Frequently Asked Questions
Load and Unloading Services Reviews
I had A Better Way moving company transport my father’s Steinway baby grand piano in Bloomington to their storage unit. We were worried a little bit about such a valuable instrument but they handled it very well and treated it with the upmost care. But the best aspect of the company was when we decided to move the piano out of storage and take it ourselves to Fort Wayne to reduce costs. Their price to move it there actually was very reasonable but we decided to do it ourselves. anyway. When we brought a truck to get the piano, they disassembled, wrapped and loaded the piano onto the truck which was not part of their responsibility. This was a very gracious act of professionalism and we appreciated it greatly. I would highly recommend them to any other musicians.

The owners are very kind and caring. One owner gave us an estimate and the other owner brought us boxes to pack as we chose to pack our own household items. The loaders were polite and asked a lot of questions about how we wanted things and they were just as polite and kind when they brought things into our new home in Lexington, Kentucky. I would consider allowing them to pack because I was not ready!! They took it all in stride. I also recommend reading the contract because they haul canned goods, cleaning supplies and most things if they are not flammable. We could have put a lot more on the truck! Prices are extremely reasonable. I would HIGHLY recommend using A Better Way Moving and Storage!

I was so happy when a friend recommended A Better Way. I was searching for a moving company to move my household to Florida and the quotes I received were ridiculously expensive with no guarantee there wouldn't be add on charges. Every company I researched had horror stories in their reviews. The reviews for A Better Way were very promising. When I called Randy for a quote, to my amazement we were able to book a whole truck for a flat fee! Wow did I save a lot of money. The crew was right on time to pickup and had us loaded in less than 2 hours. I found some items afterwards and took them to their facility for Mike to add to the truck. Mike pulled into the driveway of our new house right on time. The crew he hired to unload cancelled that morning so Mike and his wife unloaded most of it with just a little help from us. They still finished in less than 2 hours. I can't say how much I appreciated how easy A Better Way handled our interstate move. Nothing was damaged and the cost was exactly what they said it would be. Great job!

Randy and his crew have moved me multiple times. All my moves have been local. They've always been prompt, professional, courteous, and respectful. Better Way has never damaged even one item, and there's never been anything missing. During my last big move, the last of my belongings were moved on an especially bitter cold day in February. This last load of boxes was going into my garage and I knew that I wouldn't be able to park my car in my garage until I could unpack the boxes. The crew insisted on stacking the boxes in such a way that I could still park in the garage! I didn't ask them to do this extra work but they did it anyway, and they were suffering from such cold temperatures. That's how Better Way operates and that's why I will never use any other mover.

Great service for moving us from Bloomington back to Indianapolis. Arrived promptly at 8 am and had our condo packed within 85 minutes and delivered and unloaded in Indy within total of 4 hours. Movers were polite, friendly and most helpful. Price was great too. Thanks for making this portion of our move almost painless. Highly recommended!!

A Better Way has moved me at least a half dozen times. Randy has always been incredibly helpful and responsive in setting up my moves. The prices are reasonable, they really worked with me, and the crew was kind, efficient, and hardworking. All of my items were loaded and unloaded with incredible care. A local business that gives impeccable service. Thank you.

New Penn Transportation used A Better Way to move our loads into Ohio. Our partnership lasted for several years never had a bad experience their drivers were always professional and on time.

They do their job really well. They correctly gave us quotes. Also, they refunded as much as the difference between calculated weight and the actual weight of our stuff. When they are loading stuff, they make almost no noise moving stuff from the room to the truck. (Funny thing was that when I was doing something in my bedroom and then came out to the living room, I found that all the furniture was mysteriously disappeared!![i mean they were loaded into the truck actually]). They did their job very quietly. Also, I guess they did their best bringing my stuff to the new address as quick as possible so that I received my stuff way earlier than expected (less than a week) considering such a long distance (about 1100 mi) and the moving option (coming together with other's container).I highly recommend this company. They are very honest and efficient workers.
