What is considered a cross country move?

A cross-country move refers to relocating from one part of the country to another, typically spanning a significant distance, often from coast to coast or between distant states.

How do I choose a cross country moving company?

Take your time to choose the right moving company for cross state moving. Select a company that cares about your belongings as more than just another haul.

  • Review credentials of moving companies with cross-country services for accountability.
  • Require a concise contrast rather than an estimate upfront.
  • Look for decades of experience, which translates into superior service to keep your belongings safe.
What is the best way to move cross country?

Hiring a professional cross-country moving company is the most cost-effective and reliable way to relocate long distances. With professional cross-country movers on your side, you can enjoy a hassle-free experience. Movers will help pack, transport, and unpack your belongings on your behalf, so you can focus on other tasks.

How far in advance should you schedule cross-country movers?

You should start planning your cross-country move at least two to three months in advance. This will give you enough time to compare pricing between the best cross-country moving companies. It also ensures you complete all moving tasks promptly.

What is the cheapest way to move cross country?

While you might assume DIYing a move is the cheapest way to relocate, this approach will come with many unexpected costs along the way. You'll need to budget for renting a moving truck, paying for gas, hotel stays, and more. When you work with a cross-country moving company, the price you quoted is the price you can expect to pay for all expenses, so it's easier to budget and plan accordingly.

What items cannot be moved by movers?

Avoid packing firearms, perishables, and hazardous materials into a moving truck. Important documents and irreplaceable items should also stay in your possession throughout the duration of your move.

How do I prepare for a cross country move?

Ready to hit the road? Here are a few handy steps that will make unpacking after your long-distance move feel effortless, rather than a months-long chore.

  • Pare down beforehand. While it can feel tempting to simply pack everything up and go through it when you arrive, doing so will unnecessarily increase your moving costs. Set aside time prior to your move to donate furniture, give away unwanted belongings, and dispose of items you no longer need.
  • Document and label. Take snapshots of the inside of each box before taping it up, number your boxes, and keep a list somewhere online - your email inbox, for example. That way, if you have trouble tracking down a spatula, or the power cord to your computer, it's as simple as running through your list and finding the right numbered box.
  • Switch it off, switch it over. When you arrive at your new home, make sure you open the door ready to start and enjoy your new life. Call your utility companies to make the switch prior to moving, forward your mail, and make sure your "automatic shipping address" is updated on websites like Amazon and food delivery apps to avoid boxes or pizza heading to the wrong home later on.
