How long does it take to move a home?

The best answer to this question is – it depends. There are many factors that influence how long your move will last. The weather, the distance, the size of your relocation etc.

When should I pay for moving services?

Normally, after the relocation is finished. Anyway, we suggest contacting the movers and asking if they have a specific deadline.

When is the best time to move?

There are two answers to this question. ○ If you want the best weather and full comfort for your move, summer is definitely the time when you should move. ○ If you want the best price for your move, then the off-peak season is the recommended time for your move. For moving, the off-peak season is winter.

When should I hire a moving company?

To make sure you’ll be able to hire the best movers and to get the best price, hire a moving company at least a few months in advance.

Called guys last minute and they were super responsive. Normally they wouldn’t have been available but they had a cancellation. Got me right in to the schedule and sent some really professional guys over to move my things from storage into my new apartment. Most moving companies help rides the clock but Swift Move’s full time employees got it done FAST and when I got the bill it was actually much less than they had originally quoted me. What a great value I highly recommend them and I’ll definitely use them again!

This is the second move where we used Swift Moves, and they are the best movers EVER. (And we have moved a lot.) They wrap your furniture, they're efficient, they're SWIFT, they're good-natured, they're courteous, they don't pull any last-minute charges, they communicate, they're just great. Listen,we all know it's totally not fun to move. But if you have to move, do it with Swift Moves. You will be pleased.

If you’re in need of a excellent moving company in Tampa area this company will get the job done. After calling 4 different companies, I found Swift Moves. They were very knowledgeable and explained everything to me in detail. They have insurance which is great just to be safe. Keshawn and Reinaldo were great. They were on time. Listened to detail and delivered. They took care of my belongings. They made my move so easy which I couldn’t thank them enough. They did it in a timely manner as well. Superb customer service with excellent work ethic. Jeremey, I believe the owner, called and handled all of the paper work for me and made me feel confident in choosing this company. He even did a follow up call the next day just to make sure everything was okay. Talk about going above and beyond. Great jobs guys. Keep up the amazing work! Book them, you won’t be disappointed.

I used Swift Moves recently and my experience with them was very positive. I originally thought I would use a two man crew, but I am glad a three man crew was suggested and I went with that. The team was prompt, efficient, courteous, and provided good options for moving my belongings. They performed smooth breakdowns and set up. They placed the items where I needed and overall it was a good move. There were a couple of nicks and a small lamp casualty, but nothing of consequence that I would complain about overall. I am very realistic about moves in general and I would most certainly use them again and plan to. I selected them because of their reviews and I am glad that I did. You are most certainly in good hands with them and that is a rare thing to claim these days.

Recently used Swift Moves to unload 2 Pods and a 16 ft uhaul. They did a wonderful job and took extra care with delicate furniture. Will be using again.

These guys were efficient and made our move so much easier and stress free. Before I could even finish paperwork, they already had handfuls of furniture out by the truck. They're affordably priced and don't hit you with surprise fees after the job is finished like some companies do. I got exactly what I paid for and couldn't be more satisfied. Money well spent!

I hired Swift Moves to move me out of my condo and into another. Because the close dates were not on the same day, I had to go into storage for about 9 days. Swift Moves did an excellent job moving my stuff into storage and then on a second move out of storage into my new place. Justin, Alex, Reinaldo, and Tim took care of me. I recommend.

This company was excellent. They had to deal with 3 flights of stairs to move us out of our townhome. And up stairs to get to our 2nd story apartment. Very professional, polite and extremely courteous. They arrived on a Sunday morning...We surely would reccomend them.

Fast and friendly! We had three guys come out who worked great together and had great, friendly attitudes. They wasted no time, and moved our two bedroom house in less than 3 hours. They were also careful with our furniture.

During a VERY stressful time of moving to another state, I used this company to load my belongings on the moving truck. The three fellas that participated in that move Chris, Terrell, and Alex were kind, efficient, and professional. Their great customer service made me smile during such a stressful time. Great going Guys!

We just used these guys. We are unpacked and in our new home.Summary: Hire this company. Save yourself the time and energy. This company can do the ‘heavy lifting’ that stresses people in every move.Review: Beyond expectations. They took great care and handle of all of our items. They worked quickly and efficiently. Their rate was already below what their competitors were (and we had shopped around to about 15 different places), and they performed perfectly.I have already told my realtor friends about these guys. Hopefully I’m able to give them some extra business because more companies should have staff like this.Tim, Tim and Tyler. Ask for these pros by name. You will be more than happy with the results.No dings, no damage, no headaches, all quality. They packed a lot, worked with us on our “handle with care items” and then loaded it up. Lighting quick.Thank you and your team for such an stress relieving service.PS. I thought I00%, that I knew how much time the move would take. I was way off and I’m glad Justin and Jeremy corrected it. Take their recommendations, you’ll save more time and money.

