Ship or Skip? Long-Distance Moving Advice

Moving long distances can be very difficult and adjusting to your new environment should be the only concern on your mind. Today we are outlining a guide on what to bring and what to ship for your long-distance move. It’s important to focus on bringing necessities and leaving the expendable items behind until you arrive at your new location.

Flying High

It may seem obvious, but the big items are the way to go shipping wise. If you’re taking a plane, it’s obvious that what doesn’t fit in the luggage should be an automatic ship, however, things get tricky road trip wise. Take your essential clothes, a couple of personal items, your toiletries, and things that you use on a daily basis- including your everyday electronics. Appliances, furniture, and all the other miscellaneous desktop items can be left for boxes and movers.

Road Trip!

If you are planning on driving to your destination, don’t look at this as a way to cram everything into your car. You want to make sure you’re able to exist in that car with all your items for the duration of your trip, especially if it’s going to be a long one. You also don’t want to have to constantly worry about the safety of your home goods as you stop at rest stops or restaurants. Often times choosing a professional moving company is the best way to go because of their expertise in keeping things secure and safe. You also might enjoy the flexibility of having people who could bring your things inside for you when you’re exhausted from a long drive.
