what i needed and when and she helped me "choreograph the dance"!

We were having new floors installed in our house and needed to have the heaviest furniture . including a 127 year old upright grand piano, moved into... our garage. The flooring installer recommended Apex. It was a great choice. The Apex team came and moved the furniture into our garage and the piano into an area where the floor wasn't being replaced. The piano weighs around 700 pounds. They took great care to make sure everything was moved quickly and safely. When the flooring installation was completed, another team came to move everything back. I was especially nervous because the flooring installers said the piano could tear up the new floor if not moved carefully.. The movers took great care in making sure this did not happen. In fact, they took great care in making sure none of the furniture would cause damage to the new floor. It was truly a pleasure working with such a professional group of movers from our first contact with the relocation consultant and the office personnel to the actual movers themselves. I would highly recommend using this company.read moreM G

They kept me informed along the way and were so friendly, supportive and professional in moving my items and in understanding my situation.

Quick and professional. Would recommend.First downside however is that we requested a wardrobe and mattress cover for our move, and the move team... was underprepared by not having those items (after reviewing the mover’s instructions they were not listed by the relocation consultant). My recommendation for anyone using this service is to have the relocation consultant reiterate what items will be provided by the movers, and to specifically have them listed on the “move notes” and not just the “consultant notes” (you will only see these notes when the movers arrive).Second downside was that the movers were late. We were given an arrival time of 8:15-9:15 and they arrived at 9:35.read moreLaura Esler

I called last week to schedule an interior move so we could get carpet installed, then had to cancel at the last minute. Wendy was really nice about... it. Then I called this morning letting her know we needed their help after all. She said she would check everyone's schedule and call me back. She called about 15 minutes later stating she could get a couple guys over to us in a couple hours. She set us up for a one hour move. The guys got here right on time and moved our furniture in 15 minutes. They were so nice. Since it only took them 15 minutes, the main guy handling the paperwork called their office and got them to take $30 off the original quote. Then they offered to move a large sectional that we were going to move ourselves. Talk about 5 star service. I hope we get the same guys back when we need them to put the furniture back!read moreAlexander Babaitsev

So we used apex movers because they were hired by the military to move us from lake stevens Washington to Bremerton Washington over all a 2 hr move... south. I have to say the packers were nice they were cool and very polite. However i feel like they didnt pack as well as they could have. While unpacking i found 3 broken glasses two of which went to a nice set my husbands grandparents gave to us our tv stand which is wooden and had some scuff marks on it before was missing the front piece of wood. My bed which was only 2 years old is now dipping badly in the middle when it wasnt before the move. When they came and did the pack out they forgot to check my pantry and ended up leaving behind 4 boxes granted they came back and got them that same day but still. There are a few more little things ive noticed as ive continued to unpack as well. Like my blu ray player was packed into a box and had other stuff piled on top of it with no bubble wrap or any such protection for it now it randomly turns itself off and on when it never did that before. My printer was also packed like my blu ray player was with no bubble wrap or protection for it just put into a box and had stuff piled on and around it. Like i said the staff was nice and personable and they were at least on time and kept in contact with us thru out the process but i feel like they could and should have taken more care to pack things and double or tripple wrap and pack them especially glass items or electronics and furniture.read morePaul Johnson

