The Cost of Moving Services in Swarthmore, PA

Beyond factors like home size, heavy items, and stairs, the biggest cost difference comes down to your moving service type.

We ordered a big pod for our Florida move. I would highly recommend this moving company and the 3 men that did our job. Ontime and respectful. We were nervous that everything was going to fit in the pod. But they kept assuring us it would.. we are magicians ?? and everything did! Thank you!

Highly, highly recommend H&M Movers. We'll be calling them for our next move. They were personable, friendly and FAST! We hired them to help unload our POD container. We were unable to open the POD because items had shifted and were blocking the door. They didn't hesitate to step in and do what was needed to get it open. Once it was open they sprang to action and unloaded it in no time.

Great work once both guys showed up and we finished a 2 hour job in 35 minutes, but the guys were misscheduled (which i don't fault them for) so one guy showed up on time and the other guy showed up an hour later. Would recommend and use again, but just make sure your timing is a little flexible.
