Frequently Asked Long-Distance Moving Questions

How far in advance should I book my long-distance move?
A. It’s recommended to start planning your long-distance move 2-3 months in advance and aim to book your moving company at least one month before your desired move date. This will allow ample time for you to organize, pack, and address any potential issues that may arise. However, some moving companies offer last-minute moving services, in case your long-distance move is within one or two weeks away.
How Can I Tell if My Potential Long-Distance Movers Are Licensed?
Any legitimate moving company will put their license numbers in the footer of their website. You’ll want to find the USDOT number and put it in the Federal Mover’s Database. This will tell you if the license is active, along with a ton of additional useful info.
How Can I Save Money on My Long-Distance Move?
Begin by decluttering your home and getting rid of items you no longer need; this reduces the weight and volume of your belongings and can significantly lower moving costs. Plan your move in advance to avoid rush charges and consider moving during off-peak seasons if possible, as rates tend to be lower. Lastly, gather multiple estimates, including a free one from Apex Moving & Storage, to ensure you’re getting the best value for your move. Remember, while it’s important to save money, it’s equally crucial to prioritize quality and reliability to ensure a stress-free moving experience.

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 more

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 more

Apex was great from start to finish! They were quick to respond, kind and easy to work with.

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. They got the job done quickly and efficiently and had the best attitudes. They worked well as a team and were careful with my furniture. I highly recommend them. They are top quality!read more

When i called, Apex Moving & Storage, i was frazzled and about at my last raw nerve. I had been calling moving companies, local and national, only to... find out everyone is moving and no one was available!Then, Billi (sp?) answered the phone at Apex Moving & Storage. 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"! The suggestions were great and she made it work! I am now looking forward to a smooth move with a great crew!!Thanks, again, Billi!read more

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 more

I got out of an abusive relationship. My ex withheld my property from me and finally gave me one, short notice day that hired movers could come and... pick up my property. It seemed like every place I called was booked. Apex Movers called me right back, had availability even with a short notice and cheaper rates than the other places I called. They kept me informed along the way and were so friendly, supportive and professional in moving my items and in understanding my situation. Here’s to healthy new beginnings- thank you so much Apex!read more

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 more

As I post this very satisfied customer review, just a week following my move, I wish to once again reach out to the very able Apex Moving & Storage... staff members "Dione," "Ron," and "Herman," each who carefully and diligently participated in making my recent move a stress-free and efficient experience. Your combined care and concern displayed when moving numerous fine furnishings, much of it both weighty and delicate, instantly proved to me that I had selected the right moving firm for carrying out this task. A hearty thank you is also extended to both "Wendy" and "James," too, for their coordination and assistance given to the recent task at hand.read more

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 more

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 more
