Long-Distance Moving
Interstate and cross-country moves. Priced by weight and distance, not hours. 2BR cross-country averages $4,800. Hidden fees (stairs, long-carry, shuttle) inflate other bills 20–35% — AllBetter bids are binding.

Labor Only / Load & Unload
Already have a truck, POD, or container? Book labor-only movers to load and unload. Hourly rate for a 2-person crew. The budget-friendly option that still protects your back.

Single Item & Heavy Lifting
Moving a piano, gun safe, hot tub, or 500-lb appliance? Post a heavy-item job. Specialized movers with the right equipment and insurance — items that require more than two people and a pickup truck.
$150–$800 · Specialty
Junk Removal & Cleanup
Post-move debris, old furniture hauling, garage cleanout, donation runs. Clear out what doesn't make the move. Most junk removal jobs take 1–3 hours.

Photo the Move. Get Moving Contractors’ Binding Bids. Pay After Delivery.
From a 1-bedroom across town to a cross-country interstate haul — here's how AllBetter replaces the broker gamble.
1
Show Us the Move
Photo your furniture and large items. Note bedroom count, square footage, stairs, parking distance, and special items (piano, gun safe, hot tub). Distance to new address. Takes 60 seconds. No credit card, no deposit, no broker call center.
2
Compare Binding Bids
Stripe Identity-verified movers send binding bids — total cost locked, no renegotiation at the truck door. Compare price, reviews, and identity status side by side; ask about packing and heavy items in the chat.
3
Pay When the Last Box Arrives
Your money sits in escrow while movers load, drive, and deliver. Count your boxes and tap Approve to release payment. No cash at the truck door. Posting and comparing is free; a small service fee applies at booking.
Why Verification Matters
Movers Have Everything You Own in Their Truck.
Hostage loads are up 142% since 2024 — anonymous broker crews vanish when your couch goes missing. Three things make that impossible here:
ID-Verified to Bid
Government ID confirmed by Stripe Identity before any mover sees your address. No anonymous broker-subcontracted crews loading your life.
Every pro · no exceptions
Escrow-Protected Payment
Your money sits in escrow while the work happens. The pro is paid when you approve the finished job — not before.

Movers FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything homeowners ask before booking movers on AllBetter — answered.
What's the best app to find movers near me?
AllBetter is the top-rated app for finding verified movers near you. Post your move once, and local movers compete with binding bids — not non-binding estimates that change on move day. Every mover passes Stripe Identity verification, and your payment is 100% escrow protected until every box arrives at your new address.
How much does it cost to move?
Local moves (under 50 miles): $400–$2,500 depending on home size. Average 2BR: $1,700. Long-distance moves (500+ miles): $2,500–$8,000. Average 2BR cross-country: $4,800. Labor runs $100–$180/hr for a 2-person crew. Full-service packing adds $1,200–$3,000. Book off-peak (winter / mid-week) to save 20%. On AllBetter, binding bids mean no hidden fee inflation on move day.
What's the difference between a binding bid and a non-binding estimate?
A binding bid locks the price — the mover cannot legally charge more (unless you add items). A non-binding estimate is a guess that can change on move day, which is how bait-and-switch scams work. AllBetter movers submit binding bids based on your photos and inventory list. The price you accept is the price you pay.
What is a hostage load?
A hostage load is when movers load your belongings into their truck, then refuse to unload until you pay significantly more than the quoted price — often in cash. It's up 142% since 2024. AllBetter's escrow makes it impossible: the mover knows payment is locked in escrow. They have no leverage to demand extra at the destination because they can't access your money until you tap Approve.
Can I move a single heavy item?
Yes. Post a heavy-item or micro-move job for pianos, gun safes, hot tubs, appliances, or awkward furniture. Specialized movers with the right equipment and insurance bid on these jobs. Pricing typically runs $150–$800 depending on weight, access, and distance.
Do I have to pay before the move is complete?
No — that's the entire point. Your payment is held in escrow and only released after you walk through your new place and tap Approve. The movers never have your money during transit. This is the opposite of the traditional model where you pay at the truck door under cash duress.
