What to Expect From a Long-Distance Move

Long-distance moves have more moving parts than a local one. Knowing what to expect keeps the whole thing calm.

The quote

Expect an estimate based on weight or volume and distance. A good mover will walk your home (in person or by video) before quoting.

The hand-off problem

Many long-distance moves get brokered out — your stuff loaded by one crew and delivered by strangers. Choose a mover that keeps one dedicated crew start to finish.

Delivery windows

Ask how delivery timing works and who to call with questions en route.

Protect the valuables

Keep documents, jewelry and irreplaceable items with you. Everything else should be padded and inventoried.
