How to Save on Your Interstate Move
Get at least 3 binding quotes
Prices vary widely between carriers. Getting 3 written binding estimates protects you from price increases.
Ship during off-peak season
October through April sees 20–35% lower rates vs. summer. Mid-month and mid-week also see better pricing.
Sell or donate before moving
Long-distance movers charge by weight. Eliminating 500 lbs can save $200–$600 on cross-country moves.
Ask about binding vs. non-binding estimates
A binding estimate guarantees your price. Non-binding estimates can increase by up to 10% on delivery day.
