AMV was able to move us coast-to-coast in a challenging, post-pandemic time when other companies couldn't even provide quotes. Everything - furniture (including a piano), boxes of all weights and sizes and other items arrived safely and promptly (actually, early). Veteran driver/foreman David Thornton was communicative and trustworthy. Unbelievably, we were charged $1000 LESS than what we were expecting! We would have been in a bad situation if not for AVL.

I am a single woman, living by myself in the hills, on a road/driveway that is fairly difficult to negotiate. I was preparing to move to CA. I chose American Van Lines because it had been given high ratings by Consumers Report. I contacted American Van. They asked how much 'stuff' I would be moving, date and time. I filled out the checklist and gave them the info. The men came right on time, had no trouble in their large van, negotiating the hill & driveway. They brought the boxes to help me pack. As it turned out, I didn't need all the boxes. Surprisingly American Van did not charge me for the boxes I ordered, but didn't use. Their work staff was efficient and listened to my questions. I was completely satisfied with their work. They moved my 'stuff' to a storage place I had rented, sight unseen, in CA. The Main Office was easy to contact when I needed info, or help. My contact, Gloria, was always available. Awesome! I was totally satisfied with your services. I would use American Van Lines again in any future move and would certainly recommend them to others.

I recently had the pleasure of working with American Van Lines and would highly recommend them for packing and moving services! I have moved many times and typically pack my things myself but this time I hired them to do this as well-which I was very concerned about! I had asked one of the packers, Jack to let me know when he got to my china cabinet as I wanted to see how he was going to do this, he said no problem. I explained to him that the items in that cabinet, while not high value in dollars, were from my Grandpa who has passed away and the sentimental value was irreplaceable. At that point he told me not to worry he was going to pack and treat my belongings as he would his own. When observed him throughout the day I can say that is exactly what happened. They were very professional, efficient and paid close attention to ensuring everything was very secure. I was completely impressed and pleased with their services. The price was competitive and the final cost was exactly what was estimated. Thank you American Van Lines!

Why AVL Instead of DIY?

DIY Isn't Always Cheaper

Between truck rentals, fuel, packing materials, and the physical toll of a long-distance move, the DIY route often costs more than it looks like on paper.

Full Service, Fair Price

American Van Lines packages professional packing, transport, and delivery into one flat rate. You get a complete moving experience without the guesswork.

Protection for Your Belongings

Professional movers bring the right packing materials, dollies, and padding to protect your items in transit. A rental truck and some cardboard boxes don't offer the same level of care.

Tips for Your Long-Distance Move From Aberdeen

  • Research your destination early. Before moving day, look into neighborhoods, schools, and local services where you're headed. Knowing where the nearest grocery store or urgent care is makes settling in faster.
  • Keep an inventory as you pack. A simple checklist of what's in each box helps you track everything and makes unpacking more organized.
  • Confirm arrival-day logistics. Verify utility setup, parking rules, and any elevator reservations at your destination so move-in goes smoothly.
  • Keep important documents with you. Store your lease, moving paperwork, IDs, and anything you'll need on arrival in a labeled folder you carry yourself.
  • Watch the weather window. Aberdeen averages 14" of snow a year. Clear walkways and driveways before the crew arrives, and confirm your delivery window if a storm is forecast.
  • Prepare for a rainy move. Aberdeen sees around 47 inches of rain a year, so ask about floor runners and keep upholstered pieces and anything cardboard off wet ground.
  • Check parking rules before moving day. Aberdeen has specific parking and permit requirements for moving trucks. Sorting this out ahead of time keeps the crew from circling the block or getting ticketed while they load.
  • Redirect your mail before you leave. File your change of address with USPS so nothing piles up at your old place after you’ve gone.

FAQs

How long does a long-distance move usually take?

There's no single answer, since distance, home size, and scheduling all play a role. That said, most long-distance moves take between 3 and 14 days. American Van Lines will confirm your estimated delivery window before your move begins.

What's the best time of year to move?

The off-season, roughly late fall through early spring, tends to offer better availability and lower rates. Summer is the busiest time for movers, so if you're set on a summer move, booking at least 6 to 8 weeks ahead is key.

What is an inventory?

Your moving inventory is a room-by-room list of everything going on the truck. American Van Lines uses it to calculate your flat-rate estimate and confirm that every item is loaded and delivered as expected.

What payment methods do you accept, and when are payments due?

Payment options include major credit cards, debit cards, and certified checks. For long-distance moves, payment is usually collected at delivery. Your coordinator will clarify the exact timeline before your move begins.

Do you provide or sell packing materials?

Yes. When you add packing services, materials are included. If you're packing yourself and need supplies, we sell boxes, tape, and protective materials and can deliver them to your home before your move.
