  • Travel distance and route timing

What changes the cost of an Ohio move?

Most Ohio moves are priced around the time, crew size, truck needs, distance, access, and extra services involved. A small apartment move with easy parking is very different from a full house, office, storage-unit, or long-distance move.

Broad local moving ranges often start in the hundreds and can move into the low thousands depending on how many movers, hours, stairs, heavy items, and packing needs are involved. The best way to narrow the range is to share the addresses, inventory, access notes, and preferred date.

  • Home or office size
  • Number of movers and trucks
  • Stairs, elevators, long carries, and parking
  • Packing, boxes, furniture assembly, and specialty items
  • Travel distance and route timing

How to keep the estimate accurate

Clear details help prevent surprises. Include large items, tight driveways, elevator reservations, storage-unit access, extra stops, and any packing help you want. Photos can also help the team understand the scope before move day.

  • List heavy or fragile items
  • Share building rules early
  • Confirm whether packing is included
  • Ask how travel time is handled
  • Use the quote form for a move-specific range

This was our 2nd time using Manifest Shipping and they did not disappoint!!! Both times we have used them we have been amazed by their efficiency and professionalism. Not only did they move everything out of our rental home to our new home, they moved everything out of our storage unit to our new home. Trash & furniture we didn't want or need they loaded into the back of our truck so my husband could dispose of it. And god love their hearts, they moved our outdoor furniture (we have a ton) around a million times until I was finally happy with the placing 😬 And they were so sweet and patient with me!!! Their final price came in quite a bit lower than the estimate they originally gave us (wasn’t upset with that at all lol) They told us at the end that they always estimate on the higher side to be safe. This company has truly perfected their craft and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Manifest Shipping highly enough! From start to finish, their service was impeccable and exceeded all my expectations. I recently used their services to move my belongings from my parents' house to a storage unit, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. First and foremost, their customer service is exceptional. From the moment I reached out to inquire about their services, their team was incredibly responsive and helpful. They patiently answered all my questions and provided me with a clear breakdown of the moving process, leaving me feeling confident and reassured. The actual moving day was smooth and stress-free, thanks to their professional and efficient movers. They handled my belongings with the utmost care, ensuring everything arrived at the storage unit in perfect condition. I was particularly impressed by their attention to detail and the care they took in packing and loading fragile items. Moreover, Manifest Shipping's pricing was fair and transparent. There were no hidden fees or surprises, and they worked with me to find a solution that fit within my budget. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with Manifest Shipping and would not hesitate to use their services again in the future. If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and top-notch moving company, look no further than Manifest Shipping. They truly go above and beyond to ensure their customers' satisfaction.

We had a move with. Manifest Shipping this week. From start to finish, the company was professional and courteous. Their quote was comparable to other companies we approached, but included disassembly and reassembly of furniture, and they allowed for some last minute additions. On moving day, the team kept us aware of a slight delay, and with a 5 member team, had very efficient loading. They completed the drive and unloading the next day as it was a 4 hour drive. The team of 2 unloaded, and went the extra mile to get all boxes to proper rooms, including the garage attic storage area. All staff were personable and attentive to details. It made our move so much easier. I would definitely recommend this team. They went the extra mile for us.

I was initially skeptical about finding a mover through uShip, but I was extremely happy with Manifest Moving and would absolutely recommend them. I was moving a 10x10 storage unit long-distance and originally planned to DIY to save money. I had gotten a few professional quotes, but they were high and most companies couldn’t accommodate my timeline on such short notice. I was specifically looking for a company that was licensed, insured, and would actually take good care of my belongings. From the initial bid on uship, Manifest stood out. Andrew was great to work with - courteous, polite, and willing to work with me on scheduling and price to make sure everything worked for both of us. He was also able to schedule my move for the following week. Every single person I dealt with was pleasant and professional, and communication was excellent from start to finish. On move day, the crew showed up right on schedule and had my entire storage unit loaded into the truck in about an hour. They were attentive to my instructions, wrapped everything securely, and were friendly and professional throughout. Drew and Seth handled the unload like champs - they handled everything carefully (navigating two tight flights of stairs), assembled furniture, and didn't rush anything - even though I knew they were trying to get back on the road ahead of the snow. The price was more than DIY, but lower than other full-service quotes I received and absolutely worth it for a full-service long-distance move with this level of care and communication. These guys deserve every single star. I would 100% use them again and wish they were local to my new area.

The Manifest Team arrived on time and the team lead did a thorough walk through to confirm all items to be moved and packed up. They were very professional and efficient, taking care with all items wrapping all appropriate items. The team did an excellent job of packing the storage unit by maximizing space utilization which allowed us to eliminate one of our units. We are very pleased with our experience and would highly recommend their services.

