Don't just take our word for it, read what our customers say
Our NJ move was made so much easier because of Roy and Steve! Everything arrived safely, and the Fellows set every piece of furniture in place expertly. They even helped me with the difficult decisions about where to put it all! Thank you again for a very pleasant experience!
I just wanted to let you know that I was concerned about my move from NJ to Florida. I had concerns based on what I heard about moving companies and their business practices. I have to say my entire experience with American Movers Inc. has been very satisfying. Both teams in N.J. and Florida were very professional and hard working. I would recommend you to anyone that was moving.
Just a short note to praise the crew you sent yesterday to move my contents in Leisure Village East, Lakewood. Earl and his crew were the kindest, hardworking people had met in a very long time. They were truly a professional, caring group and worked beautifully together. They took special care of what most people would consider “junk” and not a sneer in the group when I had asked them to do something/anything. You are very fortunate to have such competent workers!!! Thank you for all your help and I will let you know as soon as the house is ready in San Antonio to accept the items.
Dear Adam,
A sincere “thank you” to you and everyone at American Movers of NJ for ensuring our office relocation was “worry-free”.
When Ernesto arrived at our office on Saturday morning he immediately took a walk-thru to see what he was dealing with and then got the men to work. The crew’s speed and care in wrapping the furniture to ensure nothing was damaged during transport was exceptional. Everyone I dealt with within your organization was professional and courteous.
If I am ever asked to refer a moving company I will be giving you and your company’s name with the highest recommendation.
Best Wishes for a Happy Holiday and continued success in the New Year!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my possessions be stored temporarily?
If you are unable to take immediate possession of your new residence, your belongings can be stored in a our warehouse. Weather you need to be stored for a couple of days or for a longer time American Movers will be happy to provide you with safe and clean facilities.
Do you move cars?
A moving company and a car carrier may work hand in hand but are different services. American Movers will be happy to recommend a car carrier upon request.
Can I move my pet?
Pets cannot be carried on the moving van. Dogs, cats, canaries and parakeets can usually be transported in the family car. If this isn’t convenient, American Movers will be glad to suggest alternate ways to ship your pets safely.
Can I pack my china, glass and crystal?
Most people prefer to have their household possessions, especially fragile items, professionally packed by a moving company. However, if you decide to pack these items yourself, remember that the basic principles of good packing include wrapping the items individually, providing plenty of cushioning and making sure of a firm pack.
How long does it take to move?
Because the furnishings of the average household will not fill a van, it is often necessary for two or more shipments to be loaded on the same Truck. Each shipment is carefully sectioned off from the others. This depends on many factors, such as the time of year, weather conditions, size of your shipment, time required to load and unload, and the direction and distance your shipment is traveling.
When is it best to schedule a move?
It is important to remember that moving is a seasonal business with peak months being May-September. If you are planning a move during these months, we recommend making your reservation 4-6 weeks in advance. Also, the last and first few days of the month are especially busy, so please plan accordingly.
Why do movers put more than one household shipment on a trailer in a long distance move?
We do this for efficiency and to keep the costs down. We do have direct shipments available, but most customers choose to have their moves completed in a standard way so that it will be more affordable.

Do you offer hoisted services?
If you know that you have an item that will need to be hoisted, you will have to contact a hoisting specialist, as we do not provide such a service. We recommend you make such arrangements for a time when it will not interfere with the rest of the move.
What are additional services?
Any service that is provided in addition to the line haul is typically an additional service. These can include crating, packing, unpacking, appliance services, special handling, stairs, long carries or shuttle service if access to your residence is limited. Your moving consultant can fully explain the range of services and charges.
Can I move jewelry and other valuables?
Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, photographs, antiques and stamp collections can be included in your shipment, provided you notify American Movers of these items before packing or moving day. However, we strongly recommend that you carry irreplaceable and expensive articles with you, or make other arrangements for their transport.

Do you charge for packing materials?
Any materials that are requested or used by your moving team (boxes, packing paper, tape, etc) will be charged additionally.
Does my home owners policy cover my moving expenses?
Most home owner policies do not provide moving coverage. Contact your company to see if they can provide you with coverage for a special premium.
Is it possible for you to move plants?
It is against the law to transport plants across state lines. Federal Regulations allow a mover to transport plants if the trip is fewer than 15 miles. However, we cannot guarantee their safety. In general, we recommend that you make arrangements to transport your plants.
