Frequently Asked Questions
Load and Unloading Services Reviews
Randy and Chris were wonderful to work with! We recently moved from out of state, and their team handled everything with our move (packing, loading, transport, and unloading). Their team was efficient, professional, and hard working. We could not be happier with how smoothly the process went and would recommend them to anyone.

A Better Way moved furniture, a very heavy treadmill, and odds and ends for us from our house to our daughter's house. The crew arrived promptly at the scheduled time, were very friendly and polite, quickly loaded the truck and unloaded things at my daughter's house. My favorite part - they were careful with the items and the walls. She has a tricky stairwell but they handled the turns with ease - no wall damage whatsoever.I'm so glad we chose A Better Way to move us and I highly recommend this company.

Super pleased with these folks. The crew showed up a couple minutes early and worked very quickly/efficiently to load up our entire house. All of our belongings were carefully placed in right spot in our new home. Will definitely use them again!

A Better Way made our move super easy. Very thankful Randy was able to squeeze us in the books on a busy summer. Chris, Randy and Nick were outstanding. They had our stuff loaded and unloaded in no time. Would definitely use again and highly recommend. Thanks again!

Hired A Better Way to help us load our uhaul for a cross country move. I had figured it would take about 2 hours and they were done in 30 minutes. I am blown away by the quality of service and the professionalism shown by this company!

We used this company to move from Bloomington to Jeffersonville. They showed up, were very nice and professional, and very efficient. They had our whole house loaded in 2.5 hours. I would definitely use them again.

We were so delighted to find Randy and Merle and Better Way moving! Our daughter was moving locally to a new apartment for her final year of law school - the move involved furniture and boxes (lots of boxes). I contacted Randy long distance and he put my mind at ease that his team was professional and we had nothing to worry about. On moving day, Terry and Mike showed up and loaded the contents of the entire apartment in 40 minutes. They unloaded it with equal efficiency. Did I mention stairs? There were lots of stairs! They finished the job in under the 3 hour time we had reserved and reduced the fee! These men were great. My husband was awed by their strength and professionalism. Thank you for making one of life's most stressful situations less stressful!

I highly recommend A Better Way Moving and Storage. From start to finish, they were very professional and responsive. They were the most reasonable estimate I received and they did a terrific job loading our very heavy, upright, antique piano.
Additionally, Randy went above and beyond to help me locate movers to unload our piano (in Southern IL). I was very impressed by Randy and his team. You will be in wonderful hands with this company!

I hired them to unload from my Uhaul and they did a fantastic job. Right on time, professional, friendly, quick workers, and took great care of everything. I had a new bed frame and they were even able to put that together for me - I probably would've spent hours putting it together myself, so they really saved me there! Definitely recommend!

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.

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!!
