This package is a great choice for these reasons:

  • Moving protection: Everything you own is valuable and you want to ensure it’s protected against damage or loss. While you can count on our experts to handle your belongings safely, having them insured guarantees that you will be compensated if anything unfortunate occurs.
  • In-home/video tour: We provide in-home or video tours to help assess your needs and make the packing process easier.
  • Great communication: Staying in touch with your mover helps ensure that your questions, concerns, and requests are addressed. You can call or email us anytime you need to go over your moving plan, inventory, or your moving date.

It’s never a good idea to pack in a rush. That’s why we work with you to establish a suitable moving date. This prepares you mentally for the move and allows us to show up on time and pack everything with extra care and attention.

Having a moving in/out box makes it easy for you to access the items that you need during the move such as toiletries. We’ll help you determine what those items are and pack them closest to the door so you can access them easily.

Tips Before You Move

Below we have compiled some tips that may assist our customers during the pre-move process.

  1. Do not pack with masking tape or slim cellophane tape. Use PVC (poly-vinyl chloride).
  2. Utilize newspapers just to cushion belongings, not for wrapping things. The ink on the newspapers may rub off and can recolor items, for example, fine china.
  3. Pack similar items together. Try not to pack a fragile china figurine in a similar container with cast iron frying pan, for instance.
  4. Wind electrical cords, tightening them so they don’t dangle.
  5. Seal containers firmly with tape, aside from those containing things that must be left open for the van operator’s inspection.

8 Critical Things You Need To Prepare For Movers

Getting ready to move? Here’s 8 tips on moving effectively while using a moving company like us.

Be Thorough

  • When hiring a mover, make sure you and the company are fully aware of all property to be moved
  • Often, a mover can do an in-home or video tour
  • Don’t always choose the lowest price, that doesn’t mean the best

Review Their Estimate

  • Even if you feel you talked about everything, review the estimate
  • Walk through your house and property to check off any line items
  • Make note of additional concerns and contact the mover

If Possible, Make an Inventory

  • The average American home has a lot of individual items
  • Inventory as much as possible, emphasizing your expensive items
  • This allows you to check your moved property at your new location to make sure everything made it

If You are Packing, Pack Smart

  • Avoid mixing items from different rooms in the same box
  • Give plenty of time for your kitchen
  • Pack important and sentimental in specially marked boxes for easy access
  • Make sure the movers leave boxes you need quickly closest to the door.

Establish a Set Moving Date as Soon as Possible.

  • You don’t want the date to be a guess.
  • You need to be mentally prepared for the move.
  • Make time to prepare your home and pack certain special, fragile objects. This is never good to do in a rush.

Know What Cannot Be Transported

  • Ask your mover for a list of things they won’t move
  • It’s usually chemicals or money and varies with each mover
  • Contact us to talk about items you might have concerns with

Create a Packing Plan

  • While the mover may do most of the packing, have a plan
  • We have done a lot of moves but we don’t know your preferences
  • If possible, email it to the mover before the moving day

Establish Knowledge about Insurance

  • Talk to your mover about insurance
  • Ask what it does and does not cover

Testimonials of Our clients

Impressed! Kobe, Matt and Anderson showed up right on time with positive attitudes.(that is rare these days) I was quoted a certain amount for a certain number of hours and they beat that time by two hours. They worked quickly and efficiently. I watched how they handled our HomeGoods and they were gentle and very careful with our items. Nothing was broken and they were extremely professional. I would highly recommend this company and moving crew to anyone moving.

These guys were great! Jason, Anthony, Brandon, and one other young man (I forgot his name, sorry bro) worked quickly and efficiently with zero complaints. And no damage to anything moved! Kim was also incredibly helpful with getting an estimate and scheduling the move. I'm not sure what else you could want from a moving company.One weird thing though, I got asked for a tip while paying digitally with my card. I'm not sure that's a normal thing for a moving business to be doing. Obviously that has nothing to do with the crew though.

