Are you moving to another state or cross-country?
The Handy Haulers Moving Company also specializes in long-distance or interstate moving and relocation services. So, it’s important to know the difference between this type of move and a local residential move. In addition to the obvious difference in distance that is involved with long-distance moving, there are a number of other significant differences as well. Two of the main differences are the costs involved and the amount of preparation required. For long distance moves, you need to pack your goods better to ensure there is no damage irrespective of the transportation method that is chosen.
Additionally, long-distance moves require more time. So you’re probably starting to get the idea here. The key difference between the two is that you’re going to want the Portland residential movers helping you with a long-distance relocation whereas that may not be necessary with a local move. So the 5 key differences where long-distance moving and relocation are concerned are:
- More preparation
- Different packing required
- More time-consuming
- More costs involved
- Hiring professional movers is a must
- How much do local and long-distance moves cost?
There are several factors that can influence your moving costs, whether you’re moving locally or long-distance. These include the distance of the move, the moving services required, the size and weight of the shipment, and the time of year. When taking these factors into consideration statistics show that based on a 2 to 3-bedroom home and a shipment weight of approximately 7,500 pounds:
- average cost of a local move = $1,250
- average cost of a long-distance move = $5,000
Keep in mind that these are national averages. For additional information about local and long-distance moving or to schedule an in-home estimate, the Portland residential movers at the Handy Haulers Moving Company are always prepared to help. Call today to learn more.
