Full-service moving companies are designed to handle every aspect of the moving process, from disassembling furniture and loading the truck to transport, unloading, and reassembling furniture. Many full-service movers also offer packing, unpacking, and additional services to make your move even easier.
Unlike a DIY move, where you rent your own moving truck and either do the packing and loading yourself or hire moving labor help for that part, full-service movers manage everything for you, helping to reduce as much stress as possible.
A full-service moving experience usually involves loading, transport, and unloading, with the option to add packing and unpacking services.
Additional moving services may include providing packing supplies, storage services, vehicle shipping, and international moving services, depending on the move. Full-service moving companies may also offer specialty moving services for complex, bulky, or valuable items, such as moving pianos, art, wine collections, or even pets.
With so many moving parts involved in a full-service long-distance move, choosing an experienced mover who prioritizes strong communication is key to keeping everything on track and as smooth as possible.

“I’ve moved several times in the past and I’ve learned to never hire a moving “broker” after nightmares and delays and extra hidden fees etc. Colonial Van Lines is different. They’re a direct carrier. ... I was very impressed with Colonial start to finish. They picked up my items from Florida and I received them in Texas after just a few days. When I used a broker in the past, I wouldn’t get my things for 1-2 months. Colonial had no hidden fees and everything was understood and clear from beginning to end. If you’re moving state to state, Colonial Van Lines is the #1 moving company to trust. I can’t tell you how pleased I am. Just Google other moving companies/brokers and see for yourself. Every other company has horror stories.”
“Outstanding move from Nashville to Denver. From start to finish Colonial Van Lines were the best. Great communication throughout the process, the movers were professional and efficient, all my household goods arrived safely and on time in Denver. Excellent customer service throughout. I highly recommend Colonial Van Lines for your cross country moving requirements. Also, if you have a car to move, do not hesitate to let Colonial do that for you as well. My car was picked up on time, delivered early, and not a scratch!”
“Colonial Van Lines far exceeded my expectations. The communication throughout the process was exceptional. We were told what would happen, and when it would happen, and the timeline was consistently met. Throughout the process, the personnel were very patient to answer all of my questions. The gentlemen who picked up our furniture and who dropped off our furniture, were polite and personable, and handled our things as if they were their own. Thank you Colonial Van lines for making this move a very positive experience.”
“Thank you Colonial Van Lines for making my move from New Jersey to New Mexico a good one! ... Their pricing was reasonable, and the packing they did was top notch. They were careful with my belongings and made sure they were road worthy so they arrived in one piece, which they did! Anxiety ended up being replaced with excitement by the time all was said and done. The drivers on both ends were polite and professional, and had excellent communication with me. ... You came recommended highly from my sister who used your services moving from Texas to Florida recently, and I’ll be recommending you to my parents for their upcoming cross country move as well when they follow me out here. ... If I had this to do over again, I wouldn’t change a thing.”
