Long-Distance Movers

Long-distance moving costs can vary widely depending on the size of the move, the distance traveled, the time of year, and other factors such as additional services requested. Generally, the cost for a long-distance move ranges from $2,000 to $7,000 or more. Various aspects including packing, handling of fragile items, and insurance can contribute to the total cost. It’s always advisable to request detailed quotes from reputable moving companies to understand the full extent of expenses for a specific move.

Cousins USA Moving & Storage provides competitive pricing for long-distance moving. We aim to provide transparent costs throughout the moving process, which is why we give an in-depth survey of all of your items and all services required for your move, which allows us to give you an accurate price that you can trust.

An out-of-state move usually includes the transportation of items, loading, and unloading. Additional services such as packing and unpacking, specialized handling of valuable or bulky items, and storage might cost extra. It is essential to discuss and clarify all services and their corresponding costs with your moving company before the move to avoid surprises.

With Cousins USA Moving & Storage, customers have access to a comprehensive list of services, including packing and unpacking, which is an add-on service. When moving across state lines, Cousins USA provides options tailored to individual needs. Our detailed estimates include any special handling required, such as gun-safe moving, antiques moving, or piano moving, and customers can choose the services that fit their budget and requirements.

Protecting belongings during a long-distance move requires careful packing and the right packing supplies. Quality moving companies use various types of packing materials like bubble wrap, packing paper, moving blankets, and sturdy boxes to ensure that items remain safe and undamaged during the move. Proper packing and labeling are essential to minimize the risk of damage and loss.

At Cousins USA Moving & Storage, customers can trust that their belongings will be protected throughout the move. We offer professional packing services with a team trained in handling fragile and valuable items. We use top-quality packing supplies to ensure maximum protection. Additionally, we offer warehouse storage with temperature control and 24/7 surveillance for those who require it, adding an extra layer of security for your possessions.

Most moving companies offer two types of valuation coverage for a long-distance move: Limited Liability Coverage, which provides minimal protection at no additional cost, and Full Value Protection, which covers the repair, replacement, or reimbursement for the item’s current market value. Government regulation requires a minimal coverage of 60 cents per pound per item, which is offered as Limited Liability Coverage, meaning all movers offer this. Most movers realize this is not enough and offer Full Value Protection as an additional cost.

Cousins USA Moving & Storage offers both Limited Liability Coverage and Full Value Protection for long-distance moves. We are committed to allowing you to be covered for all of your items being moved, including those that are high-value. These can be declared as Items of Extraordinary Value with your dedicated moving specialist.

The duration of an out-of-state move is determined by several factors, including the distance, size of the load, and logistical considerations. A good rule of thumb is that it takes a day for loading, a day for unloading, and a day for every 500 miles traveled. However, these timelines can vary depending on specific circumstances, and the moving company will usually provide a delivery window.

We will work very closely with you to determine realistic timelines for out-of-state moves. Our experienced team evaluates all factors, including load size and travel distance, to provide accurate delivery dates. As an interstate agent of Wheaton World Wide Moving, we have access to hundreds of agents coast-to-coast to give you a streamlined experience.

Moving fragile items requires specialized handling and expertise.

This expertise minimizes the risk of damage and ensures the safe delivery of valuable possessions.

Our team is well-trained in handling fragile and heavy items. Whether it’s antiques moving, piano moving, or any other valuable objects, we have the necessary experience, equipment, and skills to ensure these items are treated with the utmost care.
