How Can I Move Cross-Country Cheaply?
One of the main concerns about hiring movers is the cost involved, especially when moving cross-country. As the cheapest cross-country movers, we know the best ways you can cut costs without compromising on service delivery. Here’s how.
1. Get Rid of Stuff
If you have decided to move to a new state, there is no better time to de-clutter and downsize. The less stuff you have to pack up and move, the less you will spend on supplies. Plus the time needed to pack, load and unload your belongings will be significantly reduced. This is great since many moving companies charge per hour. Get rid of some of your belongings by donating them or having a garage sale, for example.
2. Find Free Supplies
Since moving cross-country is usually such a mammoth undertaking, finding any freebies for your move will go a long way. You are literally putting your entire life in a truck and moving to a new place to start a new life. Chances are, you have accumulated a lot of items that need to be packed and wrapped. Hunt for free items such as boxes, newspapers, bubble-wrap and other packing essentials. Ask friends and neighbors; search your local recycling drop-off points, supermarkets, retailers, and even Craigslist. These free supplies will significantly reduce your moving cost, allowing you to spend on more essential needs.
3. Get Moving Quotes Early
It’s best to shop around for an affordable moving company as much in advance as you can. Getting a moving estimate is often free as well as obligation-free. You may even be able to take advantage of special discounts and promotions; and have time to review the different companies. Getting a head-start on quotes avoids the rush of having to choose any old moving company; and helps eliminate risks of scams, high prices and poor service.
4. Move During Off-Season
Cross-country moving companies are often extremely busy during the summer – this is their peak period. In order to cut costs, move during the off-season, if possible. Not only are you more likely to get better deals, but the team sent to help you will be less stressed and more able to give your move the attention it deserves. Choose a mid-week, mid-month date for your cross-country relocation to get even better prices.
5. Ask Questions
When examining your cross-country moving options, it is best to ask as many questions as possible in order help choose the most affordable and top-quality companies. It also helps eliminate surprises later down the road that could cost you a pretty penny. Some questions to ask include:
- Are all fees included in my quote? Make sure there are no hidden charges.
- Do you have insurance? It is vital that your belongings are insured in case something goes wrong. Clear up the claiming process and terms of coverage.
- Will my belongings be transported in one truck? This makes tracking a lot easier and ensures that your belongings arrive at the same time. It also reduces the cost of transportation
How Long Does a Cross-Country Move Take?
This can be a difficult question to give an exact date for the arrival of your belongings due to the fact that there are a number of factors to consider such as the distance being travelled, size of your shipment, stops along the way and unforeseen circumstances such as bad weather or flat tires. As one of the best rated cross-country moving companies we operate on strict schedules that help give the best timeframe for the completion of your move.
As an example, a move of a distance of 3,000 miles can take up to two weeks. Moving companies generally juggle more than one move at a time and as a result are unlikely to drive directly to your new home – they will make stops along the way; delivering and picking up other shipments as they go. More stops are made during peak season, which is why moving during off-peak seasons is also beneficial for you.
Another thing to consider is that interstate moving companies allow their drivers to drive no more than a certain number of hours at a time. This is a legal requirement. For these and more reasons, we usually give you a two-week window for delivery. This allows us to do our job correctly, ensuring that your belongings arrive at their destination on time and without any problems.
What is an Average Cross-country Moving Company’s Cost?
When determining the cost for a cross-country move, there are several factors to consider. Because of this, the average price can be anywhere from $1,500 to $15,000. Pricing usually depends on the distance being travelled and the weight of items being carried. So, the more items you have and the further your new home is, the higher the price.
At Eagle State to State, we see every move as an individual one and are more than happy to sit down with you to discuss moving options in order to come up with cost that is within your budget, while providing the service you need.
As a guide, this is what a 1,000 mile move could cost you:
- Studio Apartment: $750 - $1,500 based on an approximate weight of 2,000 pounds
- 1 Bedroom: Up to $2,500, weighing 2,500 to 3,500 pounds
- 4 Bedroom: Between $6,500 and $9,000 with a weight of up to 15,000 pounds
Factor in distance, and it’s easy to see how the cost can quickly go up to $15,000 and beyond. Getting an accurate quote when moving cross-country is vital so that you can get an exact figure and budget accordingly.
