Tips for Your Long-Distance Move From Bensalem
- 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.
- Wrap fragile items with what you already own. Use towels, linens, and clothing to cushion breakables. It saves money on packing supplies and makes good use of items you're moving anyway.
- Photograph electronics before you disconnect them. Snap a quick photo of the back of your TV, computer setup, and other wired items before you unplug. It'll save you time at your new place.
- Transfer medical records in advance. If you're switching doctors or pharmacies, request records early so you're not scrambling to get care in a new city.
- Keep winter dates flexible. Lows in Bensalem average 23°F, and a cold snap can push a pickup or a delivery window. If you can avoid booking against a hard deadline in January or February, do.
- Prepare for a rainy move. Bensalem sees around 48 inches of rain a year, so ask about floor runners and keep upholstered pieces and anything cardboard off wet ground.
- Sort out the truck’s parking spot early. Bensalem has permit and parking requirements that apply to moving trucks. Handling that in advance beats improvising while a loaded truck sits idling.
- File your change of address. Update your address with USPS before you go so mail follows you without a gap.
FAQs
How long does a long-distance move usually take?
Long-distance moves typically take 3 to 14 days from pickup to delivery, depending on how far you're going and your scheduling needs. American Van Lines will give you a realistic delivery window upfront so you can plan accordingly.
What's the best time of year to move?
Spring and fall are generally the best seasons for moving, with milder weather and more scheduling flexibility. Summer is peak moving season, so if you want better rates and availability, a move in the off-season is worth considering.
What is an inventory?
An inventory lists every item being moved, typically organized by room. It's the foundation of your moving quote and how we make sure nothing is missed between pickup and delivery.
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?
Packing materials like boxes, tape, and bubble wrap come with our packing service. If you prefer to pack on your own, we sell materials and can deliver them straight to your door.
