Here are just a few of the stories and experiences our customers have shared.
Helping Families Through Difficult Transitions
Susan J. from Los Alamos, NM, shared her experience after sorting through her late father’s belongings in Raleigh, NC. She and her sisters spent weeks selecting what to keep, and Safe Ship Moving Services stepped in to help ship treasured family items across the country.
“Safe Ship personnel were invariably courteous, helpful, and informative… I was especially impressed with their careful handling of a set of more than 80 antique dishes that they removed piece by piece from the cabinet.”
She trusted us to ship three antique chairs, a large oil painting, and even a family Bible passed down through generations. Her kind words meant a lot, and we’re grateful we could support her through such an emotional time.
First-Time Movers Who Felt Right at Home
Samantha Hodge used Safe Ship Moving Services for the first time and shared how her team made the entire process smooth and worry-free:
“My movers were so friendly, kind, and extremely efficient!”
She added that next time she has to move, she’ll be requesting this same team again. We couldn’t ask for higher praise.

Making Moving Day Stress-Free
Dave Renken shared how much he valued clear labeling and organization during his move:
“Both movers were very courteous, professional, ensured all items were packed properly and securely and marked to the location: room to be moved and unpacked.”
We know that thoughtful packing can make or break the moving experience, especially once boxes start arriving at your new home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is moving so expensive?
Moving costs reflect essential services: trained labor, special equipment, fuel, insurance, and vehicle maintenance. Because of seasonal demand, distance, and location-specific regulations, moving prices can vary.
What is the most expensive part of moving?
Labor usually represents the highest moving expense, especially for long-distance relocations. Professional movers’ rates often account for expertise, fuel charges, physical demands, and time investment.
What is a reasonable moving budget?
Reasonable moving budgets vary by home size, location, and distance. Local moves can cost between $800 to $2,500 for a two-bedroom home. Long-distance moves might cost between $2,500 and $8,000. Set aside an additional 10% to 15% for unexpected expenses and costs like packing materials, insurance, and tips.
How much should you tip movers for long-distance moves?
For long-distance moves, the standard tip ranges from 5% to 10% of your total moving cost, split between pickup and delivery crews.
