It was a good move considering how last minute everything was. Though it wasn’t not the initial date I wanted to move, everyone was kind, understanding, and stayed in constant communication with me. Would definitely recommend, especially for long distance moves!

The movers were late and did not have wrap or blankets as I specified. We had to wait 2 hours before could start while they picked up those supplies. Nice guys and hard workers but some of my furniture was scratched up or chipped. They also did not have any of thier own tools.

As far as booking and adding your inventory was a breeze. The only complaint I have is when you call the number to ask questions it seems nobody knows what’s going on. So I booked a flex delivery,three days. Everything was fine until I had to change the date due to closing on our house changed. They changed the date but when I called to confirm who was doing the moving etc it was like that was operationals department . Ok fine I get that but nobody calls you back. Very frustrating not knowing who or what day they’ll be coming to move you. Communication could use some sprucing up. I didn’t get the call until late that our movers coming the next day. Now on to the movers. I can’t praise them enough. Went well beyond the call of duty. Top notch and would definitely recommend them and I will be calling them if I ever need to be 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

What’s the Best Time of Year to Move to Columbia?

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.

Do Most Movers Provide Storage?

Some movers provide storage units, but not all of them. It’s always a good idea to shop around for a moving company that can provide all the services you’ll need.

Fortunately, iMoving’s marketplace lets you see what’s on the menu with each mover, including secure storage options.

How Much Will a Columbia Move Cost Me?

A Columbia move can cost you anywhere from $320 to $8800 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.

How Should I Transport my Car or Truck?

iMoving offers a wide range of auto transporters to get your dream garage from point A to point B.

You can only drive one car at a time, and you probably don't want to shove a bunch of moving boxes into your Lambo, anyways.

Fortunately, our auto transporters have you covered - and if you book a covered trailer, they'll have your car covered too.

How Much Should I Tip My Movers?

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.
