Why AVL Instead of DIY?
Packing and Storage Made Easy

One Quote, No Changes
AVL's flat-rate pricing means the number you get upfront is the number you pay. It's straightforward, honest pricing that lets you budget with confidence.
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 Lancaster
- Book early. Secure your mover at least 4 to 6 weeks out, especially if you're moving in summer or at the start or end of the month.
- Declutter before you pack. Every item you get rid of is one item fewer to pack, move, and unpack. Go through each room before you start boxing anything up.
- Confirm arrival-day logistics. Verify utility setup, parking rules, and any elevator reservations at your destination so move-in goes smoothly.
- Build in extra time. Add a buffer to your schedule for delays, traffic, or weather. Long-distance moves have more variables than local ones, and flexibility reduces stress.
- Plan around the heat. Lancaster summers average 95°F. Schedule loading for early morning, keep water on hand for the crew, and move heat-sensitive items last so they spend the least time on the truck.
- Check parking rules before moving day. Lancaster 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.
- 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?
Most long-distance moves take anywhere from a few days to 2 weeks from pickup to delivery. Distance, truck scheduling, and any add-on services affect the timeline. We'll set clear expectations at booking and keep you updated throughout.
What's the best time of year to move?
Generally, moving between September and May gives you more flexibility on dates and sometimes better pricing. If you have to move in summer, booking early is key since it's the busiest season for long-distance movers.
What is an inventory?
An inventory is a detailed list of everything you're moving. We'll help you create one to determine pricing and make sure all your items are accounted for and transported safely. It's a key step in ensuring nothing gets lost and your belongings arrive in perfect condition.
What payment methods do you accept, and when are payments due?
American Van Lines accepts major credit cards, debit cards, and certified checks. For long-distance moves, payment is generally collected at delivery. Your move coordinator will confirm the exact terms when you book.
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.
