Established in 2008 Started in Bellevue, WA, On The Go Moving and its owners are a product of many years of experience in the moving industry. Coming from many different backgrounds, the small but innovative team of management came together to form a moving company with nothing but the clients needs in mind. This company has proved to be not only backed by knowledge and experience, but heart as well. On the Go Moving strives to be as efficient as possible without compromising the quality service that you deserve and expect. The key to any move is good planning. Our trained professional movers are more than capable of performing all the packing and moving of your belongings. Basic Moving Plan at $170 per hour – Includes two movers and one truck. Three Man Moving Plan at $245 per hour – Includes three movers and one truck. Four Man Moving Plan at $285 per hour – Includes four movers and a truck. All of these services are priced according to the number of movers. Each additional mover adds another $55 dollars per hour to the overall charge and each is based on the use of one truck. We will also provide all equipment necessary such as dollies, moving pads, and tools. **Get 1 Month of Storage for free or 10% off your Move, call for details!**

"It is going to cost as much as the packing/moving services to replace or repair the items that they destroyed or damaged. I hired On the Go for packing/moving services to help with a move within the same apartment complex. The movers were nice and the booking process was smooth. Given the very short distance of the move, I went with the basic insurance but their coverage is paltry. They damaged an expensive computer monitor beyond repair and only offered $15 for it. A wooden desk, filing cabinet, and outdoor table all have noticeable scrapes and damage. Other items were broken that were not well-packed and I'm sure there would have been more damage if I hadn't unpacked everything either the same day or the following day given the way that heavy items were packed in with delicate ones. Cables were also packed in different boxes from the items they went with, which has led to a lot of guesswork over which cord goes which what electronics. I've never had this many items destroyed or damaged. The damage wasn't apparent until after the movers had left. Even though there was decent service, this was overall the most disappointing experience I've ever had with movers and I will not be using On the Go again."

