How to Find the Right Long-Distance Movers

Remember, it’s not about choosing the best “long distance movers near me”, it’s about choosing the best ones for your situation.

1. Get referrals and plenty of estimates: Reach out to friends and family for their picks and collect three or more estimates to compare with each other.
2. Watch out for red flags like: If the mover you’ve chosen doesn’t agree to an onsite or offsite, virtual inspection and does it over the phone (non-virtually), move on.
3. Check with the BBB and research their online reputation: Research your company. If they’re a new business, help ‘em out by being their first customer! Otherwise, they should be accredited with the BBB and have a B+ rating or better. Additionally, check out how they handle both positive and negative feedback via their Google or Yelp reviews page.
4. Ask questions: Don’t be afraid to ask your chosen mover if they’re licensed and insured, which areas they serve or what kind of equipment they use to handle a move.

Tips on Preparing for a Successful Long-Distance Move

Before you’re ready to move, run through a few tasks to complete to make it easier on our movers and yourself come moving day:

1. Declutter: Get rid of any unnecessary junk. Sorting through those piles before moving day can be lengthy and exhausting but worth it. Donate or toss unwanted items a week or two before you decide to move.
2. Itemize, organize, and prioritize: Once the non-essentials are out of the way, prepare specific categories for your items that are either: (A) being moved on our truck, (B) being stored at our warehouse storage, or (C) staying with you during the move.
3. Out with the old and in with the new: Do a walkthrough of both your old space and new space. Take note of any pre-existing damages at your new home or office. Ensure nothing is damaged at your old place during the move and do a final cleaning check before you leave.
4. Update subscriptions, close accounts, and notify utilities: Anything that you have regularly mailed, change it. Go to a post office and fill out a change of address form and ensure each of your subscription services and utility offices are notified of your new address.
5. Pack an essential moving kit: Right before you’re about to move out, pack an essentials kit and bring it with you or ensure it’s packed last on the moving truck. Whatever you think you may need first thing at your new place, pack it in.
