Tips for Your Long-Distance Move From Lacey
- Measure before moving day. Check doorways, stairwells, and tight corners at your new place. Measure large furniture to confirm it fits before the truck arrives.
- 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 for rain on loading day. Lacey averages about 49 inches of rain a year. Ask your crew to bring floor protection, and keep mattresses, upholstered furniture, and anything cardboard off the ground while the truck is loading.
- Sort out the truck’s parking spot early. Lacey 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?
Late spring and early fall are ideal for most moves, as weather is manageable and schedules are less congested. If you're moving in summer, book at least 6 to 8 weeks ahead to lock in your preferred dates.
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?
We accept major credit and debit cards as well as certified checks. Payment for long-distance moves is typically due at delivery. Your move coordinator will review the payment terms with you before your move date.
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.