Just had a positive experience with This Side Up Moving, Huntsville, AL. Moving is stressful however from start to finish this move went off without any problems. After communicating with several local companies I made the decision to go with This Side Up largely in part to my initial communication with Kim N. On the day of the move Jonathan G. and Zack F. showed up on time and worked until the job was finished. They were very professional, and respectful of my property from start to finish. I will not hesitate to contact This Side Up in the future. Thank you Kim, Jonathan, and Zack!

We recently moved to a new house in town and hired This Side Up Moving which turned out to be the best decision! They exceeded our expectations! Zak Steele, Zack F., and Antonio were prompt, professional, friendly, thorough, gentle with our belongings, and just overall fantastic! They had to dodge a lot of walls and did not scratch a single thing. They truly impressed us and we are so grateful for their help! I highly recommend This Side Up Moving!

The movers arrived as scheduled and began carefully wrapping all items that took special care. They went above and beyond, assisting me if I needed help. I cannot say enough about Jonathan, Daniel, Kanoa and Matthew, they worked continuously and were always pleasant and professional. From loading at my former home to unloading at my new home, it was an 11 hour day for them with only a half hour for lunch. I am originally from the West Coast and have moved 6 times in 10 years to various west coast states and I have not had movers that were as competent as these gentlemen from This Side Up Moving. I highly recommend this company for any moving needs an individual may have!

Would recommend these guys to anyone, they were very efficient and took great care with all my furniture. My crew was Zack Steele, Jonathan, and Kalai- and if I needed movers again I’d likely ask for them again if only because they were so respectful and willing to help. Amazing crew!

I was very pleased with our movers- Antonio, Jonathan, and Matt. They wrapped everything very well and were careful with all our furniture. They worked very hard and didn’t even take a lunch break. They were very professional, and it was obvious that they were well trained on how to move furniture. They loaded all our things on October 22nd. Anytime I had any questions, they were very knowledgeable and answered all my questions in a satisfactory manner. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to move and are concerned about the care of their furniture.Jonathan and Zac also were two of the movers who unloaded our furniture at our new home on October 23rd. Again, I was pleased with everything they did. However, I was not as pleased with the third person who helped with the unloading. His name was Zac. I thought he was a little rougher with the furniture than a Jonathan and Matt. If I had it to do over again, I would not have tipped him as much as the other two- if at all. He was also not as friendly as Jonathan and Matt, nor as respectful. While I am pleased overall with our moving experience, I would not recommend Zac and would ask that he not be one they send if I ever have to move again.

I hired This Side Up Moving for my recent move, and I can’t recommend them enough! From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and stress-free.Anthony, Tye, and Ethen arrived on time, fully prepared, and with a positive attitude. They handled my belongings with the utmost care, ensuring everything was packed securely. I was especially impressed by their efficiency—what could have been a long and tiring process turned out to be quick and organized.If you’re looking for a reliable and professional moving company, look no further than This Side Up Moving. I’ll definitely be recommending them to friends and family!

There are moving companies and then there is THE moving company….the most reliable, the most professional, the most caring. This Side Up Moving Company of Huntsville, AL is THE best moving company I have ever seen! From the most kind and professional movers (ours were Steele, Kalai, and Justin) to the most friendly office staff to the manager (who visited during the move just to be sure we were happy with how it was all going), it was the best moving experience we have ever had! And the condition of our furniture once the move was completed…..NOT ONE SCRATCH! I highly recommend this company and, again, Steele, Kalai, and Justin…..the best we have ever seen!

This moving company was great. I was 2 weeks away from my move and I was starting to get worried because the few other places I had reached out to were not getting back with me. I got lucky and seen one of the This Side Up Moving trucks on my way to work. When I called, they answered right away. They helped work up a quote and sent it to me, called me back shortly after to check in to make sure I received it. I was able to call back in a few hours to book and pay my deposit. The morning of the move Heath Wooten and Mr. Steele gave me a call to let me know they were on their way. They were very polite and got everything done very quickly, while also being careful with my things and wrapping everything. If they weren't sure about something, they made sure to ask first instead of assumed. They got everything unloaded at the house and storage unit in decent time. They answered any of my questions and just all in all made this move a lot easier and gave me piece of mind that my furniture was In good hands. I will definitely be using this company in any future moves I have.
