"I moved to a new apartment with a large wardrobe and heavy furniture. The movers handled everything carefully, wrapping the smaller items in blankets and moving the larger items on dollies. They also took the time to ensure that my electronics and delicate lamps were packed securely. They were truly exceptional in moving things."

Moving questions, answered by experts

The simplest way to move a shipping container yourself is with a tilt-bed truck. However, you’ll still need to figure out how to get the container on and off the truck.

The lowest-cost days to move are Monday through Thursday. Many people move on weekends for convenience, so weekdays are often more affordable for hiring movers or renting a moving truck. Ask your local moving company if they offer any discounts for certain times of the year or days of the week.

Knowing how much a typical long-distance move will cost is the first step in the budgeting process. Start by calling at least three local moving companies for quotes so you have a ballpark range—then you can start saving weekly. You can also start decluttering your home to reduce your truck weight and try to find donated packing supplies from local businesses or neighbors that recently moved. 

There are generally three ways to ship furniture to another state: hiring professional movers, using consolidated freight, or through parcel shipping. Professional movers will generally pack your boxes in a truck and transport them to a storage facility or directly to your home. 

A consolidated freight service will pack, load, and ship your items, but this is best to use for one or two pieces since your items will take longer to be delivered and will share truck space with other items. Parcel shipping such as UPS and FedEx is best for smaller items since there are size limits, and you’ll have to drop the boxes off at a local branch.

It depends on your policy, but you may be covered for any damages to your personal property. How much you receive will depend on the circumstances under which property was damaged and if you can prove it was damaged during the incident on the road. Your insurance company may also only cover the cost to repair any items, and not outright replace them. Checking in with your insurance provider will help you get a clearer picture of your overall coverage.
