When you're planning a move across state lines, it’s critical to hire a licensed, reputable moving company — not a broker or online scam operation.
At Reliable Movers, we’ve provided safe, honest, and professional long-distance moving services for over 25 years. From single-room moves to full households, we offer customized moving plans designed to fit your needs, timeline, and budget.
We serve destinations across the East Coast and Midwest, with guaranteed pricing, exclusive truck options, and real delivery timelines — not 2-week delivery windows.
Binding Estimates Only — no weight-based surprises
Exclusive Truck Use (available at no extra charge)
Guaranteed Delivery Date (weather and traffic permitting)
No middlemen, no brokers, no double-booking
Owner-operated and family-run — not a franchise
We perform free in-home estimates to build your inventory and give you a guaranteed price in writing from point A to point B.
Over the years, we’ve helped many customers recover after being misled by online brokers or scammed by overseas call centers pretending to be moving companies. Most people don’t realize they’ve hired a broker until it’s too late.
Learn exactly what a moving broker is and how to spot one before signing any contract.
Here are some red flags to watch for:
They request a down payment via bank transfer, ACH, or Cash App
Their quote is extremely low (e.g., $1999 from NY to Florida)
They claim to be in New Jersey — this is a red flag for overseas scams
They price your move by cubic feet . Movers can only bid you by weight or binding estimate.
They won't say if they are a broker — always ask directly
They refuse to give a binding estimate in writing
They have only 5-star reviews — often paid or fake
NEVER pay a deposit by ACH or debit card.
Avoid any company that won’t give you a flat-rate or binding quote

(Look for “Authorized for HHG” and “Active” status)
Reliable Movers offers binding estimates only — meaning your price is locked in as long as the conditions don’t change. We do not use weight-based pricing, which is prone to upselling and manipulation.
Inventory changes — adding a whole room or multiple large items
Box weight issues — boxes over 50 lbs or overstuffed XL totes
More boxes than originally quoted
Excessive stairs, elevator distance, or long walkways
Extra stops or storage drop-offs
Shuttle service needs (when large trucks can’t access your road or complex)
Waiting time due to delayed closings, elevator sharing, or move-in inspections
Unlike national van lines that mix your items with multiple shipments and delay delivery for 2–3 weeks, Reliable Movers provides:
Direct-to-destination moves
No co-mingling of shipments
Same crew from load to unload
Your belongings are not transferred, stacked, or shifted to fit someone else’s schedule. Our trucks are loaded and sent straight to your new city or state.
We offer personal, on-site walk throughs and guaranteed flat-rate pricing. No brokers. No hidden charges. No bait-and-switch.
