A long distance move is a move that is greater than 100-miles from the origin and/or the move crosses a state line. Two factors determine the major portion of the cost of your move. They are the distance you are moving and the cubic feet of your shipment.

123 Moving is able to provide low rates because we use the consolidated shipping process. Which means, instead of sending a moving van across the country with only your shipment on board, we consolidate your shipment with other customers’ shipments. This method of shipping allows you to receive a greatly reduced rate.

Most of us probably don’t know the exact cubic feet of our belongings.  In order to determine the approximate cubic feet total of your shipment, you can fill out our online estimate form or call 123 Moving, we will give you our rates for various cubic feet for budgeting purposes. We can also come out and give you a free estimate, one of our professional moving estimators will calculate your cubic feet and give you an estimate within 24 hours.

Besides the transportation charges, additional factors that will affect the price of your move include:
