What customers actually paid this year

For a 2-bedroom interstate move, Piece of Cake Moving & Storage quotes generally land between $700 and $2,700, with the median around $1,700. The low end of that range usually applies to off-season runs under 1,000 miles with self-packing; the high end shows up on full-service summer moves over 2,000 miles.

Local hourly pricing through Piece of Cake Moving & Storage varies by market. In a high-cost metro, two movers + a 26-foot truck commonly bills at $160–$220/hr. In a smaller market the same crew might run $110–$150/hr. Always ask whether travel time, fuel surcharge, and stair fees are inside or outside the hourly number — this is where two "identical" quotes often diverge by 20%.

Where this carrier is genuinely good

Manhattan high-rise moves with COI. The customer pattern that consistently rates Piece of Cake Moving & Storage highly: an inventory list locked in 2+ weeks ahead, a binding-not-to-exceed quote in writing, and a destination ZIP they service directly (not via subcontractor). When all three of those line up, satisfaction scores cluster well above the industry median.

Booking process, step by step

  • Request a quote with a complete inventory list. Online forms are fine for a first pass; a video survey is what makes a binding number stick.
  • Insist on binding-not-to-exceed in writing. Non-binding estimates from any carrier — including this one — almost always come in higher on move day.
  • Confirm valuation coverage. Released value (the federal default) pays $0.60 per pound. Full-value protection costs more but actually replaces a damaged TV.
  • Confirm pickup and delivery windows. For interstate jobs the delivery window is a range, not a date — plan accordingly.
  • On move day, walk the truck and check the inventory list before signing the Bill of Lading. Note any pre-existing damage on the form.

Bottom line

Piece of Cake Moving & Storage earns 4.6/5 in this scoring model. For the customer profile in "where it's good," it's a strong default pick. For everyone else, get one comparison quote and decide on the spot — the 15 minutes pays for itself.