I used Andrew and manifest shipping to move from Columbus to Atlanta. My stuff required storage for about two months from the time I moved out of my old house and into the new one. Andrew was incredibly helpful and professional for my entire experience. He first came to my house to get an idea for what would be needed to move me out. He gave me a quote at this time. On move out day, Andrew and 3 other guys came over. There were originally supposed to be 6 guys and since there were fewer Andrew reflected this in my actual move out cost (was cheaper than the quote). The integrity of his company is excellent! My beds were incredibly challenging to remove given their location in a loft and Andrew and his team were able to get them out without any damage to the beds or the property. Overall the move out probably took 3-4 hours. One other thing to know is that I have an evil cat and Andrew and his team did their work very bravely despite the continuous threat of violence to their persons. I lived with a friend for 2 months before moving to Atlanta. The day before I was set to drive out, Andrew personally met me at this house and picked up some extra boxes that weren’t going to fit in my car. This was going above and beyond for sure!! Andrew then drove down to Atlanta with one other guy and they got me completely unloaded in about 5 hours. They put together my beds for me and helped me move some rugs around. (Since I live alone this was very helpful because I wasn’t going to be able to do this by myself). Finally - the communication with Andrew was excellent. He let me know early if he was running late (move out day was supposed to start at 9:30 and ended up starting about 10:15) and checked in with me leading up till moving. Overall I would definitely go with Andrew and manifest again. The cost was fair, the work was efficient, and he and his other movers were very enjoyable to work with.

So many positive things to say about Manifest Shipping. We used them for a local move to a new home. During scheduling, an owner provided details about what to expect. He offered flexibility with our moving dates and times. On moving day Manifest Shipping arrived at the expected time with a large team. All were professionally dressed in their Manifest Shipping attire. They worked well together as a team. It was evident they had a system and flow that maximized efficiency, which was especially important to me because we were paying for their services by the hour. Manifest Shipping crew provided care and protection of our furniture during packing beyond what I had experienced with previous moves – using blankets and plastic stretch wrap for most non-boxed items. There were several times when team members asked questions about what my preferences were as they placed furniture and boxes in their final space in our new home. Before departing our new home, the lead again asked whether anything needed relocated. Our move required placing a portion of the items from the home we were selling into a storage unit for a few weeks. They not only packed their trucks efficiently - like a giant Jenga game - but also the storage unit. During moves to and from the storage unit and to our new home, nothing was damaged in any way, and nothing went missing. There were also several large items that needed to be taken to a donation center. The team willingly added the extra stop on to the route - even though it was the end of a long day for them. Overall, the team’s performance was an A+. The crews for both phases of the move were polite, friendly, and respectful. They helped me navigate what was otherwise a personally stressful and emotional time. We highly recommend Manifest Shipping without reservation.

We used Manifest Shipping to move about 1 hr away from Dayton in Jan 2024. Their quote was in the middle of all the quotes we got, and honestly I just picked them because I was tired of looking. To our surprise, they showed up on time and got right to work. The guys were awesome, moved fast, and very polite. The team leader was good about letting me know how they were doing on time so the cost would be close to the estimate. We’ve unboxed a lot of what they moved and have not found anything broken, which is surprising with how much fragile stuff they moved. They were even nice enough to move the old washer and dryer out of the basement for us. The cost was a little over the estimate, but in the ballpark and probably due to the amount of stuff we have. I will never move again, but if I did, I would be calling these guys. Can’t recommend them enough.

I heard about Manifest Shipping through word of mouth. I was moving from IL to OH to be closer to my daughter and her family. From the first call to get a quote, I felt very much at ease with this company. Andrew was very kind and helpful in getting me a quote and arranging for storage. The drivers were very kind and helpful. They carefully loaded up all of my items and were finished in just a couple hours. The same with my move in date. The cost was very competitive, much lower than other companies. I highly recommend Manifest Shipping for all your moving needs.

Manifest did a great job. They took immense care in packing up all the items, and did a great job at storage unit tetris when we realized the one I rented was too small for everything. They were able to fit all the large furniture and most boxes in, and were so kind throughout the entire experience. I did not look into pricing with other companies, because they came so highly recommended. I do not know if the price is comparable to other moving companies in the area, but I do know that the value of service I received was worth the amount I paid.

