Q.can you tell me how long it would take to get my stuff from central indiana to florida using your service? from J G. in IN

A. Hi J, 

The drivers can travel about 500 miles a day. Depending on the size of your shipment, we can have it there in as little as 3 days, but it may take as many as 6 (if we have other shipments to pick up on the way).  Our relocation specialist can help narrow this down according to when you want to load.  Please give us a call or text!   Making Moving Better, MovingYourself.com

Q.I will be moving from zip code 90505 in Torrance CA to zip code 23185 in Williamsburg VA. Included in my shipment is a spinet piano and piano bench. Will the piano be secured safely and how many days will it take to go from zip code to zip code? from Richard F. in CA

A. Richard, All of the moving trucks provided by MovingYourself.com are equipped with fuiture blankets, loading ramps, a dolly, and tie-down straps. Since you load and unload, it would be up to you to secure the piano, but you will have all of the equipment that you need to properly do it. It will take between 5 and 7 days for a cross country trip. Making Moving Better, MovingYourself.com

Q.We are moving approx. 170 mi from NC to GA. We have to be out of our house on Thurs, but cannot get into our new house until around 5 pm Fri. Is this schedule possible? from Sandy W. in NC

A. Michele, It will take approximately 4 to 6 days for us to get to Oregon. Making Moving Better, MovingYourself.com

Q.Do you offer storage at the destination city and state for a week or more after delivery? from Sandy P. in IL

A. Sandy, Most of our moving trucks operate on a "direct delivery" basis. This limits our storage abilities. Please call our offices and one of our relocation specialists can help you figure out the best way to deal with your shipment. Making Moving Better, MovingYourself.com

Q.I have used your service once before and I was very pleased. We want to use the service again but are facing a delay of approximately 30 days between loading and having our new residence ready to unload. Do you offer any kind of storage for a loaded trailer? from Forrest S. in VA

A. Forrest, Glad to have you back! Because of the nature of our service (direct shipments on moving vans), storage for that long is not really an option. We can generally help you for a few days here and there, but a month would be extremely cost prohibitive. I would suggest having us deliver to a mini storage. That will also give you greater flexibility in the event that you new home is not ready on time (which, unfortunately, is a common occurance that we deal with).

Q.What is your travel time from Florida to Massachusetts and is the arrival date guaranteed? from Barb H. in FL

A. Barb, Travel time to Massachusetts is 3 days. The arrival dates are guaranteed, but notice that I said dates, not date. Unless you are renting an entire moving truck, the delivery date of your shipment may be affected by the delivery of other shipments on the truck. There will be no more than a few days window in which your shipment would arrive. Your relocation specialist can help you determine when to expect your delivery.

Q.moving from ohio to lubbock texas, i'm wondering how to proceed should my stuff arrive before i do...should i plan on pickup a day after i leave? from Amy E. in OH

A. Amy, We can work to accommodate your schedule. You can anticipate the moving trucks travelling 550 miles a day. But, there might also be other pickups and stops in between (each shipment gets its own compartment on the moving van so you don't have to worry about them getting mixed up). The best way to schedule your move is to call one of our relocation specialists at 866-586-5970. They can help you work out the details. MovingYourself.com

Q.Do you guarantee arrival dates? Due to my husband and I's current working schedule, we would need the truck to arrive on a certain date. Is that possible? We are moving from 45012 to 37441? (Ohio to FL, about 900 miles), how far before our delivery date do we need to pack up in Ohio? What if we need more or less space then originally contracted for? Thank you, Heidi from Heidi A. in OH

A. Heidi, We give a small delivery window and guarantee that the moving truck will deliver in that window. Because there is more than one customer on the truck (each has a private compartment), delivery dates could be affected by the loading and unloading of other shipments. That being said, the closer we get to your pickup, the more narrow your window becomes because our load planners will have finished planning the moving van's trip. I would recommend calculating 550 miles of travel a day for the truck. So, for your shipment from Ohio to Florida you should load 2 days prior to your first available day for delivery. If you need more space, you can add up to 4 feet of space to your shipment at the same rate per foot that you paid for the rest of your move (subject to availability). Since we plan for the space in advance, no refunds are issued for space ordered that is not used. A call in to our relocation specialists at 866-586-5970 can further clarify some of your questions here. MovingYourself.com

Q.quote#A824--- We wanted to do a little site seeing on our move. We are estimating taking atleast 4 days to get to our destination. Does this pose a problem? Also could we get a list of testimonials to review? Thank You, Heather from heather g. in NV

A. Heather, Moving from Nevada to Virginia, you should have plenty of time to view the country. The absolute fastest transit time for your 2400 mile move would be 5 days, so you should be safe. We survey every customer that uses us. We will send some over to you.  We are also "A" rated at the Better Business Bureau and are accredited as a service provider in their system.

Q.2 Questions: 1) I'm going to be driving myself from CA to FL, and I will need to be the one to unload in FL. Can we coordinate a delivery date? 2) If I reserve a certain amount of feet and realize while loading that I'll need more, would that create a problem (other than the increased cost to me :-))? Thank you. from Yve S. in CA

A. Hi Yve, 2 Answers for those questions! 1) We can work with you on a delivery schedule that would meet your needs 2) You can get up to 4 extra feet on loading day if it is available. During busier times of the of year, the trucks are generally running very full and don't have a lot of "wiggle" room. It is best to order a little bit too much space so that you are not pressed on loading day. Making Moving Better MovingYourself.com
