Tips for Your Long-Distance Move From Manitowoc
- 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.
- 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.
- Set up utilities before you arrive. Contact your new utility providers ahead of time so power, water, and internet are ready when you walk in the door.
- Keep winter dates flexible. Lows in Manitowoc average 13°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.
- Clear a path before the truck arrives if you’re moving in the winter. With about 42" of snow a year in Manitowoc, a salted walkway and a shoveled driveway save time on loading day and keep the crew on their feet.
- Check parking rules before moving day. Manitowoc 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?
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 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?
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, packing materials are available with our packing service. If you're doing your own packing, you can also buy materials through American Van Lines and have them shipped directly to you.
