How to Find the Best Long Distance Movers?

Are you looking to move to another state, another region, or across the country? Chances are you’ve moved locally before, and you’re thinking that moving long-distance can’t be too different. Unfortunately, this assumption is incorrect.

To move an entire household thousands of miles, you should consider hiring a long-distance mover. We’re going to tell you exactly what to look for when you’re hiring your moving team and give you a few tips to locating the best long distance movers near your area. Keep reading for more information!

Online Research

One of the first things you will want to do when choosing to relocate is to search for “long-distance movers near me.” This will bring up a number of results in your area and can start your research process.

While researching, take time to read several of the company’s reviews, and find out if they’re accredited by the Better Business Bureau. Also find out what types of services they offer compared to the services you’ll need.

In-Home Estimate

In addition to your online research, call to several long-distance moving companies to find out whether they offer in-home estimates. This is important! Many moving companies will ask you to fill out a form to list all of the items you wish to move, describe furniture, and estimate the number of boxes you’ll have.

These online forms may seem easy to complete, but you may also forget some important items. An in-home estimate will allow you to meet with a moving professional and receive a more realistic quote.

Compare Costs

Good isn’t cheap; cheap isn’t good. This saying is true in many industries and moving is one of them. When a moving company gives an estimate that is far lower than their competition, chances are they don’t have all the required certifications, won’t provide needed materials, or aren’t including a true reflection of the costs.

The worst part about this is that, in the end, you’ll be the one paying extra. So yes, compare the costs of several companies, but make an informed decision.

Don’t Forget to Schedule Early

Whether you’re moving for work or to get a fresh start on life, you’ll need to plan your move in advance. Start researching companies early and once you’ve chosen one, call to book sooner than later.

If you’re still not sure who to use or are tired of searching for the best long-distance movers, don’t worry, Sky Van Lines is fully accredited, certified, and has years of moving experience. Call or message us today for an in-home estimate.

Hiring a Moving Company? Follow These Steps To Be Prepared

You have made an excellent choice by selecting a moving company to help with your move. Moving can be a very tiresome process of having to pack up your belongings and relocate your home. But before the moving company arrives, you need to be prepared. Here are 4 steps you must take to prepare your home.

Sort Items

You definitely will have some items that you won’t be taking to your new location. It’s important that you carefully sort the items you want to dispose of. A few days before the movers arrive, separate and dump these items. Other items may be in good condition, so you can give them away or have a garage sale.

Prepare Large Appliances

Your washing machine, dryer, refrigerator, and dishwasher are in good condition so you are keeping them. Unplug them first and empty them. Your television will be connected to cable, cameras and other devices so detach and label all plugs to make the re-connection process a lot easier.

Remove Garden Plants And Chemicals

Dispose of hazardous chemicals before the moving day. If you know you won’t have the space for growing crops, you can give away any remaining fertilizers and plants. If you have plants you want to take with you, check with the moving company first so they bring the proper packaging for these items.

Keep Pathways Clear

Before the movers arrive, clean and clear the exits and pathways. Remove items that cause slipping and toppling. These steps make it easy for the movers to use the dollies and carts to move the heavy equipment. They will also prevent damage to equipment, personnel or floors. When you’re planning your next move, give us a call or message us. We’ll make the process easy for you.