Had an excellent experience with Swift Moves! They were able to accommodate a last-minute change in the date of my move when my closing date got moved up, as well as worked with me on moving the time of the move back to accommodate the rain the morning of my move. Josh, Chris, and Tyler were awesome, fast, professional, and clearly knew what they were doing! Highly recommend Swift Moves!

I manage a small custom cabinet shop and when the last moving company I used closed without its doors without notice Swift Moves came and has been nothing but amazing for almost a year! With any where from 2-8 delivery a month they have always been punctual, Courteous, easy to work with and have always been available to move even on very short notices of a day or less! Would highly recommend using them!

The Tim’s were great! Both movers names were Tim and they did a great job. We were moving from a 3 story Townhouse which meant a lot of stairs and turns. The Tim’s handled our stuff with care and it all got to our new place intact and pretty fast for having to maneuver the stairs. Would use Swift again and would recommend them to anybody looking for movers.

I would not recommend using this company!!The two young men got sloppy toward the end of the job and put furniture in the pod and U-Haul where it would have gotten damaged if I had not noticed it in time.In addition, a pair of brand new Apple AirPods were missing after they left. They do not admit to taking them, but they were in plain sight before they arrived and no longer there after they left. Management is not willing to remedy this situation. Their only suggestion was that I call the police, whom I know will do nothing about it.

My movers, Tyler and Tyler were great! I called several different movers and they quoted me over $2k for a Sarasota to St. Pete move! Swift moves had the best quote. Tyler and Tyler were on time, funny, easy to work with, responsible, and quick! Not one issue or ounce of trouble! I highly recommend Swift Moves! Have already told my realtor about you guys to tell her clients! Thank you for making this stressful time a smooth transition!!

Jeramiah & Tyler were on time, true professionals and a pleasure to work with! Highly recommend Swift Moves here in St. Pete! From our first contact with Justin to discuss the move and pricing through to completion of our move - again thanks to the great work of J & T! Thank you Swift Moves!

Tyler and Jeremiah arrive on time. Surveyed the scope which was a 1900sqft home and only going 5 blocks so they started. They had everything disassembled, loaded, moved and unloaded in 3 hours. They charged exactly what was quoted. Most companies I called the rate was just about the same but Swift told me they would use blankets and wrap the wood furniture. Tyler and Jeremiah did just that! Super team! Thanks guys.

This company is truly phenomenal! They are very personable, friendly, kind, reliable, punctual, and most importantly always professional. During my move, we found out that our unit had a pest control problem and our apartment complex had to relocate us immediately. Swift moves was amazing enough to accommodate 2 moves in the same week under very short notice. They went above and beyond to help us out in our unique situation, and I would recommend this company to anybody who needs help moving and would like the process to be stress free. I cannot stress enough how amazing this company is, and I will most definitely be using their services the next time I move. Thank you Swift Moves!!!

Even with last minute changes. Jeremy honored our original rate. The team was professional, friendly and funny. A few inexpensive items were broken but the value was deducted from my total with no hassle. Good Choice Overall.

I used Swift Moves recently for a move from St. Pete to Tampa. Communication throughout the whole process was great. Jeremy was easy to deal with and was very professional about everything. They called to remind me a few days before, and called me when they were on the way with an ETA as promised. Tim & the two other guys who helped were very nice and friendly and they got the work done within the quoted time. I’ll certainly be calling them for a quote on our next move when our lease is up!

We had a great experience! Tim & Matt were very professional. They unassembled, moved and reassembled the furniture with great care. We have a big massage chair which we were worried about moving. Tim took time and was very detailed with the unassembly and then reassembling the chair after the move. During the move, one of our dinning chairs got broken which they did not charge for. Very happy with their service !

Thank you to Robert and Ty! They were professional, accomodating, and gracious! I really appreciate the great job they did helping us with our move! Justin was also so patient and helpful as I made (and needed to change) my reservations! We're very pleased!

Moving is always such a stressful time and this move seemed to be particularly so. When I decided to hire movers to handle the larger items in my house, I put out an internet inquiry. Justin was quick to respond, his prices were competitive and fair and he was friendly and easy to speak to...moreso than the majority of the others that I spoke with, so he got the job.Come moving day, the three gentlemen who showed up to my house exactly on time, were not only thorough and very careful with all of my belongings (to the point that they took more care than perhaps I would have with certain items), but they were polite and friendly and very, very helpful.Moving with Swift Moves made my move much easier. Start-to-finish they were professional and courteous, the price was fair, and God forbid I have to move again, I would go right back to them to handle the job. If you want it done right, you can't go wrong with Swift Moves.
