The first stage of the moving process should start about 2 months before your move date, as this will allow enough time to plan and prepare. The guidelines below will help you with important planning details.

What items are moving?
On an interstate move, your moving cost is determined according to the quantity of items you are moving. If you can downsize your move, this is the time to start assessing which items are important to you. If possible, you should draw a floor plan of your new residence so you can visualize how your furniture will fit in the new space. Do not forget that there is usually a sizable difference between the average New York and California apartment.

If you have any left over items that you will not be relocating with your long distance movers, you can have a moving sale, donate items to charity, give things away, or dispose of the items that cannot be reused.

Get a moving quote
When you have made the decision on what will stay and what will be shipped, you are ready to get a written quote from a moving company. It’s important to provide your long distance movers with all the essential information regarding your move such as origin and destination information (including stairs/elevator accessibility, truck access and parking), pick up and delivery date, storage needs, car transportation, packing services and packing supplies, unpacking services and debris removal, and any other special needs.

Supplies for packing
Many moving companies will do the packing for you if you request that in advance, and will provide all packing materials that are needed to pack your belongings according to an inventory list. If you don’t mind the extra work and would like to lower your cost, you can choose to pack everything yourself, and if you need packing supplies, we can deliver materials right to your door.

To prevent any damages to your possessions, make sure you purchase boxes that are specially designed for moving and relocation, but keep in mind that oversized boxes are usually not strong enough to protect the packed items from damage.
