​

  3. Materials. Packing supplies for fragile items like antiques, fine art, or pianos can add about $1,000 to your moving costs.

How Movers Calculate Costs When Crossing State Lines

Educate yourself and understand how out of state movers determine your total cost below:

​

  • Weight/Volume. The size and weight of your shipment play a huge role in the total cost of your move because the more you have, the larger the truck and the bigger the crew.

  • Distance. Long out of state moves exceeding 400 miles are more expensive because movers have to factor in the cost of fuel, tolls, and travel time.

  • Availability. Moving companies with a full schedule or limited availability typically charge more for their services. If you're moving out of state on a budget, consider booking your move a month in advance or choosing a mover with less demand.

Before Hiring Movers: Tips.

Before choosing the best state to state moving company for your relocation needs and budget, consider the following:

 

1. Estimates.

-When negotiating the cost of your long distance move, remember that out of state movers are estimating the price. If your estimated relocation costs are underbid, you will likely face higher charges on the day of your move.

 

2. Delivery Window.

-When shipping your household goods long distances, out of state moving companies generally can't guarantee a delivery date. This is because of the unpredictable nature of moving your belongings far away. However, some companies may offer guaranteed delivery date services at a premium rate.

​

3. Length In Business.

-Beware of fly-by-night moving companies that rent trucks and have barely been in business for a year. Movers who are new and the business have a limited track record and are more likely to scam you with hidden fees.

 

4. BBB Ratings.

-Are your out of state movers on the Better Business Bureau? If they are, this is a good sign. It shows they are an ethical business. Just be sure to check their ratings before hiring them.

​

5. Professional Moving Companies.

-Looking for the cheapest way to move long distance and want to hire state to state movers? You may be hiring an inexperienced company—state to state movers with a proven track record of reliability charge more for their services.

​

6. Small Moves.

-Little and mini moves going to another state can benefit from our small long distance moving services. With our small load moves, you can move a few pieces of furniture out of state for an average cost of $2,700.

​

7. ​Ratings & Reviews

-Even the best-rated state to state moving companies have bad reviews, especially if they have been in business for at least 5 years. When comparing reviews and ratings, judge how the mover responds to the complaints rather than the low ratings.
