General

Swift Moving Services is the most trusted and loved moving and storage company in New Jersey delivering reliability, results, safety, competitive pricing and comprehensive customer service that sets us apart from our competitors.

The city’s only on-demand mover, offering 24/7 moving on 365 days of the year, including holidays, to fit your needs.

 

We are a fully licensed and insured company, that is BBB accredited and complies with the regulations of NJDOT and US DOT requirements and standards.

 

The best day of a week to move is definitely Sunday – with less traffic & better parking situations .

If your building is a doorman building that does not allow moves on weekends, Tuesday and Wednesday would be days of a week to aim for – since less people, as per our stats, move on these dates.

We recommend getting touch with us 2-4 weeks before your move, depending on your move complexity and size.

Yes, we can move you cross country, to and from any point in the US – as seamlessly as we move people within NJ, which is our base

 

While weather can affect NYC traffic and streets – and generally can add few more obstacles to a move (like snow or heavy rain) – our movers are trained & equipped to move in any kind of weather. So if the forecast is showing snow or heavy rain on your move day, don’t worry, we’ll come prepared with shovels and plastic covers!

 

We recommend moving in the morning if you and your building’s schedule allow that – our earliest regular time slot starts 7-9AM. The sooner we start, the sooner you’ll be all set enjoying your new home!

 

Pricing

 

We calculate your moving price based on the following factors;

 

  • Average volume of the item/inventory list provided by the client and the items that are being moved
  • The distance between the locations
  • Any special moving requirements
  • Accessibility of the truck
  • Date and time of the move

 

Depending on the size of your move, your moving crew will consist of 2/3/4 or 5 man crew! For a one-two bedroom apartment a 3 man crew is the most common, whereas we send crews with more members upon request

 

As a part of our standard service we will always provide boxes for your hanging clothes, TVs, mirrors and picture frames – and leave you to box up your personal belongings that can be easily fitted in a regular size box. We can also upgrade your moving package to include packers & packing supplies as a part of your moving service, so you don’t have to lift a finger!

 

The number of flights of stairs will always be noted on your contract with us and included in the one all inclusive price you have confirmed with our moving consultants.

Protection & Insurance

 

By default as required by Department of Transportation, your belongings will be covered with free BASIC coverage of $0.60 cents per pound per article (item). 

 

You dressers and generally all the furniture pieces should be empty before your move, in order to secure safe and and proper transport of a same. If you upgraded your moving quote with us and requested full packing service – please leave this part of the job to our moving crew!

 

No you can not ship your jewelry or important documents. We will not move these items for you, and will not be held liable if you pack these items in boxes without our prior knowledge. We advise you to separately pack and keep your documents and jewelry and store them securely while your home is open during your move, and to transport these items with you to the next location.

During and After Move:

 

However, keep in mind, that last moment requests that add significant volume to your already scheduled move, should be communicate before arrival of your moving crew so we can come prepared & plan our schedule accordingly.

Sizes of our trucks are:

  • 16ft (studio/one bed apartment)
  • 20ft (two bed apartment)