"If I could give zero stars, I would. We recently hired Keep Moving, and it was by far the worst moving experience we’ve ever had—and we’ve done multiple cross-state moves with zero issues. This company is disorganized, careless, and completely unprofessional, despite claiming to be “reputable.” We had five movers, and somehow what should’ve been a straightforward move turned into a 12-hour ordeal with two trips, countless mishandled items, and a massive amount of unnecessary stress. The team wasted time joking around, smoking in our garage, and showed no sense of urgency, respect, or coordination. Yet we were charged premium rates. The Damages and Issues: Our $3,000 Sony OLED TV was destroyed: screen cracked, case damaged, and now it won’t even power on. Our full-size cello was mishandled—string snapped and bridge shifted out of place—requiring professional repair. Fragile boxes were crushed under heavy ones, breaking irreplaceable items. Furniture was left disassembled, some pieces were left behind entirely, and clearly labeled boxes were dumped in a single room with no regard for where anything belonged. Our carpet was ruined due to no floor protection at the home we were moving from—despite being told this would be done. Moving blankets were left behind, items were half-unwrapped and abandoned, and in an absolutely absurd practice, the movers dumped our belongings out of their boxes to reuse the boxes for something else. And worst of all: during the move, I walked into the master bedroom and found one of the movers going through my dresser drawers—specifically my underwear drawer—and boxing up my personal items without permission. They never asked. They simply took it upon themselves to rifle through my things. This was a complete violation of privacy and totally inappropriate. After all of this, Keep Moving offered a laughable $150 in compensation, which we had to fight to get raised to $350. That still doesn’t come close to covering the damage, stress, or time we’ve lost trying to fix what they failed to do right. They call themselves reputable? They currently have a D- rating with the Better Business Bureau, and there are multiple reviews with complaints eerily similar to ours. That’s not a coincidence—that’s a serious pattern. Bottom Line: Keep Moving does not stand by its advertised values of care, professionalism, or trust. If you care about your belongings, your privacy, and your peace of mind—do not hire this company. Let me know if you’d like this tightened up into a shorter version too for quick posting. You said: let's add that google reviews are polished due to them offering incentives to rank their company high ChatGPT said: Absolutely. Here's the final, polished version of your 0-star review with that detail included: If I could give zero stars, I would. We recently hired Keep Moving, and it was by far the worst moving experience we’ve ever had—and we’ve moved multiple times without issue. This company is disorganized, careless, and blatantly unprofessional, despite claiming to be “reputable.” We hired five movers, and what should’ve been a simple move turned into a 12-hour mess with two trips, countless mishandled items, and an overwhelming amount of stress. The crew wasted time joking around, smoking in our garage, and showed zero respect for our time, property, or personal space. The Damages and Red Flags: Our $3,000 Sony OLED TV was destroyed—cracked screen, damaged housing, and now won’t power on at all. Our full-size cello had its string popped and bridge knocked askew due to mishandling. Fragile boxes were crushed under heavy boxes, resulting in broken and irreplaceable items. Furniture was left disassembled, some pieces were left behind entirely, and clearly labeled boxes were dumped into one room without care. Our carpet was soiled because the movers didn’t lay down floor protection at our old home, despite promising they would. Moving blankets were left behind, items were half-unwrapped and abandoned, and in a completely bizarre move—they emptied our belongings out of boxes to reuse the boxes for themselves. And the most disturbing part: I walked into our master bedroom to find one of the movers going through my dresser drawers—specifically my underwear drawer—boxing up personal items without my knowledge or permission. There was no request, no communication—just a total violation of privacy. Keep Moving initially offered $150 in compensation. After weeks of back and forth, they raised it to $350, but it still doesn’t begin to cover what was lost or damaged—not to mention the time and emotional toll this has taken. They claim to be reputable, but if you dig past their curated image, you'll find many reviews describing similar experiences. One important thing to note: their Google reviews are artificially inflated, as they offer incentives to customers in exchange for high ratings. That’s why the glowing reviews don’t reflect the reality of what you might experience. Final Thoughts: Keep Moving does not uphold the values it advertises—there is no trust, no professionalism, and absolutely no customer care. If you value your belongings, your time, and your privacy, do not hire this company."

Moving services FAQs

Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including: 

  • Is there anything your company won’t move? 

  • Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?

  • Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture? 

  • Are there packing restrictions?

  • Can you guarantee my delivery date?

  • Can you provide references? 

  • What do you charge extra for?

  • What is your cancellation policy?

Moving insurance helps protect your belongings from damage or loss during the moving process. This policy can help reimburse you either part of or the total amount of your belongings that become damaged during the moving process. Moving insurance has three main options: full value protection, released value protection, and third-party or separate liability coverage. Speak with your moving company to determine what is covered under each policy and their cost to determine the best fit for your needs. 

The average cost to hire movers is between $920 and $2,530 for local moves and $2,700 to $10,000 for long-distance moves. The number of movers you need, the total mileage you’re moving, your moving date, and ease of access to your home all factor into the bottom line. 

For example, if you only need one or two movers, you can expect to pay $25 to $50 an hour. However, if you need four or more movers, that charge increases to $100 to $200 an hour. Moving specialty items, like a piano or large aquarium, will incur additional charges.

In the world of professional moving, moves are broken up into two categories—a local move and a long-distance move. A local move is anything considered under 100 miles, regardless if you’re crossing over state lines. A long-distance move is anything over 100 miles, even if you stay in the same state or location.

If you’re hiring movers to help with your move, there are a few things that you can do ahead of time to set yourself (and the moving company) up for success.

  • Donate or sell items ahead of time to lessen the amount to move

  • Alert your neighbors (or apartment management) of the move so they can plan for the moving truck to arrive

  • Pack your belongings securely ahead of your moving date

  • Disconnect any appliances prior to the moving date

  • Clear a path for the movers to move freely inside your home 

  • Dispose of hazardous materials

  • Discuss with your moving coordinator where to unload the boxes
