Planning an intercity move
What's different about a long-distance move versus a local one.
Timeline is longer - plan earlier
- Intercity transit takes days, not hours - build that into your own move-out and move-in dates so you're not without essentials.
- Book earlier than you would for a local move, especially around peak relocation seasons.
Packing for distance
- Long-distance transit means more handling and longer time in transit - pack with extra protection, especially for fragile and electronic items.
Specialty items
- Gym equipment, temple installations, pianos - flag these during the survey so the right packing and loading plan is used, not a generic one.
Vehicles
- If you're also relocating a car or bike, vehicle transport on a carrier is generally safer and less wearing than driving it yourself over a long distance.
