These guys worked their butts off getting us moved. They were super friendly and professional. We had an amazing experience with them and I would recommend them over and over again. If you are questioning if you need "movers" just do it! This process overall was so easy and stress free. Thank you Ben and BHG for getting us moved.

Columbia Moving Services Are a Click Away
Every move is different. Whether it’s a home, office, or just a few items of heavy furniture, iMoving provides a whole menu of must-have services for moving in and out of Columbia:
Long Distance Moving
We'd say "Long distance moving can be a pain," but we have enough years of experience to know it for a fact. If you're going over 100 miles or across state lines - even if the state line's a mile away - you'll need professional help. Fortunately, iMoving is your one-stop shop for long distance moving companies.
When you shop for long distance movers in Columbia, you don't want to settle for some sketchy guys with an even sketchier truck. That's why we carefully verify every moving company before we let them join our network. We also pose as customers and call in to make sure they're staying honest.
Local Moving
You may not be moving very far, but a local move in Columbia still deserves plenty of attention from the best movers in the business.
iMoving keeps close tabs on all our local moving companies. If they operate in Columbia and they want to get into our network, we make sure they've got the safety records and customer feedback to back them up. We also make sure they aren't price gouging on those hourly rates, either.
Packing Services
As it turns out, packing is the hardest part of the job. Not only will you spend tons of time (and gas) going back and forth to Home Depot for more boxes, but you'll also get mixed up about what's going in what box. And guess what box that much-needed charger or toothbrush is in? The last one you open.
Save yourself the trouble, and book packing services in Columbia with iMoving. We'll make sure your boxes are wrapped, padded, and taped up tight, and we'll do it in record time so you can get unpacked and resituated ASAP.
Storage Services
Whether you have too much stuff or too little time, iMoving can help you put a roof over all your extra items. When you shop for movers, you can also shop for the best storage in Columbia, too. And those storage providers will maintain on-site staff to keep everything as safe as possible.
Storage is a great way to lend some much-needed flexibility to the big day. You can unload and unpack all the big ticket items, and pull the rest of your stuff out of storage when the time's right. And with our affordable rates, you can keep items locked away for however long you need.
Commercial Moving
Finding commercial movers in Columbia can be quite the challenge, especially if you need some extra TLC on the big day. From server racks to stacks of inventory, iMoving can connect you with the best corporate movers for the job.
When you use iMoving to shop for commercial movers, we make sure to leave all the options on the table. This way, you get a move that's custom-tailored to your business, whether you're a brick-and-mortar store or soon-to-go-global tech company.
FAQ
Movers need to have an official Department of Transportation (DOT) number, which you should be able to find on their website.
If a moving company handles long distance moves that cross state lines, they'll also need a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) number.
Don't forget to check reviews and look for any insurance info they may feature on their website.
When you move to a more built-up or urban area, chances are they won't let you park an entire semi truck in front of your apartment.
Your movers will have to park the main truck at a staging area, and use a smaller box truck or van to transport your stuff to (and from) the trailer.
This is called a moving shuttle, and the inconvenience comes at a price. Blame your city council.
A Columbia move can cost you anywhere from $210 to $7200 and beyond. It all comes down to how much you’re moving, and how far you’re traveling.
Keep in mind, local movers charge per mover, per hour (with about 2 movers per room), and long distance movers charge by weight (or volume) and miles.
We recommend tipping between 15% and 20% of the total cost of the move, to be divided up between your entire moving team.
Don't forget the driver, either! In the moving industry, tipping is usually accepted and expected.
While there are some rare companies that don't accept a gratuity, it's a good idea to have your wallet at the ready just in case.
Columbia may have decent weather sometimes, but we always recommend a mid-month, mid-week move, in any season but the summer.
Take a word of advice from the iMoving pros: Avoid a June, July, or August move if possible. It’s the most expensive time to move, and it’s usually WAY too hot for hauling boxes.
