October 28, 2010
Based on Milestone Relocation Solutions Inc., a national moving company's, performance data for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010, demand for moving services in the United States market increased by a huge margin, compared to years 2007 and 2006. This means that residents of the US lately have been relocating even more often than during the years of economic growth.
Based on Milestone Relocation Solutions data, there are 2 tendencies observed: people have been moving from larger cities to suburbs locally, as well as relocating to less-populated and less-expensive states across the country.
Cities like Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, Washington DC and Chicago have been seeing a lot of population relocating to less-expensive suburban areas. Another interesting fact is a decrease in an average move size time-wise, which suggests people are cutting down on their furniture and other goods that are not of the major importance, as well as tendency of people moving to smaller residences. While several years ago residents tended to look for more spacious places to settle in, economic uncertainty seems to have made them adjust the living habits and choose smaller, therefore more affordable, houses or apartments.
Another interesting observation would be moving to less-populated states with a lower cost of living. Based on the study, loss of professional jobs made a certain pool of people, especially young professionals, trade the bigger and more expensive cities they had come after graduating and being hired by large firms with high salaries into smaller rural areas where cost of living is much more affordable.
In conclusion, it must be noted that the tendencies described above did not do harm to relocation industry. On the contrary, although average revenue per job and profit margins suffered, overall profitability, due to increased number of moves, has gone up compared to 2006 and 2007. Ironically, this can be credited to slower and, at one point, barely alive economy, which left people no other choice but relocate to smaller, less expensive residencies in less expensive geographical areas.

I must say that this is the best encounter that I have ever had with a moving company! They were very professional, efficient, courteous and of course on time. I have no complaints. They actually finished an hour early. They ensured that all of my items were neatly loaded and unloaded on and off the truck and ensured that every item was placed securely in my new location. quotes |
My family and I used this company for a move a few days before Christmas. The crew, Martin and John, were wonderful. They were polite, communicated with us to tell us when they would be there, etc. When we got to the storage unit, they were pleasant to work with and accommodated my husband's wishes about how and where to place certain items. |
I had to move my stuff out of a shared house quick and in a hurry because of a crappy situation. I called on a Thursday to book a move for that Sunday. The person I talked to suggested Monday because it was cheaper, so we set it up for Monday. I asked about the $199 2 hour move because I only had one bedroom and a living room to move. The guy on the phone told me the movers would disassemble and wrap everything. We scheduled a move between 8 and 9 am. The movers were great. They had to climb lots of stairs to move stuff from my third floor bedroom. They moved all my things into a storage unit 10 minutes away and they packed the storage unit so well, I still have room for more things in there. They went slightly over the 2 hours, but didn't charge me the ridiculous extra $149 for another hour. They did an amazing job and I would definitely use them again. quotes |
Moving just a few blocks doesn't seem like much, but it is as much work as moving across the country. Milestone's movers were there and emptied my apartment in a careful and fast manner. Unloading into my new place took only minutes; I took advantage of their special, and am so happy I did. Would highly recommend them for anyone moving. quotes |
Milestone helped me with a move at the end of September and yet again they did a fantastic job! I've been a repeat customer of theirs over the years because of the professional, friendly and reliable service I always receive from them. They are on time, efficient, careful with the items they move and very reliable!!! They are professionals in every sense of the word! I would use them again! Thank you Milestone!!! quotes |
The three movers were professional, strong and hard working. I was their second move of the day and they were to arrive between 2 and 4, they contacted me at 3 to let me know that they would be there at 4 and they were. They worked the whole time and were very fair about charging for the time, no games were played. I would not hesitate to recommend these guys to anyone. Awesome job! quotes |
My move was only a short distance, going from a house to an apartment. The main area of concern for me was the heavy boxes of books to be moved to my second floor apartment. The movers did it in a very efficient manner and I was pleased with their service. Although the move took longer than the estimated 2 hours, it was definitely worth my money. quotes |
I would hire this company again. The moving price was affordable. The movers were prompt in moving and delivering my furniture and damaged nothing in the process. The movers were professional and very experienced in disassembling and reassembling my furniture. quotes |
This was my first experience in using a mover and I am happy to say that Milestone made it a very pleasant experience. The moving consultant was professional and helpful. The movers were very efficient and accommodating. They moved me in less than four hours (which included driving time). I would definitely consider Milestone in the future and would recommend them to others. quotes |
We just needed to move big items from one bedroom apartment to a new apartment a mile down the road so we used the $199 small move special. Price included 2 hours of moving and the two guys were very efficient and finished in 1.5 hours. They were very nice and professional. quotes |
The guys were very courteous and extremely careful with all of our things. They moved everything with no damage and made sure everything was put together when they left. I will definitely use them again. quotes |
It's my second successful move with this company. Like last time, movers were amazing. Price was right too, considering the work that was done. Thank you again! quotes |
Hi Jim, |
Absolutely wonderful company. They delivered on what they promised. There were no surprises on the cost, all details were relayed accurately. The movers were very professional, friendly, and worked efficiently. I would most definitely use them again in the future! I will also recommend them to my family and friends. quotes |
I just wanted to say thanks again! The gentlemen that facilitated the move did an excellent job. It is rare as a consumer to receive such superb service. Although, I did thank them personally, please convey the message again! quotes |
I had a small move from apartment to home and it went excellently. The two movers sent were great. They were fast, organized and completely professional. I would definitely recommend. quotes |
I just moved today and had to submit this review.Dave and Jamil were the best! I am extremely pleased and grateful to them and Milestone Relocation Solutions for such a pleasant, professional and inexpensive move! They were just phenomenal. If I decide to move again I will definitely request them again and I would recommend the company to family and friends. Thank you again for making my move absolutely hassle free! quotes |
Milestone Relocation did an amazing job with my move last week. Move took under 3 hours and I haven't found any damages nor scratches on my walls or furniture. Price doesn't bite either - as a matter of fact, they have a really straight forward and no surprise price structure. |
I used these guys for my recent move. It was a huge move, 5 people and 2 fully loaded trucks. Although I wasn't moving far, the volume alone made it a very complicated move. I wasn't too eager for a moving day to come. |
Jim, the guys you sent to move my furniture were great. They were polite, progressional, and concerned about the care of my items. GREAT JOB!! quotes |

My daughter needed to move for the 4th time in less than 15 months. I called milestone and was very happy to watch while the two man crew carried everything from the 3rd floor to the truck--no elevator. They had everything loaded promptly and unloaded even faster--the new apartment had an elevator. I was very satisfied and would use them for the next move. Thank you! Julie. quotes |
Moving is not easy and god help if the movers are rude or just unprofessional . I chose this company coz they provided me with the best rate and the day and time i wanted ...My whole moving was just awesome. Frank enough; there was no tension or hassle throughout my entire move.The crew was polite, very quick in their work, and they were very careful with my stuff ..the employees were the nicest movers I've met. quotes |
I requested same crew that moved me last time since I was really satisfied with the work Mike and Tommy did. However, I had to settle for John and Randy instead, but as it turned out, that made no difference. The move went as good as my previous one. I thought perhaps the first time I got lucky, but my second moving experience with Milestone proved they have really good crews. No matter what crew is assigned to your job, seems like one team will nail it down better than the other. THANK YOU. quotes |
