Moving companies pack belongings, protect furniture, load the truck, transport items to the new home and unload them. Many also offer storage, specialty item moving and unpacking.
Book as soon as you know your moving date, especially for weekends, month-end and summer moves, which tend to fill up first. Ask for an in-home or video survey so the estimate reflects what you own, and compare whether each estimate is binding or non-binding and what services it includes.
Check reviews, ask about the company's valuation coverage for your belongings and get the estimate in writing. Interstate movers must be registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation, and some states regulate local movers.
Cost depends on distance, the amount of belongings, the number of movers and hours, packing services, stairs or elevators, specialty items, the time of year and storage needs.
Declutter before the move, label boxes by room, set aside valuables and documents to carry yourself, and confirm parking and elevator access at both homes. Share a list of fragile or oversized items.
