Long DIstance Moving
Over the past year we’ve interviewed over 100 customers that moved from San Francisco. Our main questions were why and where are you going? We’ve noticed a major influx of moves from San Francisco over the past two years, so we started getting curious. After speaking with our customers we’ve learned that people are getting fed up with the cost of living and housing market. Thousands of people are migrating to more affordable venues such as Arizona, Texas and Nevada. If you’re one of the thousands that are planning on moving from San Francisco we can hep. Here are some tips that can help you.
If you plan on self-packing make sure you can handle it. If the mover provides packing on the day of pick up you will be charged for it accordingly. Remember that these things cost money and the bill will be passed on to you. Most quality moving companies do offer a full pack option if needed. You should also know your moving date. Although changing a date normally isn’t an issue, the time of year can have a major effect on price. Peak season (May-August) rates are typically 25% more then off season rates. Moving from San Francisco should be a smooth process.
We suggest to stay away from lead generation websites. If a website claims “get up to 10 free price quotes” that means they’re selling leads. These websites don’t research moving companies and most have a liability clause on their website. Their main purpose is to sell leads so you may be getting a call from an unlicensed moving company who’s looking to rip you off. Google is a great tool to scout your own moving company and we recommend getting up to 3 quotes so you can compare. Before you make a final decision make sure that all moving companies are comparing apples to apples in their estimate. Moving from San Francisco should not be a stressful experience.

20 min to 24 hours on average.
