1 | Create Your Listing

With proper preparation, planning and communication your move can be made to be painless. Whether your move is across town or across the world you will still need to contact a relocation company as soon as possible with the specifics of your move. Relocation companies can help you by estimating your truck or container size with even a brief description of the number of boxes and large appliances you will need to take. Be prepared with your dates for your move, a detailed inventory of the items you’ll need moved, and note any services you may need for special care items.

2 | Choose the Best Relocation Shipping Services

After your listing is complete, you will start receiving quotes from relocation shipping services, as they compete for your business. Reply to their quotes with questions to find out more about their services and experience.

When looking for relocation services it is important to have your move in mind. Be aware that specialty items, like pianos or pool tables need to be moved, packed, or stored by experienced movers. Make sure to check with your company about transporting specialty items before moving. Additionally, relocation movers that go across state lines should have an an ICC MC number.

Every service provider on uShip has their own carrier profile for you to review. There, you will find their transportation history, safety records, and customer rated feedback. uShip’s relocation company feedback section allows you to view the service provider’s customer reviews so you can see what their reputation is among our customers, rather than just the information on their website. Customers independently rate their relocation services so you can find someone you know will be able to do the job well, especially if your relocation requires some special care.

3 | Relocation Shipping & Delivery

When you have selected your relocation shipping service, contact them directly with any additional information, concerns, or questions you may have. Direct communication is the key to a successful shipment. Coordinate with your service provider on pickup and delivery schedules and share any third party contact information that may help smooth the shipping process. If you have any trouble contacting your relocation service, let us know, as we are happy to help before, during, and after your move is complete.

TYPES OF RELOCATION SERVICES



There are two main types of relocation services that are offered; full-service and self-service relocation movers. Depending on the type of needs your home or business is looking for, both are great choices.

FULL-SERVICE RELOCATION SERVICES

Full-service, or white glove moving companies, provide all the essentials you will need in regards to relocating. This includes supplying shipping supplies, disassembly, packing, shipping, and reassembling of all furniture. They will also wrap and secure any fragile items, providing a “boutique service” during your entire relocation.

SELF-SERVICE RELOCATION SERVICES

A self-service moving company provides limited services compared to a full-service relocation company. Disassembly, packing, unpacking, and assembly is all the responsibility of the homeowner or business. The self-service relocation services will only provide the transportation of items.

HOW LONG DOES RELOCATION SERVICES TAKE?



On average, a full-service relocation service provider will take approximately 2-3 hours to completely pack a three-bedroom home. Once packed, the time frame from delivery to arrival will depend on how far the destination is. Delivery usually occurs within 1-2 weeks. However, a self-service move can take up to several weeks to accomplish, as the packing and loading is not done by the relocation company.

How Much Do Relocation Services Cost?



The cost for relocation services depends on how big the move is, the distance from pick up to delivery, the number of movers needed, and any special services you may need to support safe shipping. When it comes to full-service relocation movers , costs generally range from $25-$50 an hour per mover that is requested.
