Moving guides

The long-distance moving library.

Clear, practical advice on pricing, estimates, packing, timing and your rights as a customer, written by people who move homes for a living.

Pricing

Weight, distance, timing and services decide what you pay. Here is how each one works and where you can save.

Estimates

The type of estimate decides whether your price can change. Learn the difference and the federal 110% rule.

Planning

A week-by-week plan that covers movers, paperwork, packing and the final walk-through.

Choosing a mover

How to verify a mover is licensed, what a legitimate estimate looks like, and the warning signs of a rogue mover.

Protection

Valuation is not insurance, and the default option matters. Here is what each level actually pays.

Timing

Why interstate deliveries come with a date range, what affects it, and how to plan around it.

Timing

Summer is convenient and crowded. Here is how each season compares for price, availability and weather.

Packing

Hazardous materials, perishables and irreplaceable valuables do not belong on a moving truck. Plan for them early.

Packing

Long hauls are harder on boxes than a trip across town. These are the materials and methods crews rely on.

Storage

When your new home is not ready, your mover can hold your shipment. Here is how it works and what to ask.

Moving day

A walk through loading day, the inventory, the bill of lading and what to check before the truck leaves.

Protection

If something arrives damaged or missing, these are the federal deadlines and the steps that make a claim go smoothly.

Family

Practical ways to keep children and animals safe, calm and included during a long-distance move.

Planning

Every pound you do not move is money saved. A simple method for deciding what stays and what goes.
