You got a job on the other side of the country, are moving to your dream destination, or are simply looking for a significant change in your next chapter of life; whatever the reason, moving a long distance is a big step for anyone. As expert long distance movers, we have seen it all. That is why we want to arm you with real customer experiences so you can benefit from insights into what customers should expect, how to choose a reliable moving company, and tips for a successful long-distance move.
What Customers Can Expect from Long-Distance Movers:
Performing a long-distance move takes more planning than simply switching homes down the street. Here is a basic idea of what it looks like:
Step 1: Booking Your Move
After determining where you are going and when you need to arrive, it is time to book your move. This will give you a concrete moving date and a specific preparation timeline.
Step 2: Planning the Logistics
Once you have your move booked, it is time to set those nitty-gritty logistics. Working with your moving company, you can determine the best timeline, truck size, and storage options for your move.
Step 3: Packing Your Home
Then, it’s time to start packing. If you are packing your home solo, there are various methods you can employ to achieve a successful move. Read more about it HERE. Alternatively, suppose you have hired your movers to pack for you. In that case, you can rest assured that they will handle all the details, from carefully packing fragile items to safely transporting household goods across state lines.
Step 4: Knowing Your Team
Long distance movers have a team of experts helping them achieve their goals. At Larsen Transfer, three movers are involved in the process: the loader, the transporter, and the unloader. By knowing how each of these movers will participate in your move, you can feel comfortable and assured that your move is going smoothly.
Real Customer Experiences:
Long distance movers face a tremendous amount of stress, from saying goodbye to loved ones to finding a new home, and so much more. The last thing they want to have to worry about is their moving company. Over the years, we at Larsen Transfer, have helped countless long distance movers reach a successful move. From these lessons, we have learned what truly counts in real customer experiences.
1. A Smooth Easy Transaction
Moving is complicated, but that doesn’t mean your moving company needs to be. We have found that our customers appreciate our streamlined and efficient moving process. Here is what Steve had to say:
“It was a very smooth transaction. I emailed to get an appointment for a walk-through, which was arranged quickly. The movers came over right on time, were very professional and did a great job. The process itself was easy, not complicated. The paperwork was minimal and easy to understand. Terms were all upfront. I have moved many, many times in my life, around the world and I have to say this was a very good experience. I highly recommend Larsen.”
2. Trust in Care
When moving, you are packing up your most dearest belongings. These are the items you’ve selected to continue your journey through life, so they are obviously precious to you. At Larsen Transfer, we take great care in the safety and care of your belongings. Just see what Ms. Djang had to say:
“The workers were very understanding of our family’s needs. They were cautious with heirlooms. They packed antiques with tremendous care. They asked questions about how special items needed to be packed. They marked each box with the name of the room where the items came from. They cleaned items that were dusty before wrapping and boxing them. They moved boxes to storage. They were careful about arranging boxes so that we could see the room names. They made sure we knew how to get in and out of the storage unit area. There is absolutely no doubt that we will be calling Larsen again for help, because we know the time will come.”
3. Quick and Convenient Service
Long distance movers have a lot on their plate, and the last thing they want to do is coordinate every nitty-gritty detail. At Larsen Transfer, we making moving convenient and easy. See what Samuel said:
“Larsen Transfer Company was the best decision we made to make moving super painless! We used Storage Hero – very convenient, you just let them know when and where to drop it of whether you need it for a day or 3 days and then you let them know when you want it picked up & BOOM all done. We also hired the moving team for a total of two days & they were professional and very helpful! We’re definitely going to recommend to all out friends & family!”
Choosing the Right Long-Distance Mover:
When determining the right long distance movers for your family, there are key factors customers should be considering, including reputation, experience, and licensing.
Not only should your moving company have excellent reviews and extensive experience, but it should also be fully licensed, bonded, and insured. In addition, it should clearly state its services and policies. For example, at Larsen Transfer, we are credited as an Agent of United and have clear claim policies right on our website.
While we have a whole blog on how to find the best movers in your area, the number one tip we always suggest is to perform adequate research before committing. Read 3rd-party reviews, ask for quotes, verify licensing and insurance, and test their customer service. It’s always better to do a little extra legwork upfront than be disappointed by a poor moving provider.