They just finished our move to our new house and did a great job. The positives: The crew was hard working, respectful, and kind. They handled our stuff well and nothing was broken. Andrew was easy to communicate with and updated us throughout the day on the process. We were not on a serious time crunch so we were flexible with the changes that needed to happen. The messy: Our move ended up taking two separate days due to it getting dark and potential weather delays. They didn't come out to do a quote in person so our estimate was lower than what was actually charged because we did have a lot of items to move. The Important: The movers worked hard and made sure everything made it to our house safely. They even moved my vespa scooter which I thought I might have to ride in the 30 degree cold. I brought up my cost concerns with Andrew and he did a great job listening. We both were able to hear where the other person was coming from. We came to an agreement that worked for both of us. I am very happy that our move is over, everything got here in the shape it started in, and the team was easy to work/communicate with. Thank you for all of your hard work (Ova, Jake, Andrew, Elijah... and the three guys that were here today that were not on Tuesday I didn't get the name of) We appreciate you.

I recently spoke with Andrew and Eric from here about a storage unit they rented. I was happily able to take care of what they needed, and from my side of the business, I will be referring people to Manifest Shipping in the future! Great customer service!!

I had a truly outstanding experience with Manifest Shipping! I recently hired Manifest Shipping for my move from one state to another, and I couldn't be more impressed. From start to finish, they were fast, friendly, and the whole thing was affordable. The team went above and beyond, ensuring that everything arrived safely and on time. What really stood out was their excellent communication. I was kept updated throughout the entire process, which really put my mind at ease during a typically stressful time. I tend to ask a lot of questions, and they always made it feel like I was a priority. It was clear that they cared about making the move as smooth and easy as possible. I highly recommend Manifest Shipping to anyone looking for reliable, professional movers. They truly made my long-distance move a breeze.

I hired Manifest Shipping to take care of an out of state move after my previous movers fell through. I was very stressed out at the time, but Manifest was able to arrange to take my things on the dates I needed them moved for a reasonable price, saving me thousands that I would’ve had to spend if I was forced to reschedule. The move out went smoothly and all of my items arrived at the destination on time and in good condition. Unlike a lot of smaller moving companies out there, Manifest Shipping is reliable and honest. They do what they say they will do and they send the proper documentation (never work with any moving company that doesn’t send the legally required paperwork!!). They are also really good at communicating - Drew and Dylan were available through texting and email whenever I wanted to talk to them and kept me updated the whole time. This was huge because I had a lot of special instructions so it definitely helped make the move successful. So in short I will say Manifest Shipping is professional and efficient and I would highly recommend them for your move.

This IS the moving company you're looking for. They are kind and professional. For our move, the final cost came in below the estimate (we packed a bunch of stuff ourselves and sold a few pieces of furniture before they arrived). The guys are smart, hard-working, on-time, caring, no standing around kinda guys. Eric and Andrew (owners) are fair and honest. I've always hated my moving company after the move. I love these guys. Do yourself a favor. Hire Manifest Shipping!

We had a very quick move from Ohio to Texas. This was our first time moving across the country and after reading many, many reviews on companies I was nervous! However, Andrew, Eric and their team were phenomenal from the start. From coming out the day I called to get a quote (knowing we were in a time crunch) to having a stellar crew both on move out and move in (2 weeks later in Texas). The guys were all very efficient and took great care in protecting our items. They were all kind and courteous and Andrew did a great job with communication. I would highly recommend them to anyone moving local or cross-country!

We used manifest shipping as our moving company for our recent move. As a couple who has always moved ourselves and paid our friends and family with pizza, this felt like the ultimate luxury. I walked away feeling like it was money well spent and would hire them again or refer to a friend. From the beginning I was truly impressed, these are not your average movers. They are a level above other service providers. They were clear and concise in their fair pricing. It was easy to get a quote. Took less than a day. The staff was friendly. Then when the day arrived the movers arrived on time actually a few minutes early, dressed professionally and were a really clean cut nice group of guys. You never know what your going to get with movers, these guys were great. Made me feel comfortable and got right to work. They got everything I wanted to get moved within the time frame allotted. Truly an easy experience from start to finish. Walked away feeling glad I choose this team to help with our move. Highly recommend

The best moving experience. Ova and Christian arrived at the scheduled time. They were professional in appearance, communication, and handled the furniture with care. When I called to schedule, Andrew was most helpful. The quote was exactly the way it happened. If the need for movers arises again, I will call Manifest.

These men moved both myself and my oldest daughter out of our home on two separate days to two separate apartments. They were so efficient and very skilled at making sure things fit properly paying attention to ensure biting would get damaged during the move. They worked fast but ensured everything was well wrapped and protected. The cost of the moves were more affordable than any other movers I've used in the past and the quality was 10 times that of any other company. I can't say enough about this company and the men they've hired to represent them. I would highly recommend this company for all of your moving needs whether they be local or long distance. If i could give them 10 stars i would!!!! Thanks Trace and both crews!!! You all were absolutely amazing!!!!
