That can feel like taking on the burden of a lifetime or it can be as simple as clicking two buttons online. If you choose our long-distance movers in Austin, it will feel like the two button option where you barely lift a finger. Technically, you will lift your fingers twice, but that’s really all you’ll have to do when you trust Sarver Movers as your long-distance moving company in Austin. The first finger lift is clicking the estimate button, the second is clicking to sign that estimate, but what goes into that estimate?
Let’s take a dive into what exactly you are signing and what that gets you as someone who is looking for long distance movers . Besides planning a long distance move, you need to start with getting multiple quotes and making sure that those quotes are “apples to apples.” In other words, you have a quote in your hands that shows the price of two long-distance movers right next to the price of two other long-distance movers from another company and you’re not sure which one is better. There are several tools you have in your tool house to determine which long-distance moving company you should go with.
Reviews and Online Rating
Let’s start with reviews and find out which company has the best reviews for moving in Austin? Sarver Movers is likely to win this contest as we have several hundred 5 star reviews on google and aren’t slowing down anytime soon. Many moving companies in our area either go out of business, don’t do long-distance moving and packing or simply won’t measure up to our established company. There’s no shame in their moving game, but it’s best that you leave the big or interstate moves to the experienced movers who have moved all over the United States.

Quotes & Prices
Next, you could look for the truck fee on each individual quote and determine which scenario is best for you and your move.
Dedicated Shipment
With a dedicated truck, we know that your goods won’t be handed off from moving company to moving company like they would with a broker. A dedicated truck does not have the problem of needing to find trustworthy movers to load and unload your goods in an 18 wheeler just to be dropped off at a warehouse somewhere near your final destination. If you’re not careful, your household goods may change hands several times and not end up in the right city! With a dedicated shipment, you ensure that this will not happen and your home arrives in safe hands. All of our long-distance moving quotes include dedicated shipments and packing services within them.
Unloading
The shipment arrives and what do you do next? You need a professional to unpack everything from the truck in a way that things don’t fall and crash all over the place. What’s the best way to pull a large dresser from a heap of furniture without causing any injury or damage to the rest of your goods? Luckily you can ask the long-distance movers who loaded the same truck back at your starting location in Austin.
If what you’ve read here so far hasn’t been convincing enough to help push you over the line to paying a little extra for a dedicated shipment, maybe educating you on the turnaround times will. We can get your household goods delivered to your new home within a few days, anywhere in the nation. The only way to get you moved faster would be to load your items in a plane and before you ask, I’m afraid that simply is not an option. You see, we don’t have to take things from one warehouse to another, wait to wrangle up 10 or more people who are all moving from Austin to the state of your choosing or wait on a driver to hopefully show up. No, everyone that is involved in your move is just the same driver and crew of strong and reliable movers who helped load your things at the beginning.

Pay Extra & Be Good
That is why you pay a little extra, to get the best possible service for your long-distance movers in order to avoid the myriad of problems that could occur by using a broker or going with a pod shipping service.
You get what you pay for and when you choose our company as your long-distance mover in Austin, you get the best and if it costs you a little more, so what? Does it really cost you more if we do a great job wrapping all of your furniture and nothing gets damaged? Does it cost you more if you don’t have to replace that $5,000 TV you bought a few weeks ago and have to move all the way to Seattle from Austin? The point is you have expensive items and if you are moving across the country or just nearby and out-of-state, many things can go wrong if you cheap out with your movers. In addition, if you want to get a long distance service, you need keep in mind the things to look for in long distance movers to be able to get the possible service.
Packing Material
You might be wondering to yourself about how many packing materials we will need to use to pack your kitchen and how much these packing materials cost for moving . You could always shop around online for these packing materials or you could simply hire our team of packing professionals to do the packing for you. We will oftentimes add packing in for free for long-distance moving jobs that have you moving over a certain number of miles away. This is usually the most cost efficient way to get your packing done and doesn’t cost us too much to throw in boxes for free. Afterall, if it gets us another job, then we certainly don’t mind giving away some boxes for free!
We want to make sure everything gets packed properly, it’s not really about the cost of the packing job itself. It’s more about having things done the right way and using the right protection in terms of packing materials used, proper technique and labeling of boxes. It sounds like an easy task, however, a lot can go wrong if things aren’t properly packed up, sealed and ready to go. We don’t care if the packing paper cost us $100 or more, we just want to make sure we don’t have to pay $1,000 for brand new china or kitchenware if things are not packed properly.
Hiring the right team of movers to properly pack everything is essential to your long-distance move, it’s even more important to have things properly packed on a long-distance move than a local one. This is because there are way more miles to drive in a long-distance move compared to a local one. When our driver has to drive a thousand miles, there will be a lot more friction involved in that drive compared to a local move with a drive that is a couple miles down the road. Our team of movers has to make sure that everything is correctly packed in order for all of your items to make it there without breaking. If things are completely protected, then they should be able to survive more than an interstate move, they’ll even be able to make it through an international move.
