If you’re planning a move, it’s likely that you have questions—and Kings Moving & Storage has answers! Take a look at 10 of the most frequently asked questions our long-distance movers hear from customers.
Read below for answers and long-distance moving tips.
How Much Will It Cost?
The cost of a residential or commercial long-distance move depends on several factors, including the distance of the move, the amount of belongings, special services, such as vehicle shipping, and the time of year that you move. The only way to get an accurate idea of the cost is to have a professional mover assess your needs and provide a written estimate.
Can’t I Just Pack Myself?
Sure, you could, but it’s not a good idea—especially for a long-distance move. If you aren’t trained in how to pack for a long-distance move, leave it to the pros. Proper packing is one of the best ways to guard against damage, and reliable long-distance movers will have the training and experience to properly pack everything from furniture to fine art.
Is Custom Crating Necessary?
If you’re moving artwork or other fragile items, custom crating is the best way to protect those belongings from being damaged in transit. We recommend protecting your valuable items with this quality service.
How Far In Advance Should I Book My Movers?
The sooner the better, especially during the busy summer season. As soon as you know your moving date, reserve your date. This not only helps you secure your first choice of a long-distance moving company but it may also help you lock in special offers for early bookings.
What is the Best Time of Year to Move?
Summer is the most popular time for moving, but whether it’s the best depends on your goals. If you want to avoid the need for your child to change schools mid-year, then a summer move is perfect. If, however, a lower cost is more important to you, you may find a slower season is the best time to move cross-country.
How Should I Ship My Vehicles?
Yes! We’ve seen so many people try to organize ways to move their own vehicles, and most find it to be a hassle. Instead, leave it to a professional moving company to handle your vehicle shipping needs, including cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, and RVs.
What’s Important in a Storage Facility?
There are many factors to consider when choosing a storage facility. These include security, ease of access, size of the facility, available insurance coverage, and the facility's inventory system.
Does ProMover Status Matter?
Yes! ProMover status means that the moving and storage company meets and maintains requirements for the level of quality service and customer care they provide.
Should I Pay for Additional (Optional) Insurance?
You might think that the insurance that is automatically offered by your moving company is sufficient, but it’s often not. The basic coverage that’s required by law is based on weight, sand it doesn’t provide coverage based on value. That’s why many people opt to upgrade to full-value protection or take out third-party coverage for protection in the case of loss.
How Do I Choose a Moving Company?
There are many factors to consider when choosing a long-distance moving company. Experience, cost, reputation, and services offered are just a few of the factors you’ll want to keep in mind when choosing your movers.
