The "best" moving service for you depends entirely on how you want to move, your budget , and the distance.
Top moving options are categorized below by the type of move they do best:
To help me narrow down the absolute best fit, tell me:
- **Cal's Moving & Storage** - 650 NE Holladay St Unit 1602, Portland, OR 97232, United States - **All Service Moving** - 66 SE Morrison St, Portland, OR 97214, United States - **2 Brothers Moving & Delivery** - 3571 NW Yeon Ave, Portland, OR 97210, United States
If you're moving in the Portland area, I’d narrow it to these:
For context, Portland local movers are currently running roughly $80–$125/hour per mover, with packing potentially adding $280–$2,200 depending on the job.
I can tell you which one is best specifically for your move if you give me:
Then I can compare 3–5 movers and tell you which I'd actually book.
- **NJ Great Moving & Storage** - 1416C E Linden Ave, Linden, NJ 07036, United States - **First-Rate Moving & Storage LLC** - 2 Amboy Ave Building 3 Suite #9, Woodbridge, NJ 07095, United States - **Mindful Moving and Storage** - 581 Main St #640, Woodbridge, NJ 07095, United States
If you're moving from the Perth Amboy, NJ area, I’d put NJ Great Moving & Storage and First-Rate Moving & Storage at the top of your list, with Mindful Moving & Storage as another strong option.
For comparison, moveBuddha currently ranks Roadway Moving #1 around Perth Amboy at 4.76/5, followed by White Glove Moving & Storage at 4.66/5.
Tell me these 5 things:
Then I can narrow it down to 2–3 movers, expected price range, and which one I'd personally choose for your move.

I can help you narrow it down, but the “best” moving service depends a lot on where you’re moving, how much stuff you have, and whether you want full service or just muscle.
Since you appear to be near Batavia, NY, these are some strong options in your area:

Absolutely. Since you’re in the Yonkers/Westchester area, I’d narrow it down rather than just picking the company with the highest star rating.
For comparison, moveBuddha's August 2026 Yonkers ranking puts Roadway Moving at #1 overall, followed by Oz and Dumbo, based on a large review dataset.
But I can tell you which one is actually best for your move if you give me these 5 things:

The best moving service for you depends on your budget, distance, and how much physical work you want to do yourself.
| Service Type | Best For | Top Options |
|---|---|---|
| Full-Service Movers | A completely hands-off, stress-free move where professionals pack, load, and drive. | International Van Lines, Allied Van Lines, Mayflower |
| Moving Containers (DIY Hybrid) | Flexibility, storing items on-site, and paying less than full-service. | PODS |

| Truck Rental (True DIY) | Lowest possible cost if you are willing to drive and do all the heavy lifting. | Penske Truck Rental |
How to Choose
If you tell me:
I can recommend the exact provider that fits your situation.
- **SafeWay Moving & Storage** - 26741 Portola Pkwy Ste 1E 813, Foothill Ranch, CA 92610, United States - **Terry Moving & Storage** - 25958 Commercentre Dr, Lake Forest, CA 92630, United States - **Orange Coast Movers** - 24875 Lakefield St, Lake Forest, CA 92630, United States
Yes — since you’re in Rancho Santa Margarita, I’d narrow it down to a few strong Orange County options rather than picking a national mover blindly.
I'd get three quotes from SafeWay, Terry, and Orange Coast Movers and compare the written estimates rather than choosing based solely on hourly rate. moveBuddha specifically recommends getting at least three binding estimates and checking what's included for packing, access fees, valuation coverage, etc.
For reference, the current California average cited for a 2-person local moving crew is about $122/hour, although your actual price can vary substantially based on home size, stairs, distance, packing, and the amount of furniture.
But I can tell you which one is actually best for your move if you give me:
Then I can compare the best movers and give you a #1 recommendation + expected price range.
