Long-Distance Moving FAQs

What’s a long-distance move exactly?
- The definition of a long-distance move includes the simple act of bringing one’s belongings across the state — even if they cross back into their state of origin. Be sure to check with your company before signing your contract to see whether state lines will need to be crossed.
How do I get an estimate?
- If you require an estimate before you choose a mover, visit our estimate form, or call us right now at (253) 581-2414.
How much does a long-distance move cost?
- Depending on the size of your home or office and the number of additional services you select, the cost of your move will vary.
How long can I expect my long-distance move to take?
- The length of time a long-distance move will take will depend on a variety of factors including, the distance of your move, the company you hire, and the time of year you decide to relocate.
What information should I receive from my mover before I move?
- When hiring a moving company, you should receive a copy of the order for service for your shipment. This important document is typically attached to your bill of lading and includes moving estimate details, pickup and delivery dates, and any special services needed.

How to Find the Right Long-Distance Movers

Remember, it’s not about choosing the best “long distance movers near me”, it’s about choosing the best ones for your situation.

Get referrals and plenty of estimates: Reach out to friends and family for their picks and collect three or more estimates to compare with each other.

Watch out for red flags like: If the mover you’ve chosen doesn’t agree to an onsite or offsite, virtual inspection and does it over the phone (non-virtually), move on.

Check with the BBB and research their online reputation: Research your company. If they’re a new business, help ‘em out by being their first customer! Otherwise, they should be accredited with the BBB and have a B+ rating or better. Additionally, check out how they handle both positive and negative feedback via their Google or Yelp reviews page.

Ask questions: Don’t be afraid to ask your chosen mover if they’re licensed and insured, which areas they serve or what kind of equipment they use to handle a move.

Tips on Preparing for a Successful Long-Distance Move

Before you’re ready to move, run through a few tasks to complete to make it easier on our movers and yourself come moving day:

Declutter: Get rid of any unnecessary junk. Sorting through those piles before moving day can be lengthy and exhausting but worth it. Donate or toss unwanted items a week or two before you decide to move.

Itemize, organize, and prioritize: Once the non-essentials are out of the way, prepare specific categories for your items that are either: (A) being moved on our truck, (B) being stored at our warehouse storage, or (C) staying with you during the move.

Out with the old and in with the new: Do a walkthrough of both your old space and new space. Take note of any pre-existing damages at your new home or office. Ensure nothing is damaged at your old place during the move and do a final cleaning check before you leave.

Update subscriptions, close accounts, and notify utilities: Anything that you have regularly mailed, change it. Go to a post office and fill out a change of address form and ensure each of your subscription services and utility offices are notified of your new address.

Pack an essential moving kit: Right before you’re about to move out, pack an essentials kit and bring it with you or ensure it’s packed last on the moving truck. Whatever you think you may need first thing at your new place, pack it in.

From the moment we contacted Doug Kentfield requesting an estimate, to his congenial visit with us, to the moment we met the moving team, Jason and Gata, in our driveway promptly on time, we were impressed with the company’s professionalism and care in... moving our furniture. The movers were excellent problem solvers and were patient and helpful, respectful and communicative throughout the day.Over seven hours later they were tired from their efforts but they and we were very pleased with the results. We wholeheartedly recommend Mountain Moving Company to you.read more

Mountain Moving was very responsive and helpful. We had to move a large, heavy gun safe out of our basement up challenging stairs. It was hard to find someone just to consider the job. Doug came over and figured out a way to do it with specialized... equipment and very strong workers they have.They were able to fit us into their busy schedule pretty quickly, so we could send the safe off to its next home. We really appreciated everything!read more

Doug was helpful in answering questions, following up on needed information, and... responding to our concerns quickly and professionally. His team was flawless and fast on our moving day, finishing up the work early and under budget,. They also coordinated the efforts for the discarded items to the dump, eliminating extra hassles and time for our staff. We have also worked with Shannon in the business office to take of billing, and those interactions have been helpful, courteous and professionally managed as well.

Great experience. Professional, did not cut corners. Had another local company cancel on me the day of my planned move and had already received a quote from Mountain Movers prior to the other company’s cancellation.

The workers moved a restored juke box filled with CD’s that couldn’t be jostled too much, or I would have spent hours re-organizing them. It was very heavy and awkward, yet two of them handled it no problem. It was moved between two residences smoothly.... Initially we were not sure if it would take three people to move it, so a third mover was there, but went unneeded. The good news was that they were honest and did not charge me for the third person. I would have paid, since he was on the premises, and they refused to charge me. THAT is why I will hire them again in the future should I need to. Honest, efficient, personable work...the way it should be.Joeread more

The gentleman I talked to on the phone to arrange a move didn't seem to have a good handle on what was going on. Had to call 4 times to check on my delivery because he wasn't sure where his crew was or when they had an opening. The moving crew was... phenomenal. They unloaded my entire 26' truck (due to an injury I had) in only an hour. No broken items and they were more than willing to be gentle with the more delicate items and even moved things into the rooms I asked for to ease the hassle of doing it myself. Great job guys I'm impressed.read more

Great experiences with Mtn Moving. I have used them twice - once when they were assigned to my military move from WA to HI, and a second time when I chose them for a move from one point in Tacoma to another.I can't comment on pricing for the first move... (paid for by military), but the second move's pricing was very fair. James (estimator) arrived as scheduled, provided a written estimate and tentatively scheduled a moving day. A 'what-to-expect on moving day' PDF was provided. He offered to provide boxes and packing materials, if needed.Movers (Todd, Tua, Fah) arrived on time on moving day. Walked thru, discussed basic plan and they got to work. Watched the guys move all items and they used standard equipment (carpeted dollies, pads, tie downs, etc). Everything was handled carefully and nothing was thrown or dropped. Load up time was less than estimated and very smooth. Unloading at the new house took even less time.All in all, an excellent experience. Simply put, the service provided was the service promised. I think prepping for moving day is 80-90% of what makes things go smoothly. We had everything boxed up, labeled, and staged by the doors of each room on moving day. Clothes taken out of closets and dressers and boxed up. Read thru the "what-to-expect" PDF and transported prohibited items ourselves before moving day (open chemical containers, alcohol, high value items). Everything you leave for the movers on moving day to deal with adds TIME. That, in turn, will increase your final cost, or torpedoes the whole move because of some showstopper.read more

My wife and I scheduled these guys to help us with our local move. We have used several local companies in the past and have never been happy with the result, hence why we kept trying someone new. These guys are my goto recommendation if you need... assistance moving. I called and reserved a team of 4 and two trucks about a week before our move. They let me know the price estimate and gave us the estimate time they would be there. They called to confirm the day prior and called the morning of to let us know they were on their way. The guys that showed up (Mark, Gabriel, Robert, Jesse) were polite and professional and knew what they were doing. We showed them what needed to go and they quickly got to work. They treated our stuff just like it was there own. They worked quickly and efficiently. Moving is always stressful, these guys made at least this part of it easy. Instead of shopping around for who may be the cheapest, save your self the hassle and call these guys to take care of your stuff.read more