Long-Distance Movers
Moving for the First Time?
When you decide to hire a moving company, you’ll first be assigned a moving specialist. This person will work closely with you to understand your specific needs, coordinate the logistics of the move, and provide expert guidance. Once you agree on a quote, which will be given after a survey of your items, you’ll receive an Order of Service. This is a document outlining the agreed-upon services, moving dates, and costs so you know exactly what to expect. If you opt-in for packing services, a team will come a few days before your move. On moving day, after your movers load your packed items into the truck, you’ll be given a Bill of Lading, a legally binding document that serves as a receipt for your goods and a contract for their transportation. As each item is unloaded at your new location, it will be checked off on the Bill of Lading. You will complete the move with a final walkthrough and confirmation with your team leader.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire Long-Distance Movers?
Long-distance moves can vary greatly in cost depending on the distance, the size of the move, and the services needed. Generally, a long-distance move can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 or more. Other factors like the time of year, additional packing supplies, and specific requests might also influence the overall price. It is recommended that you get at least three moving estimates to ensure that you’re getting a fair price and moving with a trustworthy mover who gives comprehensive breakdowns of your move.
At Apex Moving & Storage in Tacoma, you can expect a competitive pricing structure that is tailored to your specific moving needs. Our rates are extremely competitive, and you can get a quote that gives you an exact price using an in-depth survey of your items.
What Will be Included in My Long-Distance Move, and What Will Cost Extra?
A standard long-distance move usually includes services like loading, transporting, and unloading your belongings. Additional services like packing and unpacking, specialized moving of heavy or fragile items, and temporary storage might be available but typically cost extra.
With Apex Moving & Storage, you have the option to add packing and unpacking services to your move. We also offer both long-term and short-term storage solutions in a climate-controlled facility with 24/7 security. We assign a moving specialist to you to help determine exactly what you need. All of this will be detailed in your comprehensive quote and listed on your Order of Service.
How are My Belongings Protected During a Long-Distance Move?
During a long-distance move, professional movers use packing supplies like boxes, bubble wrap, and furniture pads to protect your belongings. Proper packing is essential to prevent damage during transit, especially for fragile items. Your movers will then handle your items, carefully loading and unloading them into the truck, making use of a dolly for extra care. Your movers should use a real moving truck, which has added padding to keep your items protected.
At Apex Moving & Storage, they offer professional home protection kits and specialize in packaging various items, including electronics. They are an experienced and trusted company, and they perform background checks on all of their employees, ensuring that your belongings are handled with care and professionalism.
What are My Coverage Options for Potential Damage or Loss of Items During My Move?
Government regulation requires moving companies to provide valuation coverage at a minimum rate of 60 cents per pound per item. This coverage is known as Limited Liability Coverage. There’s also an option for Full Value Protection at an additional cost, which covers the replacement or repair cost of lost or damaged items. It is up to the mover whether they will replace your item, repair it, or give you the cash value. Not all movers offer Full Value Protection, but most do, as they realize Limited Liability Coverage is typically not enough.
Apex Moving & Storage complies with these regulations and offers both Limited Liability Coverage and Full Value Protection to their customers. You can also declare your particularly high-value items as Items of Extraordinary Value to make sure that you are fully covered for your move.
How Long Does an Interstate Move Take, and How Is the Delivery Date Determined?
A good rule of thumb is that interstate moves typically take 3-14 days on average. For longer moves, over 1700 miles, it can take up to three weeks. However, the actual duration might vary based on factors like load size, distance, and other logistical considerations. Your moving specialist will work with you to determine the ideal delivery date for your items.
With Apex Moving & Storage, planning your long-distance move becomes a hassle-free experience. As an interstate agent of National Van Lines, we’re able to streamline the long-distance moving process with hundreds of agents coast-to-coast. However, not all moving dates will be available, especially during the busy season of the moving industry in the Summer. We urge you to reach out as soon as possible to lock in your moving date.
Will My Movers Have Experience and Training with Moving Fragile Items?
Professional movers are usually trained to handle fragile items, employing special techniques and materials to ensure their safety during transportation. If you have fragile items, such as antiques or fine art, or difficult-to-carry items, such as gun-safes and pianos, make sure you find a moving company with a crew trained to handle these types of moves from packing to handling to storage.
We pride ourselves on our ability to move fragile items safely. Our movers are trained according to the guidelines of the American Trucking Association: Moving & Storage Conference. We are family-owned and operated, with extensive experience and training in handling delicate belongings, and offer specialized moving services with a crew that is background-checked and properly trained.
What is the Process for Filing a Claim for Items That Are Damaged During My Move?
If your belongings are damaged during a move, you should first notify the moving company and then follow their specific claims process, which may require documentation like photographs or an inventory list. That is why we suggest taking a picture of items before the move.
With Apex Moving & Storage, the process of filing a claim for damaged items is straightforward and customer-friendly. Being a company committed to integrity and quality, they guide you through the process, ensuring a fair and prompt resolution. Be sure to contact us as soon as possible. It is best if you are able to notify the team leader of damages during the unloading process.
Learn more about how to contact for a long-distance moving claim from National Van Lines.
Are There Any Restrictions or Rules That I Should Be Aware of for My Long-Distance Moves?
Long-distance moves often come with specific rules and restrictions, such as regulations around transporting hazardous materials and weight limitations. Some materials that cannot be moved include flammable items, cleaning supplies, hazardous materials, plants, perishables and cosmetics. The exact list will be determined by what your destination state is. For licensing, it is required that your movers hold a USDOT license. If you’re moving to certain states, your mover will also require a Motor Carrier, or MC, license.
Apex Moving & Storage operates in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including their USDOT, WA HHG, and MC license numbers. Their team will gladly inform you of any specific restrictions or rules that may apply to your long-distance move, making sure you have all the necessary information for a successful and stress-free transition. Our moving quotes include an in-depth survey of your items. Your moving specialist will work with you then on discussing any items that are not allowed to be moved across state lines.
