Best Moving Companies in Pennsylvania 2024

Brett from Malvern said he had a “great experience” with AmeriSafe: “Stefan and Tyler were great! They were super accommodating to our needs and took great care with our personal belongings. They had to deal with some rough conditions during the packing, but were very friendly and patient with us.”

Ismael from Murrysville said: “The team was professional, well-organized, and very courteous. All this at transparent and competitive price, aligned with the estimate. I definitely recommend AmeriSafe and I will use them again for my future moves!”

Mary from Mechanicsburg originally had a bad experience with the subcontracted company: “No communication, overcharged and tried to change the date of the move.” Fortunately, as of July 2024, AmeriSafe Moving Services reached out to resolve the issue, and Mary raised her 1-star rating to 4 stars.

Many reviewers mention responsive moving coordinators and efficient, careful, communicative moving crews.

Marianne from Dingmans Ferry said about her experience: “The rep with Colonial, Anthony, was well-trained. When I said I couldn't afford something, he respected that. He helped me reduce the cost while the other people resisted taking things off the order. ... They hired two super nice guys. They wrapped everything and were very careful.”

James from Easton said simply: “I would recommend Colonial. The movers showed up on time. They were very efficient and did a good job.”

Some reviewers mention poor communication and moving crews with a lack of knowledge about the move.

Amanda from Pittsburgh was happy with her sales rep and the movers: “I had to relocate out of state for work and used International Van Lines to handle my massive move. The movers were great! They showed up on-time -- actually a few minutes early, in uniform and did a great job ensuring all my stuff was safely well packed. The delivery was pretty much perfect, executed on time and all my belongings arrived in the same condition they were prior to the move.”

She told us: “I have had to move a few times in the past and this was one of the better moving experiences I had. I would absolutely recommend them to family and friends and use them again if necessary. Also, I would like to personally thank my sales rep Alex, who was amazing.”

Some IVL reviewers on our site mention that the company subcontracted the move to careless and disreputable movers. Note that, when operating as a broker (as with any broker), IVL will hire another company to complete your move.

Tina from Mountain Top said she would “highly recommend” PODS: “We have used PODS for two moves now. Once for a move a couple hours away and another for a move 700 miles away. In both instances, PODS made the move smooth and our stuff arrived in great condition. I highly recommend PODS whether you are just making space for some renovations or moving across the country.”

Don from Pittsburgh also had a good experience: “We were impressed that both drivers were so nice and professional - they maneuvered the POD into a tight place and got it out! The POD was clean and waterproof and held everything we needed while the basement was remodeled. The service was on-time and flawless - we will use them again when we remodel the upstairs!”

Macie from Parkesburg wouldn’t recommend the company due to a delivery delay: “We ordered a pod to be dropped off on a Saturday, so we can load boxes and extra furniture into it so we can get professional photos of our home to and put it on the market the following Monday. … Come Saturday, after drop off window started AND we already put all our boxes for a family of 7 into two rooms by the ground door, we received a call that we will not receive our pod that day but on Tuesday due to an ‘emergency.’”

Rosemarie from Nanticoke said about her experience with United Regions Van Lines, “We used these guys before, and they were awesome, so it was a no-brainer to hire them again for our move from IL to PA. They're super affordable, quick, safe, and reliable. Seriously, they've totally knocked it out of the park twice now. If we have another move coming up, they're definitely getting a call from us.”

David of Easton was also happy with his experience: “When my daughter was off to college, we were stressed about moving her belongings to the dorm. Enter URVL - an absolute lifesaver! Their team packed her room with efficiency, gave extra care to delicate items like her computer and lamp, and went the extra mile setting up her dorm perfectly. Thanks to them, the college transition was a breeze. Five stars!”

While most reviewers are happy with the company, a few mention bad experiences, like Christopher from Reading: “It took 3 weeks to get my stuff. They would not tell me when it was coming. This is maddening. When the moving truck came I measured the space filled and it was considerably less then what I was charged for and customer service would not acknowledge.“
